Is there a way to use the accelerometer in Garmin Fenix 3? I am developing a Stroke Coach application for my Fenix 3 watch.
My issue is that I don't know how to utilize the accelerometer sensor that I know is in my watch. I have searched the documentation for developing Apps for all Garmin IQ compatible devices with no luck.
Any ideas on this one?

Accelerometers calculate the distance covered based upon your stride length, stride frequency, and arm swing. The accelerometer calibrates based on your form and cadence on outdoor runs. It then counts your steps on a treadmill run and estimates your distance in the recorded time frame.
Some Garmin watches feature an accelerometer that can provide speed and distance indoors or when a GPS signal is lost. Watches are pre-calibrated with a table of default values based on the averages of many runners and the calibration is refined every time the watch is used outdoors with GPS.
Accelerometer data is available as of the v1.2.1 Connect IQ SDK release. You can read the specifics about the API in the online docs, and there is also a simple AccelMag sample app included with the SDK that demonstrates the use of the accelerometer.

Currently there is no way to access the internal sensors of the watches. ANT+ Sensors are the only things exposed to apps in Toybox.
