Aspects of generating movement measures that quantify motion data samples generated by a wearable electronic device are discussed herein. For example, in one aspect, an embodiment may obtain motion data samples generated by the set of motion sensors in a wearable electronic device. The wearable electronic device may then generate a first movement measure based on a quantification of the first set of motion data samples. The wearable electronic device may also generate a second movement measure based on a quantification of the second set of the motion data samples. The wearable electronic device may then cause the non-transitory machine readable storage medium to store the first movement measure and the second movement measure as time series data.
