1. An activity monitoring system comprising:

  • a portable monitoring device adapted to couple to a body of a user, the portable monitoring device including;

    a housing having a physical size and shape that is adapted to couple to the body of the user;

    a motion sensor, disposed in the housing, to detect motion of a user and, in response thereto, to generate data which is representative of motion of the user;

    processing circuitry, disposed in the housing and coupled to the motion sensor, to calculate a number of steps taken by the user using the data which is representative of motion of the user; and

    a display, coupled to the processing circuitry, to display data which is representative of the number of steps, wherein the display includes a data transfer mode to optically transmit data which is representative of the number of steps taken by the user; and
