Viewing Your Ski Runs
Your watch records the details of each downhill skiing or snowboarding run using the auto run feature. This
feature is turned on by default for downhill skiing and snowboarding. It automatically records new ski runs
based on your movement. The activity timer pauses when you stop moving downhill and when you are on a
chairlift. The activity timer remains paused during the chairlift ride. You can start moving downhill to restart the
activity timer. You can view run details from the paused screen or while the activity timer is running.
