Auto Rest
The auto rest feature is available only for pool swimming. Your device automatically detects when you are
resting, and the rest screen appears. If you rest for more than 15 seconds, the device automatically creates a
rest interval. When you resume swimming, the device automatically starts a new swim interval. You can turn on
the auto rest feature in the activity options (
Activities and App Settings, page 80
).
TIP: For best results using the auto rest feature, minimize your arm motions while resting.
If you do not want to use the auto rest feature, you can select
to manually mark the beginning and end of
each rest interval.

Viewing Your Ski Runs
Your device 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 timer pauses when you stop moving downhill and when you are on a chairlift.
The timer remains paused during the chairlift ride. You can start moving downhill to restart the timer. You can
view run details from the paused screen or while the timer is running.

The run screens include time, distance traveled, maximum speed, average speed, and total descent.
Cross-Country Skiing Power Data
You can use your compatible Forerunner device paired with the HRM-Pro accessory to provide real-time
feedback about your cross-country skiing performance.
NOTE: The HRM-Pro accessory must be paired to the Forerunner device using ANT
®
technology. If your
Forerunner device was packaged with the HRM-Pro accessory, the devices are already paired.
Power is the force you generate while skiing. The power output is measured in watts. Factors that affect power
include your speed, elevation changes, wind, and snow conditions. You can use power output to measure and
improve your skiing performance.
NOTE: Skiing power values are generally lower than cycling power values. This is normal and occurs because
humans are less efficient at skiing than they are at cycling. It is common for ski power values to be 30 to 40
percent lower than cycling power values at the same training intensity.
