About activities
In the activities menu, you can start one of the activities available on your watch:
Run
Cycle
Swim
Treadmill
Freestyle
Stopwatch
Note
: Not all activities are available on all watches.
When you select
Run
,
Cycle
or
Freestyle
, your watch uses its internal GPS receiver to measure your
speed, and to record the route you have taken.
If your watch has a heart rate monitor and the
heart rate sensor
is set to ON, your heart rate is shown
during your activity. This includes running, cycling, treadmill and freestyle.
When you select
Swim
or
Treadmill
, your watch uses its internal motion sensor to measure your
strides on the treadmill, and strokes and turns in the swimming pool. Your watch uses this information
to estimate your speed and the distance you have covered.
Select
Freestyle
when you want to do an activity other than running, cycling or swimming. This means
that you can keep clean histories and totals for running, cycling and swimming.
Calories for the freestyle activity are based on heart rate. For other activities calories are linked to that
specific sport but for freestyle, the watch doesn’t know which sport you are doing. Hence when no
heart rate measurement is available, calories are not shown for the freestyle activity.
When you select
Stopwatch
, you can use your watch to show elapsed time, mark laps and see times
for your current and previous laps.
