THIRD-PARTY POWER SENSORS

The watch measures your power data during your running or cycling sessions if you pair the watch with a
separate running or cycling power sensor. You can choose the power data you want to view during your
sessions by customizing the training views in the Flow web service
Load Pro feature uses the power data to calculate Muscle Load, so you will also get a Muscle Load value
for your running or cycling sessions when using a separate running or cycling power sensor.
Running Power
Running Power is a great tool to measure the external load of your running. It reacts faster than heart
rate so it's ideal for measuring your load for uphill running and interval sessions. You can also use it to
maintain a steady effort level during your run even in varying terrain. Running Power complements
heart rate measurement: when you measure both you can detect changes in your running performance.
If after weeks of training you can produce the same power with lower heart rate, your running per-
formance has improved.

Cycling Power
Measuring your cycling power helps you to monitor and develop your cycling performance and pedaling
technique. Unlike heart rate, power output is an absolute and objective value of effort. This means that
you can also compare your power values with your fellow cyclists who are of the same sex and about the
same size as you are; or compare watts per kilogram for the most reliable results. Seeing how your heart
rate corresponds to the power zones also gives more insight.

PAIR A HEART RATE SENSOR WITH YOUR WATCH

When you're wearing a Polar heart rate sensor that's paired with your watch, the watch does not
measure heart rate from the wrist.
