Going for a Virtual Run

You can pair your watch with a compatible third-party app to transmit pace, heart rate, or cadence data.
1 From the watch face, press GPS.
2 Select Virtual Run.

4 Follow the on-screen instructions to start a running activity and pair the devices.
5 Press GPS to start the activity timer.

Calibrating the Treadmill Distance

To record more accurate distances for your treadmill runs, you can calibrate the treadmill distance after you run
at least 1.5 km (1 mi.) on a treadmill. If you use different treadmills, you can manually calibrate the treadmill
distance on each treadmill or after each run.
1 Start a treadmill activity
2 Run on the treadmill until your watch records at least 1.5 km (1 mi.).
3 After you finish the activity, press GPS to stop the activity timer.
4 Select an option:
• To calibrate the treadmill distance the first time, select Save.
The device prompts you to complete the treadmill calibration.
• To manually calibrate the treadmill distance after the first-time calibration, select Calibrate & Save >
5 Check the treadmill display for the distance traveled, and enter the distance on your watch.

Recording an Obstacle Racing Activity

When you participate in an obstacle course race, you can use the Obstacle Racing activity to record your time on
each obstacle and your time running between obstacles.
1 From the watch face, press GPS.
2 Select Obstacle Racing.
3 Press GPS to start the activity timer.
4 Press SET to manually mark the beginning and end of each obstacle.
NOTE: You can configure the Obstacle Tracking setting to save obstacle locations from your first loop of the
course. On repeat loops of the course, the watch uses the saved locations to switch between obstacle and
running intervals.
5 After you complete your activity, press GPS, and select Save.

Swimming

The device is intended for surface swimming. Scuba diving with the device may damage the product and will
void the warranty.
NOTE: The watch has wrist-based heart rate enabled for swim activities.

Swim Terminology

Length: One trip down the pool.
Interval: One or more consecutive lengths. A new interval starts after a rest.
Stroke: A stroke is counted every time your arm wearing the device completes a full cycle.
Swolf: Your swolf score is the sum of the time for one pool length and the number of strokes for that length.
For example, 30 seconds plus 15 strokes equals a swolf score of 45. For open water swimming, swolf is
calculated over 25 meters. Swolf is a measurement of swimming efficiency and, like golf, a lower score is
better.
