The GPS icon on your watch blinks grey while searching and turns green when the
connection to your phone's GPS is established.
Not all sport modes use GPS. If you don't see the icon, it means the sport mode is for an
activity where GPS is not needed, like running on a treadmill or swimming in a pool, or that

NOTE: Using connected GPS increases battery power consumption on your mobile
