3.16.2.1. Using pace zones when exercising
When you record an exercise (see 3.25. Recording an exercise), and have selected pace as
an intensity target (see 3.25.1. Using targets when exercising) a pace zone gauge, divided into
five sections, is viewed. These five sections are shown around the outer edge of the sport
mode display. The gauge indicates the pace zone you have chosen as an intensity target by
lighting up the corresponding section. The small arrow in the gauge indicates where you are
within the zone range.
Your watch alerts you when you hit your selected target zone. During your exercise the watch
will prompt you to speed up or slow down, if your pace is outside the selected target zone.
In addition, there is a dedicated display for pace zones in the sport mode default display. The
zone display shows your current pace zone in the middle field, how long you have been in
