About activities

On the activities screen, you can start one of the activities available on your watch:

Run

Cycle

Swim

Treadmill

Stopwatch
Note: Not all activities are available on all watches.
When you select Run or Cycle, your watch uses its internal GPS receiver to measure your speed, and
to record the route you have taken.
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.
When you select Stopwatch, you can use your watch to show elapsed time, mark laps and see times
for your current and previous laps.
