Activity Settings

These settings allow you to customize each preloaded activity app based on your needs. For example, you can customize data pages and enable alerts and training features. Not all settings are available for all activity types.

Select START, select an activity, hold UP, and select the activity settings.

Accent Color: Sets the accent color of each activity to help identify which activity is active.

Alerts: Sets the training or navigation alerts for the activity.

Auto Lap: Sets the options for the Auto Lap® feature (Marking Laps by Distance).

Auto Pause: Sets the device to stop recording data when you stop moving or when you drop below a specified speed (Enabling Auto Pause).

Auto Scroll: Enables you to move through all of the activity data screens automatically while the timer is running (Using Auto Scroll).

Auto Set: Enables the device to start and stop exercise sets automatically during a strength training activity.

Background Color: Sets the background color of each activity to black or white.

Data Screens: Enables you to customize data screens and add new data screens for the activity (Customizing the Data Screens).

Edit Weight: Allows the user to add and edit the weight used during a rep counting activity.

GPS: Sets the mode for the GPS antenna. Using GPS + GLONASS or GPS + GALILEO provides increased performance in challenging environments and faster position acquisition (GPS and Other Satellite Systems).

Using either of these options can reduce battery life more than using the GPS option only. Using the UltraTrac option records track points and sensor data less frequently (UltraTrac).

Metronome: Plays tones at a steady rhythm to help you improve your performance by training at a faster, slower, or more consistent cadence (Using the Metronome).

Pool Size: Sets the pool length for pool swimming.

Power Save Timeout: Sets the power-save timeout setting for the activity (Power Save Timeout Settings).

Rename: Sets the activity name.

Restore Defaults: Allows you to reset the activity settings.

Stroke Detect.: Enables stroke detection for pool swimming.
