Recording a Strength Training Activity
You can record sets during a strength training activity. A set is multiple repetitions (reps) of a single move.
- From the watch face, select START > Strength.
The first time you record a strength training activity, you must select which wrist your watch is on.
- Select START to start the set timer.
- Start your first set.
The device counts your reps. Your rep count appears when you complete at least four reps.
TIP: The device can only count reps of a single move for each set. When you want to change moves, you should finish the set and start a new one.
- Select BACK to finish the set.
The watch displays the total reps for the set. After several seconds, the rest timer appears.
- If necessary, select DOWN and edit the number of reps.
TIP: You can also add the weight used for the set.
- When you are done resting, select BACK to start your next set.
- Repeat for each strength training set until your activity is complete.
- After your last set, select START to stop the set timer.
- Select Save.
Tips for Recording Strength Training Activities
- Do not look at the device while performing reps.
You should interact with the device at the beginning and end of each set, and during rests.
- Focus on your form while performing reps.
- Perform bodyweight or free weight exercises.
- Perform reps with a consistent, wide range of motion.
Each rep is counted when the arm wearing the device returns to the starting position.
NOTE: Leg exercises may not be counted.
- Turn on automatic set detection to start and stop your sets.
- Save and send your strength training activity to your Garmin Connect account.
You can use the tools in your Garmin Connect account to view and edit activity details.
