Multisport

Triathletes, duathletes, and other multisport competitors can take advantage of the multisport activities, such as Triathlon or Swimrun. During a multisport activity, you can transition between activities and continue to view your total time. For example, you can switch from biking to running and view your total time for biking and running throughout the multisport activity.

You can customize a multisport activity, or you can use the default triathlon activity set up for a standard triathlon.

Triathlon Training

When you participate in a triathlon, you can use the triathlon activity to quickly transition to each sport segment, to time each segment, and to save the activity.

  1. From the watch face, swipe left.
  2. Select Activities > Multisport > Triathlon.
  3. Press Line drawing of the watch with a top button callout to start the activity timer.
    NOTE: The first time you start a triathlon activity, you can turn on Auto Sport Change so the watch will automatically detect sport changes and advance to the next transition or sport (Activity Settings).
  4. If necessary, press Line drawing of the watch with a bottom button callout at the beginning and end of each transition (How can I undo a lap button press?).

    The transition feature is on by default, and the transition time is recorded separately from the activity time. The transition feature can be turned on or off in the triathlon activity settings. If transitions are turned off, press Line drawing of the watch with a bottom button callout to change sports.

  5. After you complete your activity, press Line drawing of the watch with a top button callout, and select Save.
