Starting an Activity

When you start an activity, GPS turns on automatically (if required).

  1. From the watch face, press GPS.
  2. If this is the first time you are starting an activity, select the checkbox next to each activity to add to your favorites, and select Done.
  3. Select an option:

    • Select an activity from your favorites.

    • Select Extended activity list, and select an activity from the extended activity list.

  4. If the activity requires GPS signals, go outside to an area with a clear view of the sky, and wait until the watch is ready.

    The watch is ready after it establishes your heart rate, acquires GPS signals (if required), and connects to your wireless sensors (if required).

  5. Press GPS to start the activity timer.

    The watch records activity data only while the activity timer is running.
