Marking Laps Using the Auto Lap Feature

You can use the Auto Lap® feature to mark a lap at a specific distance or position automatically. This feature is helpful for comparing your performance over different parts of an activity (for example, every 1 mile or 5 kilometers, or during training sprints).

  1. Hold UP.
  2. Select Activities & Apps.
  3. Select an activity.
    NOTE: This feature is not available for all activities.
  4. Select the activity settings.
  5. Select Laps.
  6. Select an option:

    • Select Auto Lap > By Distance to mark a lap at a specific distance.

    • Select Auto Lap > By Position to mark a lap at the start and manual lap positions.

    • Select Auto Lap > Off to turn Auto Lap off.

  7. Select Auto Distance to adjust the distance between laps (optional).

Each time you complete a lap, a message appears that displays the time for that lap. The device also beeps or vibrates if audible tones are turned on (System Settings).
