Using the default settings, only a limited amount of data is visible on the watch mid-workout (you won't be able to see your heart rate during a spin session, for example).
For example, if you're keen on spinning like us, you'll be able to add indoor cycling to the top of the list. Tap the top right button to view available workout types and scroll down to choose which appear at the top of the list for quick access. You can choose whether to follow this advice, which is based on your activity history, or dismiss it and do your own thing.īefore taking the watch on your first workout, however, it pays to spend some time customizing its menus. One new feature that'll be particularly helpful for anyone new to working out is the training suggestions that appear on the watch before you begin monitoring an activity.
You can choose which options appear here, and in what order, by scrolling down and selecting the green plus icon, so if your favorite activity is spinning or swimming, you can ensure this appears first, To start tracking a workout, press the button at the top right and scroll down to select a workout type. The top right button serves to start and stop activities, and is also marked with a contrasting color so you don't accidentally stop tracking mid-workout. To avoid confusion, each button is labelled on the watch's bezel. New runners might be daunted by the number of buttons, but it has advantages: there's no need to memorize presses for multi-function controls, and it's easier to operate with sweaty hands or in the pool.
