Indoor Activities
The watch can be used for training indoors, such as running on an indoor track or using a stationary bike or
indoor trainer. GPS is turned off for indoor activities.
When running or walking with GPS turned off, speed and distance are calculated using the accelerometer in the
watch. The accelerometer is self-calibrating. The accuracy of the speed and distance data improves after a few
outdoor runs or walks using GPS.
TIP: Holding the handrails of the treadmill reduces accuracy.
When cycling with GPS turned off, speed and distance data are not available unless you have an optional sensor
that sends speed and distance data to the watch, such as a speed or cadence sensor.
Going for a Virtual Run
You can pair your watch with a compatible third-party app to transmit pace, heart rate, or cadence data.
1Press START.
2Select Virtual Run.
3On your tablet, laptop, or phone, open the Zwift app or another virtual training app.
4Follow the on-screen instructions to start a running activity and pair the devices.
5Press START to start the activity timer.
6After you complete your activity, press STOP, and select Save.
Calibrating the Treadmill Distance
To record more accurate distances for your treadmill runs, you can calibrate the treadmill distance after you run
at least 1.5km (1mi.) on a treadmill. If you use different treadmills, you can manually calibrate the treadmill
distance on each treadmill or after each run.
1Start a treadmill activity (Starting an Activity, page3).
2Run on the treadmill until your watch records at least 1.5km (1mi.).
3After you finish the activity, press STOP to stop the activity timer.
4Select an option:
To calibrate the treadmill distance the first time, select Save.
The device prompts you to complete the treadmill calibration.
To manually calibrate the treadmill distance after the first-time calibration, select Calibrate & Save > .
5Check the treadmill display for the distance traveled, and enter the distance on your watch.
Health Snapshot
The Health Snapshot feature is an activity on your watch that records several key health metrics while you hold
still for two minutes. It provides a glimpse of your overall cardiovascular status. The watch records metrics
such as your average heart rate, stress level, and respiration rate. You can add the Health Snapshot activity to
the list of your favorite activities (Activities and Apps, page2).
