Training settings

Always-on display:

Choose Always-on display, and choose Off, On for this session or On for this sport

With always on chosen the watch display will be illuminated throughout your training session. If you choose On for this session, the setting will default back to Off after you finish your training session. If you choose On for this sport, the setting will also apply in future training sessions with this sport.

Please note that the always on setting will drain your battery much faster than the default setting.

The power save settings allow you to extend your training time by changing the GPS recording rate and setting Wrist-based heart rate off. These settings let you optimize battery usage and get more training time for extra long sessions or when the battery is running low.

For more information, see Power save settings

Share HR with other devices:

Use watch as heart rate sensor: Using your watch as a heart rate sensor means that you allow sharing your heart rate to another device, such as gym equipment. To use your watch as a heart rate sensor, you first need to pair it with the receiving external device. Refer to receiving device's user guide for detailed pairing instructions. For more information, see HR sensor mode.

Heart rate visible to all: Broadcasting your live heart rate publicly means that any compatible app or device nearby can pick up your heart rate. You can use this, for example, in a group exercise class where everyone's heart rate is shared on a screen, or when a coach or teacher wants to monitor your heart rate. For more information, see Live heart rate broadcasting.

Find my phone:

The Find My Phone feature allows you to locate your lost or misplaced phone using your watch. For more information, see Find My Phone.

Calibrate compass

Follow the instructions on the display to calibrate the compass.

When using the Swimming/Pool swimming profile, it’s important that you choose the correct pool length, as it affects pace, distance and stroke calculation, as well as your SWOLF score. Tap Pool length to access the Pool length setting and change the previously set pool length if necessary. The default lengths are 25 meters, 50 meters and 25 yards, but you can also set it manually to a custom length. The minimum length that can be chosen is 17 meters/yards.

The pool length setting is only available in Settings in the pre-training mode.

Calibrate power sensor:

If you have paired a third-party cycling power sensor with your watch, you can calibrate the sensor from Settings. First choose one of the cycling sport profiles and wake up the transmitters by rotating the cranks. Then choose Calibrate power sensor from Settings and follow the on-screen instructions to calibrate your sensor. For calibration instructions specific to your power sensor, see the manufacturer's instructions.

If you have paired a Bluetooth-compatible stride sensor with your watch, you can calibrate the sensor from Settings. First choose one of the running sport profiles, then open Settings. Navigate to Calibrate stride sensor and choose either Calibrate by running or Calibration factor.

• Calibrate by running: Start the training session and run a distance you know. The distance has to be more than 400 meters. When you have ran the distance, press OK to take a lap. Set the actual distance you have ran and press OK. The calibration factor is updated.
  

  Please note that interval timer cannot used during the calibration. If you have set the interval timer on, the watch will ask you to turn it off to enable manual stride sensor calibration. You can turn the timer on from Settings in pause mode after calibration.

• Calibration factor: Set the calibration factor manually if you know the factor which gives you accurate distance.

For detailed instructions on manual and automatic calibration of a stride sensor, see Calibrating a stride sensor with Grit X/Pacer/Vantage.

This option is shown only if you have paired a stride sensor with your watch.

The Race Pace feature helps you keep a steady pace and achieve your target time for a set distance. Define a target time for the distance - 45 minutes for a 10k run for example and follow how far behind or ahead you are compared to your pre-set target. You can also check what the steady pace/speed to meet your target is.

Race Pace can be set on your watch. Just choose the distance and target duration and you’re ready to go. You can also set a Race Pace target in the Flow web service or app, and sync it to your watch.

For more information, see Race Pace.

You can set time and/or distance based interval timers to precisely time work and recovery phases in your interval training sessions.

To add interval timer to your training views for the session, choose Timer for this session > On. You can use a previously set timer or create a new timer by returning to Settings and choosing Interval timer > Set interval timer:

1. Choose Time-based or Distance-based: Time-based: Define minutes and seconds for the timer and press OK. Distance-based: Set the distance for the timer and press OK. Set another timer? is shown. To set another timer, press OK.
2. When completed, the watch returns to pre-training mode where you can start the training session. The timer starts when you start the training session.

For more information, see During Training.

To add countdown timer to your training views for the session, choose Timer for this session > On. You can use a previously set timer or create a new timer by returning to Settings and choosing Countdown timer > Set timer. Set the countdown time, and press OK to confirm.
