Additional sport profile settings, including editing training views and heart rate, speed/pace, and power training zones, are available in the app and web service.

Vibration feedback

Turn vibration feedback on or off.

If you turn the feature on, your watch alarms you by vibrating when for example, you start or stop a training session, GPS signal is found and when you are out of your target heart rate limits.

Always-on display

Turn always-on display on or off.

When always-on display is turned on, the watch display remains illuminated throughout your training session. Please note that this setting drains the battery faster than the default setting.

Slap

Choose Off or Take a lap. If you choose Take a lap, you can mark a lap during a training session by firmly slapping the display.

Automatic pause

Tap Automatic pause to turn it on or off. When you turn on Automatic pause, set the speed limit for automatic pausing. When your speed falls below the selected speed limit, your training session is paused automatically.

To use Automatic pause during training, set the GPS recording rate to Every 1 second (high).

Automatic lap

Set Automatic lap to Distance-based, Duration-based, Location-based, or Off. If you choose Distance-based, set the distance after which each lap is taken. If you choose Duration-based, set the duration after which each lap is taken. If you choose Location-based, a lap is taken every time you arrive at the point where you started the session.

Positioning satellites
