Training settings
To access the training settings, open Settings in pre-training mode and during a session when paused.
The options displayed in the training settings depend on the sport you have chosen and whether you are using GPS.
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.
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.
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.
