Temperature training view

The temperature training view shows the current air temperature during training sessions on your watch display. Temperature is measured with the barometer, which is located in a pinhole on the left side of the watch between the BACK and LIGHT buttons. Mud and dirt in these small holes can cause inaccurate and inconsistent temperature readings. Keep them clean and unblocked to make sure the barometer works properly. Wash the watch under running water with a mild soap and water solution after each training session, and wipe it dry with a soft towel.

Note that when wearing your watch on your wrist, your body heat affects the air temperature reading. Wearing your watch on top of the sleeve of your shirt/jacket can give you more accurate readings but to get the most accurate air temperature readings, take your watch off your wrist for 15-30 minutes. When cycling, a good place for the watch is on the handlebars of your bike.
