Going for a Virtual Run You can pair your watch with a compatible third-party app to transmit pace, heart rate, or cadence data. 1 From the watch face, press GPS. 2 Select Virtual Run. 3 On your tablet, laptop, or phone, open the Zwift™ app or another virtual training app. 4 Follow the on-screen instructions to start a running activity and pair the devices. 5 Press GPS to start the activity timer. 6 After you complete your activity, press GPS, 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. 1 Start a treadmill activity (Starting an Activity, page 7). 2 Run on the treadmill until your watch records at least 1.5 km (1 mi.). 3 After you finish the activity, press GPS to stop the activity timer. 4 Select 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 > . 5 Check the treadmill display for the distance traveled, and enter the distance on your watch. Swimming NOTICE The device is intended for surface swimming. Scuba diving with the device may damage the product and will void the warranty. NOTE: The watch has wrist-based heart rate enabled for swim activities. Swim Terminology Length: One trip down the pool. Interval: One or more consecutive lengths. A new interval starts after a rest. Stroke: A stroke is counted every time your arm wearing the device completes a full cycle. Swolf: Your swolf score is the sum of the time for one pool length and the number of strokes for that length. For example, 30 seconds plus 15 strokes equals a swolf score of 45. For open water swimming, swolf is calculated over 25 meters. Swolf is a measurement of swimming efficiency and, like golf, a lower score is better. Activities and Apps 9
