Viewing Your Ski Runs
Your device records the details of each downhill skiing
or snowboarding run using the auto run feature. This
feature is turned on by default for downhill skiing and
snowboarding. It automatically records new ski runs
based on your movement.
The timer pauses when you stop moving downhill and
when you are on a chairlift. The timer remains paused
during the chairlift ride. You can start moving downhill
to restart the timer. You can view run details from the
paused screen or while the timer is running.

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. Swolf is a
measurement of swimming efficiency and, like
golf, a lower score is better.
