Health Snapshot
The Health Snapshot feature is an activity on your watch
that records several key health metrics while you hold
still for two minutes. It provides a glimpse of your overall
cardiovascular status. The watch records metrics such
as your average heart rate, stress level, and respiration
rate. You can add the Health Snapshot activity to the list
of your favorite activities (

Indoor Activities
The watch can be used for training indoors, such as
running on an indoor track or using a stationary bike
or indoor trainer. GPS is turned off for indoor activities
(
Activities and App Settings, page 29
).
When running or walking with GPS turned off, speed and
distance are calculated using the accelerometer in the
watch. The accelerometer is self-calibrating. The accuracy
of the speed and distance data improves after a few
outdoor runs or walks using GPS.
TIP: Holding the handrails of the treadmill reduces
accuracy.
When cycling with GPS turned off, speed and distance
data are not available unless you have an optional sensor
