Triathlon Training
When you participate in a triathlon, you can use the triathlon activity to quickly transition to each sport segment,
to time each segment, and to save the activity.
1 From the watch face, press START.
2 Select Triathlon.
3 Press START to start the activity timer.
4 Press LAP at the beginning and end of each transition.
The transition feature is on by default, and the transition time is recorded separately from the activity time.
The transition feature can be turned on or off in the triathlon activity settings. If transitions are turned off,
press LAP to change sports.
5 After you complete your activity, press STOP, and select Save.
Creating a Multisport Activity
1 From the watch face, press START.
2 Select Add > Multisport.
3 Select a multisport activity type, or enter a custom name.
Duplicate activity names include a number. For example, Triathlon(2).
4 Select two or more activities.
5 Select an option:
• Select an option to customize specific activity settings. For example, you can select whether to include
transitions.
• Select Done to save and use the multisport activity.
6 Select Yes to add the activity to your list of favorites.
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 34
).
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
that sends speed and distance data to the watch, such as a speed or cadence sensor.
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.
