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42).

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.
