TIP: Holding the handrails of the treadmill reduces accuracy.
You can use an optional foot pod to record pace, distance, and
cadence.
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 device, such as a speed or
cadence sensor.
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 2).
2
Run on the treadmill until your Instinct Esports device records
at least 1.5 km (1 mi.).
3
After you complete your run, press GPS.
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 > Yes.
5
Check the treadmill display for the distance traveled, and
enter the distance on your device.
Outdoor Activities
The Instinct device comes preloaded with outdoor activities,
such as running and cycling. GPS is turned on for outdoor
activities. You can add new activities based on default activities,
such as walking or rowing. You can also add custom activities to
your device (Creating a Custom Activity, page 2).
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.

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 device cannot record wrist heart rate data while
swimming.
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. Swolf is a measurement of swimming efficiency and, like
golf, a lower score is better.
Critical swim speed (CSS): Your CSS is the theoretical speed
that you can maintain continuously without exhaustion. You
can use your CSS to guide your training pace and monitor
your improvement.
Stroke Types
Stroke type identification is available only for pool swimming.
Your stroke type is identified at the end of a length. Stroke types
appear in your swimming history and in your Garmin Connect
account. You can also select stroke type as a custom data field
(Customizing the Data Screens, page 13).
Free Freestyle
Back Backstroke
Breast Breaststroke
Fly Butterfly
Mixed More than one stroke type in an interval
Drill Used with drill logging (Training with the Drill Log, page 4)
Tips for Swimming Activities
• Before starting a pool swimming activity, follow the on-screen
instructions to select your pool size or enter a custom size.
The next time you start a pool swimming activity, the device
uses this pool size. You can hold MENU, select the activity
settings, and select Pool Size to change the size.
• Press BACK to record a rest during pool swimming.
The device automatically records swim intervals and lengths
for pool swimming.
Resting During Pool Swimming
The default rest screen displays two rest timers. It also displays
time and distance for the last completed interval.
NOTE: Swim data is not recorded during a rest.
