In addition to 24/7 activity monitoring, you can use your watch to record your training sessions or other activities to get detailed feedback and follow your progress.
To record an exercise:
Above the start indicator, a set of icons appear, depending on what you are using with the sport mode (such as heart rate and connected GPS):
There is also a battery estimation visible, that tells you how many hours you can exercise before the battery runs out.
If you are using a heart rate sensor but the icon turns to green only (meaning that the optical heart rate sensor is active), check that the heart rate sensor is paired, see Pairing pods and sensors, and try again.
You can wait for each icon to turn green (recommended for more accurate data) or start the recording as soon as you like by selecting Start.
Once the recording is started, the selected heart rate source is locked and cannot be changed during the ongoing training session.
While recording, you can switch between displays with the middle button.
Press the upper button to pause the recording. A timer starts blinking at the bottom of the screen showing how long the recording has been paused.
Press the lower button to open the list of options.
Stop and save by selecting End.
It is also possible to delete your exercise log by selecting Discard.
After you stop the recording, you are asked how you felt. You can answer or skip the question (see Feeling). The next screen shows a summary of the activity that you can browse through with the touch screen or buttons.
If you made a recording you do not want to keep, you can delete the log entry by scrolling to the bottom of the summary and tapping the delete button. You can also delete logs in the same way from the logbook.
