Watch Operation
Charging
Your watch should be fully charged before using. Attach the magnetic charging cable to the
watch’s charging port as shown below. Plug the USB end of the cable into any powered USB
port or USB charger. Charging may take as long as two and a half hours if the watch battery is
fully depleted. Your watch’s battery can last up to 25 days, but this will vary depending on
certain settings (backlight brightness, heart rate detection, and app notifications) and GPS
workout usage.
Turning the Watch ON and OFF
Press and Hold the Back button (Bottom Left Button) on the watch for 3 seconds to turn the
watch ON. To turn the watch OFF, Press and Hold the Back button on the watch for 3 seconds.A
menu will appear enabling you to either Power off or Restart the watch.
Sensors
Your watch has a built in optical Heart rate sensor (the 2 LED lights on the case back). Wearing
the watch too loosely may impact the data collection by the heart rate sensor.
Your watch also has a GPS which requires periodic software updates (A-GPS) to perform
optimally. Note that for proper recording of outdoor workouts you must wait for the GPS to
obtain your initial location (showing “GPS Ready” on the display) before starting your
workout.
Your watch also has a built-in accelerometer used to track activity (steps, distance and
cadence). The accelerometer is used for computing distance for non-GPS running and walking
workouts and may be calibrated using “Treadmill” workout mode for best accuracy. Your
watch uses a combination of the accelerometer and the heart rate sensor for tracking your
sleep.
Your watch also has a barometer (pressure sensor) for measuring changes in elevation during
outdoor workouts.

6
Wearing
Comfortably, but snugly, tighten the watch around your wrist, at least one finger width above
your wrist bone.
Note: Wearing the watch too loosely may impact the accuracy of the heart rate measurement.
When wearing the watch during workouts, which involve a great deal of wrist motion (such as
weightlifting), wearing the watch as far above the wrist as possible will provide the most
accurate heart rate measurement.
Your watch may be operated with both the touchscreen and the physical buttons. During
workouts you may wish to prevent accidental operation of the touchscreen and/or buttons and
can do so by enabling button lock once the workout is started. This feature is enabled and
disabled by holding the back button (lower left button) until the lock icon appears or
disappears.
Watch Updates
Periodically your watch will requires updates. These updates may be software related, or for
updating the satellite A-GPS data. A-GPS updates occur every couple of days to insure best GPS
performance for your outdoor workouts.
Note that updates such as A-GPS take less than a minute, but major software updates could
take as long as 15-20 minutes to complete. While an update is in process both the app and
watch will display the progress towards completion.
Most updates will start automatically when you sync the watch to the mobile app, but at any
time you can check for available updates on the app by clicking on the watch, on the dashboard
screen and scrolling down to “check for updates”.
You can verify the version of software on your watch by looking at “Firmware version” just
below “Check for updates” on the mobile app or by going to settings, about on the watch.
You can verify when the A-GPS was last updated on the watch from the settings, about screen
on the watch. If it has been seven days or more since it was updated, it is best to sync the
watch with the mobile app prior to performing an outdoor workout for quickest GPS sync and
best GPS accuracy.

7
Syncing and Bluetooth
See the quick start guide for instructions for connecting your watch to your Android phone or
iPhone. Your watch requires Bluetooth to communicate with your phone. If you are having
syncing issues with your watch and phone, make sure Bluetooth is turned ON. Toggling
Bluetooth on and off or rebooting the phone may improve syncing and connectivity issues.

Workout Features
Workouts with GPS
When performing GPS workouts it is key to let the watch reach “GPS Ready” prior to pressing
start to insure that all of your workout is recorded.
When using these modes, make sure you are outdoors with an unobstructed view of the sky
before selecting the outdoor run workout mode. The watch will then begin to obtain your initial
location from the GPS satellite data. Once it has obtained the location the display will change
from “Getting location with GPS” to “GPS Ready”. Once it reaches this state you are ready to
press the select button to start the workout recording.
Syncing your watch with the mobile app at least once per week will insure that the A-GPS
satellite data is up to date, helping your watch obtain your initial location more quickly.
If you travel to a location more than 60 miles from your last GPS workout, syncing the watch
with the app prior to performing the workout in this new location will improve the time for the
watch to get your initial location.
If you are competing in a race, you can go to the Workouts, Outdoor Run screen and let the
watch reach the GPS Ready state well before the start time of the race and then you will be all
set to just press Start when it is time to do so.

13
Workout modes
Choose from a variety of workout modes, some with GPS and others without:
Outdoor Run
Basic outdoor running mode with GPS
This mode will record your running workout with the GPS track, distance, pace/speed, laps,
cadence, calories, heart rate, ascent, descent and steps
Treadmill
Indoor running mode with no GPS
This mode will record your treadmill running workout with distance, pace/speed, laps,
cadence, calories, heart rate, and steps
Note that this mode allows you to calibrate the running activity algorithm for your
running style. When you stop the workout you will be shown the calculated distance and
can adjust it, using the up/down buttons on the watch, to the distance shown on the
treadmill. If the distance is off significantly and you press the select button without
adjusting the distance, your next treadmill workout may show significant distance error.
You can adjust the distance by +/- 50% of the calculated distance, but if an incorrect
calibration was previously saved, you may not be able to correct the calibration error in a
single workout and you may need to do another short treadmill run to recalibrate.
Cycling
Outdoor Bike mode with GPS
This mode will record your outdoor cycling workout with the GPS track, distance,
pace/speed, laps, calories, heart rate, ascent and descent.
Indoor Bike
Indoor cycling mode with no GPS
This mode will record your indoor cycling workout with laps, calories, and heart rate.
It will not record distance or speed/pace, as it can not measure this information for
indoor cycling via the sensors in the watch.

14
Walking
Similar to Outdoor Run with GPS
Any Sport (GPS or No GPS)
Use Any Sport GPS for different workout modes such as Golf, or outdoor Swimming. Any
Sport no GPS can be used for indoor sports such as Yoga or Tennis.
Race Modes
Race Against Saved Workouts allows you to record a workout while
comparing to a previous (saved) workout. This only applies for outdoor Running and
Cycling (GPS). While recording a workout in this mode the display will toggle
between the standard workout display and the race against display. The race against
display shows if you are on-target with, ahead of or behind the prior workout and
shows the disance ahead or behind.
Race Mode feature allows you to set a distance (Run or Bike) and
provides additional data fields to the selectable bottom row fields during the
workout. The three additional fields added are estimated finish time, race time and
distance remaining.

15
Button Lock
Button lock prevents accidental touchscreen or button presses during a workout. This can be
very helpful in preventing accidental pausing, etc. of a workout due to wrist flexing or wet
clothes interacting with the touchscreen.
During any workout, press and hold the Back Button for 2 seconds. An alert appears instructing
you to continue holding. After 5 seconds, button lock will activate and, a small lock icon will
appear on the workout display. To Turn off button lock, do the same sequence; Press and hold
back button for 2 seconds to activate the feature; an alert appears instructing you to continue
holding, and after 5 seconds, button lock will be turned off and normal workout mode is
displayed.
Taking Laps
Press the up button during a workout to record a manual lap. If autolap is on the next autolap
will begin from this time. When a manual or automatic lap is taken, the lap summary screen will
display for three seconds.
Note that the current lap is shown at the top right of the workout display screen above the
Lap icon.
Changing Workout Metrics During a workout
Pressing the down pusher will cycle the bottom field on the workout page between all of the
