points are recorded once an hour, and they are not recorded after sunset. Recording track points less

frequently maximizes battery life.

that include multiple transitions, such as a swimrun.

Activity Alerts

You can set alerts for each activity, which can help you to train toward specific goals, to increase your

awareness of your environment, and to navigate to your destination. Some alerts are available only for specific

activities. There are three types of alerts: event alerts, range alerts, and recurring alerts.

Event alert: An event alert notifies you once. The event is a specific value. For example, you can set the watch to

alert you when you burn a specified number of calories.

Range alert: A range alert notifies you each time the watch is above or below a specified range of values. For

example, you can set the watch to alert you when your heart rate is below 60beats per minute (bpm) and

over 210bpm.

Recurring alert: A recurring alert notifies you each time the watch records a specified value or interval. For

example, you can set the watch to alert you every 30minutes.
