4.19.3.1. Using power zones when exercising
You need to have a power pod paired with your watch to be able to use power zones when
exercising, see 4.25. Pairing PODs and sensors.
When you record an exercise (see 4.28. Recording an exercise), and have selected power as
an intensity target (see 4.28.1. Using targets when exercising) a power zone gauge, divided
into five sections, is viewed. These five sections are shown around the outer edge of the
sport mode display. The gauge indicates the power zone you have chosen as an intensity
target by lighting up the corresponding section. The small arrow in the gauge indicates where
you are within the zone range.
Your watch alerts you when you hit your selected target zone. During your exercise the watch
will prompt you to speed up or slow down, if your power is outside the selected target zone.
In the exercise summary, you get a breakdown of how much time you have spent in each
zone.
