sensors within range of your watch.

When you have connected to your sensor once, your watch always reconnects to your sensor. 
When the chainring icon has stopped flashing, your watch is ready to measure your speed and 
cadence. You can start cycling with no GPS fix but for proper GPS tracking, wait until the GPS 
icon has also stopped flashing before you start your cycling activity. 
Tip: When you are using the Cadence & Speed Sensor for cycling activities, you are warned when 
no speed data is being received from the sensor....
