Heart rate zones 
Note: For your watch to be able to measure your heart rate, it must be connected to a Heart Rate

To train using a heart rate zone, do the following :

2. Move right. 
3. Move down and select Training.

Tip: To help your watch last for up to 20% longer on a battery charge, turn off sensors that you are
