Before starting measurement, use the procedure under Configuring Initial Default Settings for Heart Rate Measurement to enter your birthday, gender, and other profile information.

Be sure to properly fasten the watch to your wrist. (See Fastening the Watch to Your Wrist.)

When you start measurement of an outdoor activity such as running, go outdoors to an open space where the sky is visible.

Note

While the watch is connected with the “G-SHOCK MOVE” phone app, you can use your phone to view Activity records.

To connect to “G-SHOCK MOVE”, press the APP button on the watch face (lower button). On the screen that appears, tap “G-SHOCK MOVE” icon in the center of the screen.
For details, see Quick Recall of Main Functions (CASIO's APPS).

This section describes the measurement operations for running and other activities that are mainly performed outdoors.
For details about Workouts measurement, see Activity Measurement (Workouts).

Starting, Pausing, and Stopping an Activity Measurement

Starting an Activity Measurement Operation

Note

Display of the “DIGITAL” watch face is recommended when performing step 1 of the procedure below.

Regardless of the type of watch face you have displayed, starting an activity measurement operation switches to the “DIGITAL” activity measurement in progress screen.

  1. While a watch face is displayed, press the START button (upper button).

    2. This displays the activity measurement START screen, which shows the currently selected activity.

  3. Swipe the screen up or down until you find the activity you want, and then tap it.

  4. To start measurement, press the START button.

    5. If you are using an activity that records location information, the message “Location info being acquired...” appears at this time. Move outdoors to a location with an unobstructed view of the sky and wait there without moving until location information can be acquired.

    If a countdown appears, start the workout when the countdown reaches zero. If you want to start without waiting until the countdown reaches zero, press the START button.

    For some activities (such as Skiing), the following message appears on the display: “Standing by. To restart recording, press the GO button.”. In this case, you can start measurement by pressing the START button.

    When the measurement starts, the watch transitions to the “DIGITAL” watch face’s activity measurement in progress screen.
