Data Displayed During Measurement Operations
Note the points below concerning the data displayed while a measurement operation is in progress.
- For information about procedures to calibrate the barometric pressure and altitude values displayed by the Activity app to make them more accurate, read “Common Outdoor Function Settings” and then refer to the following items: “Barometric Pressure Calibration”, “Altitude Calibration”, and “Correct Altitude Using Location”.
- Since speed and distance traveled are measured using the watch’s or your smartphone’s GPS function, location measurement error may result in measured value error.
- Speed and distance are calculated at regular intervals, so there may be some lag before values are displayed.
- Hyphens (-) are displayed in place of the speed and distance readings when the watch is unable to acquire location information (GPS).
