Miles not showing up when using timer

[grab68]

Went on two runs, one yesterday (roughly 5K), one today (roughly 10K).

Normally, I don't bother using the timer but, wanted accurate time readings due to the runs involving stop/starts due to traffic lights etc. I don't take my phone to track the GPS, as I'd have to carry it in my hand and I don't want to do that.

However, the logs aren't showing the miles/distances ran.

Is this because I've used the timer? Or is there a setting I need to change?

I tried updating in the log section but to no avail.

Any help would be appreciated.

@grab68 unfortunately Blaze does not allow Exercise and Timer to operate simultaneously, unlike other sport watches, multi-sport watches or smartwatches you may have used.

The timer is not used to track your walks.
The run that showed up was aito detected and will not show miles.
My suggestion would be to try the manual run mode, without the phone, but before you start the run, tap settings and turn if yhe GPS. You will then be able to pause when you want.

@grab68 try what @Rich_Laue wrote (I fixed the typos).

That should accomplish what you want, I believe the Blaze has auto-pause for runs (Surge supports it) but perhaps it only works with Connected GPS? Not sure.
