Hello

As far as I understand, the Surge should recognize auto excersize, such as outdoor biking (which I set to 10 min).

2 questions:

10 mins. means that under this activity time, it won't be auto recognized?

second, if I select nothing when I go out cycling (meaning, leave it on auto recognized), what should I see when I finish 2 hours riding?

It doesn't use gps, so distance is not recorded, I'll see my heartbeat... what else?

Thanks

Nitzan

Welcome to the Community @nitzi!  It seems you're talking about SmartTrack feature.  Yes your Surge  will start to count your activity, in this case outdoor cycling after 10 minutes, rest assured that the first 10 minutes will be included on the count. 

 

SmartTrack doesn't record GPS nor heart rate. If you want to get this data, you  can put your Surge on Biking mode and then check your activities on your Dashboard. 

 

Let me know if you have more questions.
