I tracked my workout with GPS but don’t see a map on my watch. Where can I view the routed map of my workout?
Make sure your account is synced with Google Fit to view mapped routes and long term history in the Fit app on your phone. If there’s not a map available, there could be a couple of reasons as to why:
- You chose to track an indoor activity. Since these are generally stationary, mapping is not included as part of this tracking.
- If your watch loses connection with your phone while using tethered GPS, or in the rare case you lose direct GPS connection from your watch, the ability to map the workout route may be lost for that session.
How do I take calls on my watch?
During initial setup, you should receive a prompt to set up your watch to make and receive calls. If you don’t see this prompt, check the notification drawer for Phone Setup notification to start the setup. You can also go to the Phone app on your watch, and it should launch the prompt for phone setup. Follow the instructions to enable phone functionality. If you still don’t see the prompt, you can initiate setup by opening Settings in the Phone app on your watch, tapping Troubleshooting, and following the steps there.
Once you finish setup, you can reject or receive incoming calls or place a call, directly from the watch. Please note, using your watch for calls can consume battery at a faster rate.
