How to track exercise and riding transportation all at the same time? Possible?

1. I plan to run or walk and when I catch a transportation, do I pause and resume later?

2. Can I include transportation? That would mess up my calories.

Whats the proper way of doing this?

I love my Fenix 5.

    There are 3 ways of doing this:
    1. Just pausing and then resuming when you get off the transportation.
    2. Pausing and then resuming later. There have been some problems with using navigation and the Resume Later option, although I think this has been fixed with the 2.96 beta firmware update.
    3. Ending the activity, then starting a new one when you get off the transportation. This goes through the process of getting a new HR and GPS fix.

    Any of the 3 would be OK. 1 is simplest, 2 & 3 allow you to use the watch functionality (ie. widgets) in the meantime. If you are changing activities eg. RUN from home to catch transportation, then WALK from the transportation to your workplace, then you should be using option 3.

    No, you shouldn't include the transportation - you are right that this would mess up the calories and speed.
  • I think you have to record each part of the exercise as a different activity if your transportation does start and finish in the same place. That's what I would do
