Saving swimming activity

SF over 4 years ago

I can't save my swimming activity. When I press buttons all it does is recording another lap or pauze. When I long press it gives me a screen with a green arrow which makes it go back to recording or a red cross which deletes the entire activity.

You probably do not press the upper button for saving the swimming activity long enough.

I have the same problem. Very frustrating. I can hold it down firmly for a long time and it just begins the rest phase. I am regretting buying this very pricey watch. I only purchased it because of its swim functionality.

I think you need to press the A button twice but not long press.

Same problem here. Impossible to save. It only makes laps. Endlessly.
