Thank you, but the watch is not responding as I (and you) would expect.


When I select the three dots, then "Open," the watch goes directly to the pool length and "START," with no other options (other than choosing meters or yards).

If I use the three dots and choose "Distance" the watch goes to the previous workout distance.

Backing up, when I select "Workout," the other workouts have "Open Goal" underneath the particular workout (Indoor cycle, outdoor run, etc.), the "Pool Swim" shows a blue "765 YD" underneath and I cannot find how to adjust it.

Thank you for taking the time to respond.


Again, the watch is not responding as I (and you) would expect.

I am unable to change the distance goal. It is stuck on "765 YD," and I cannot access a mode that allows me to change the distance goal.

My internet connection is pathetic. I'm unable to upload the other screen shot.

Here's what you WOULD have seen

After selecting the three dots

The screen with Open Calories Distance and Time

Selecting Distance, I get a blue/black screen with the plus and minus, but the display shows the previous workout, not a goal.

Nevertheless, I select the goal for this swim = 2,000 yards

Select "Next"

Select pool length = 25 yd

Start

Finish workout

Workout display Pool Swim shows 765 YD (again or still)

and the workout statistics show relative to 765 yards, not 2,000 yards.
