■ How to mount the watch on the boat
The watch should be firmly attached to the boat to ensure the proper operation of the app. The watch should not shift or rotate relative to the boat when you paddle. A good place to mount it in a canoe is the crossbar. If you are a kayak paddler, it is advisable to use a watch mount. They are usually attached to the boat with suction cups.
It is not recommended to mount the watch to the footrest strap of the surfskis. However, if you do not have a better option, the strap should be tightened as much as possible over your feet.
■ Watch orientation
If the watch is used in a kayak mounted on a watch stand, its orientation is 'vertical'. If the watch is mounted on the crossbar of a canoe, the orientation of the device is 'horizontal'. The default value of this configuration parameter is 'vertical'. So, you may have to change it before starting a workout in a canoe.
