Activity Recording Info
━━━━
Stop and Go can record your laps so you can review them later on your watch or Garmin Connect. You need to enable recording before you start the stopwatch - you will be prompted with the correct action for your watch: Press Down or Swipe Left.
When you stop the stopwatch, the app will prompt you with the buttons to press to save or discard the activity, which will also reset the stopwatch.
Recording Limitations:
• Laps can't be shorter than about 1 second
• You can't close Stop and Go without resetting the stopwatch
Note: you may occasionally see a "Failed" pop-up from your watch after saving an activity, if it fails to sync with Garmin Connect immediately. Don't worry, your laps should still be saved at this point.
