Performing a reset will erase some user data.1 Please see Related Content for information on how to backup user data and settings before proceeding.
Learned fitness values, for advanced fitness metrics, including: VO2 max, Training Effect and more will be reset during this process. The watch will need to relearn this data after performing a reset.
