Auto pause and alerts

Updated November 10, 2026

Auto pause and the alerts during the run are on the watch. On the phone, pausing is manual.

Auto pause

  1. On the watch, open Stamina and go to the page on the left, Settings. During a run, it's also in the controls, under “Settings”.
  2. Under “Auto pause”, turn on “Running”.

It's off by default. When it's on, the run pauses when you stop moving for a few seconds and shows “Auto-paused”. It resumes on its own when you start moving. What you do while paused doesn't count toward distance, pace or splits.

Hydration alerts

When you start, the watch asks “Carrying water or gels?”. If you say yes and select what you're carrying, during the run it suggests taking water, a gel or salts. With “No”, there are no alerts. You turn them off with “Workout alerts”.

Encouragement

On runs started on the watch, short encouraging phrases appear when the run gets tough. They go away on their own or with a tap. You turn them off with “Encouragement”, in the run's Settings.

On the phone

The plan's notifications are in Profile › Settings › Notifications: “Today's plan”, “Reminder to get ready” (from 5 to 60 minutes before) and “Heat”, which lets you know in the morning if the forecast for your training time is 30 °C or more.
