1. Tap the “Lap” button on the bottom right of your watch. This will bring up the lap summary screen.
2. Tap the “Stop” button at the bottom of the screen.

The Power of the “Back” Button

If you’re navigating through different screens during your run, you can also use the Back button to stop your run.
1. Press the Back button located on the bottom left of your watch. This will take you back to the previous screen.
2. Continue pressing the Back button until you reach the “Stop Run” prompt.

1. Press the “Lap” button on the bottom right of your watch to view the lap summary.
2. Tap the “Stop” button at the bottom of the screen.
3. Select “Yes” to confirm you want to end the run.
