[LC92]

Hi! I am in need of help with an issies thats started happening when starting a run from my phone. My watch face changes to heart rate monitor and therefore doesnt show distance, time as i want it to. 

Any ideas how to change the watchface whilst setting a run?

Screens and their contents are configurable. While running, swipe up and down to flip between these.

Thank you for the response. This doesn't however seem to work, is there any other ways to change this? The watch model is samsung watch 5.

I have sam issue. If you start from phone it is not configurable and watch only shows hearth rate but if you start from watch the gps is not accurate enough, Samsung needs to solve this, when i start from my watch if phone is connected gps data can come from phone and if i start from watch, i should see more datas.

Watch GPS accuracy depends on what you do before you start. Enable the "manual start" mode and wait for the GPS position to stabilize. The latest update even shows a position map right with the "Start" button, so you can give it the extra few seconds until it stops twitching.

For me, the point about having GPS (and LTE) in the Watch is so I don't have to lug the phone around during sports - and with the big improvements in GPS accuracy we got in the past two updates, it's good enough. My last 10k run was spot on each one of the official kilometer markers, give or take 20 to 30 meters max.

Having same issue. I use phone cause GPS is much more accurate than standalone watch unfortunately. Thats ok. I carry phone for music anyway. But don't want to take it out to look at running stats. Watch only shows heartrate while app running. Why not allow the watch to swipe to other screens while connected to phone? Heartrate screen is the least accurate while running anyway. Give us the ability to see pace and distance please.

Experiment. Shut off Bluetooth on my watch six. Went for a 4-mile walk with Samsung health on the phone and the watch separately. Watch measured two tenths of a mile more than the phone. Approximately 1 minute per mile difference. That's huge. Unreliable. Looking at the map it drew on both apps the watch map zigzag more than the map of the phone. Maybe it doesn't sample GPS signals as often. Have the feature of more accurate location checked to On.
