Ascent Rate Update:This setting in the ALTITUDE SETTINGS
group determines how often the Watch calculates your ascent rate

Though not necessary to adjust before your first workout, you may
want to review and configure the speed or pace target zones (page 50),
distance alert (page 50) or additional hands-free features (page 51).
