How to track and view exercise information on your Gear IconX buds
Want to know how fast you ran, or how long you kept up those sprints? You can record and save exercise information, such as activity duration and speed, right on your Gear IconX buds. Then, you can view your workout information via the Galaxy Wearable and Samsung Health apps on your connected phone.
How to track and view exercise information on your Gear IconX buds
Start and control a workout
Once you begin a workout, your Gear IconX will start tracking your movements. You can also control the workout from your buds!
Start a workout
Insert both Gear IconX earbuds into your ears, and then touch and hold the touchpads. Then, release them when you hear "Start workout with pace setter." Begin working out when you hear four beeps followed by "Workout started."
Controls during a workout
After your workout has started, there are additional options you can choose from. Touch and hold the bud's touchpad and release it once you hear your desired choice.
Here are the available options:
- Workout details: To listen to the recorded exercise information, touch and hold the touchpad, and then release it when you hear “workout details.” You can select the types of information to be played in the Exercise audio guide option.
- Ambient sound turned on: To listen to your surroundings during your workout, touch and hold the touchpad, and then release it when you hear “Ambient sound." You will hear “Ambient sound mode turns on” when it activates. You can also use the Galaxy Wearable app to turn on Ambient sound mode.
- Finish workout: To complete your workout, touch and hold the touchpad, and then release it when you hear “Finish workout.”
- Workout resumed: If the heart rate sensor does not make contact with your ear, the Gear IconX earbuds may stop working. Remove the buds from your ears, and insert them again within 20 minutes. When you hear "Workout resumed" or "Workout mode starts again," then you can start your workout again.
Note: You can also set up an audio coach on the earbuds that will help you record exercise information when you're working out.
Set the main exercise earbud
The right Gear IconX earbud is set as the main earbud by default. This means it will be used to track all of your workouts. However, you can change the main earbud to the left if you prefer.
- Navigate to and open the Galaxy Wearable app, and then tap the SETTINGS tab.
- Tap Exercise, and then tap Exercise earbud.
- Select whether the Left or Right earbud will track your exercise. All workout data will now be tracked using the selected earbud.
Note: After setting the main earbud, the Gear IconX earbuds may not automatically connect to your phone. If this happens, place the earbuds in pairing mode to reconnect them to your phone manually.
Start a workout with the Samsung Health app
If desired, you can start exercising with the Samsung Health app.
- Insert both Gear IconX earbuds into your ears, and then open the Samsung Health app. Tap the Exercise widget, and then select your desired type of exercise.
- When you're ready, tap Start.
- Once you have finished your workout, tap Pause, and then tap Stop. The Gear IconX earbuds will stop recording the exercise information and the workout results will be displayed.
Note: The Gear IconX touchpad commands may not work when starting a workout from the Samsung Health app.
View your exercise information
After a good workout, you’ll want to know how you did. The Gear IconX sends exercise details to the Galaxy Wearable and Samsung Health apps on your phone, so you can view them later.
To view your exercise routine, open the Galaxy Wearable app on your phone, and then tap the INFO tab. Your last exercise routine will be displayed at the bottom of the screen.
To view exercises from the last 30 days, tap OPEN SAMSUNG HEALTH, and then tap Recent workouts inside the Exercise widget. Select an exercise to view specific details about it.
Listen to music during a workout
Did you know you can store up to 1,000 songs on your Gear IconX earbuds? Once you transfer your music through the Galaxy Wearable app, you can control songs using the buds themselves, so you can listen to all those songs without a phone or computer in sight.
Here are the different controls you can use:
- Play or pause a song: Tap the touchpad once.
- Skip to the next song: Tap the touchpad two times.
- Return to the previous song: Tap the touchpad three times.
- Adjust the volumes of songs: Drag your finger up or down on the touchpad.
