# Logging a Workout on Your Garmin Watch
> Log sets, rest, and finish a Kilo workout from your Garmin watch.
Use this guide to run a full workout from your wrist: open exercises, enter reps and weight, rest between sets, and save. If your watch is not set up yet, start with [Getting Started with Kilo + Garmin](/help/getting-started).
## Watch controls
Kilo is built for touch. On watches with buttons, you can also use these:
| Control | What it does |
| - | - |
| **Tap** | Open an exercise or set, change a value, or tap an on-screen button. |
| **Swipe up or down** | Scroll a list. |
| **Up** / **Down** | Move through a list. |
| **Start** | Open the selected item in a list. |
| **Back** | Go back one screen. On the rest timer, skip the rest. On the exercise list, end the workout. |
To enter reps and weight, use the touchscreen. On touchscreen watches, the lists do not highlight the item that **Up** and **Down** select, so tapping is easier.
The watch app has no settings of its own. Targets, rest times, and the weight unit come from your routine on the phone.
## 1. Start the workout
Launch Kilo on your watch. It shows **Waiting for phone routine**.
On your phone, open the routine, tap **Start Workout**, then choose **Start on Watch**.
The watch shows the exercise list and starts recording a Garmin **Strength Workout** activity.
## 2. Log your sets
1. Tap an exercise. The number on the right shows sets done out of sets planned.
2. Tap a set. Each row shows the planned reps × weight.
To do an extra set, scroll down and tap **+ Add Set**.
The set screen shows the set number, your live heart rate, and the planned reps and weight.
1. Tap the reps box or the weight box. A keypad opens.
2. Type the new value. The first key you press replaces the old value. Tap **DEL** to delete a digit.
3. Tap **OK**. To close the keypad without a change, press **Back**.
Weight rounds to the nearest 0.25. For example, 62.3 becomes 62.25. Reps are whole numbers from 0 to 99.
1. Optional: if you see **prev:** in blue, tap it. Kilo copies the reps and weight from your last session.
2. Tap **DONE**.
The rest timer starts.
To leave the set without saving it, press **Back**.
The timer counts down from the rest time in your routine. Below it, Kilo shows what comes next, for example **Next Set: 8 × 60 kg** or **Next: Barbell Row**.
* Tap **+30** to add 30 seconds.
* Tap **SKIP**, or press **Back**, to end the rest early.
The countdown turns yellow at 30 seconds and red at 10 seconds. At zero, the watch vibrates and opens your next set.
Logged sets show a green tick with the reps and weight you logged. After the last set, the watch returns to the set list. Press **Back** to go to the exercise list, then tap the next exercise.
In the exercise list, the count is grey before you start, blue while in progress, and green when all sets are done.
To fix a logged set, tap it, change the values, and tap **DONE**. The rest timer does not start for an edit.
## Mark warm-up, drop, and failure sets
On the set screen, tap the top line (for example **Set 2/3**) to change the set type. Each tap moves to the next type:
**Set** (normal) → **W** (warm-up) → **D** (drop set) → **F** (failure) → **Set**
Set types that you add to the routine on your phone show on the watch automatically. The rest timer does not start when the next set is a drop set.
## Supersets
Create supersets in the phone routine editor: long-press an exercise, tap **Select for superset**, select the other exercises, then tap **Create Superset**. On the watch, exercises in a superset have a coloured bar in the same colour as on the phone.
* When you save a set, the watch opens the next exercise in the superset. There is no rest between them.
* After the last exercise in the superset, the rest timer starts and shows the first exercise as **Next**.
* After the rest, the watch opens the first exercise again. Tap the next set to continue.
## Program workouts
When you start a program session on the watch, the line under the set number shows your program target instead of **prev:**. This line is for information only. You cannot tap it. See [How Auto-Progression Works](/help/how-auto-progression-works).
## 3. Finish the workout
Go to the exercise list and press **Back**.
| Option | What it does |
| - | - |
| **Save** | Sends any sets the phone has not received yet, then saves the workout and the Strength Workout activity. |
| **Discard** | Deletes the workout and the activity. |
| **Resume** | Goes back to your workout. |
After you save, the watch shows a summary: total volume, exercises, sets, time, average heart rate, and calories. Press **Back** to close it. If you logged no sets, the watch skips the summary.
The workout is in Kilo on your phone.
## Quick fixes
A workout is already running on the watch. Save or discard it, then send the routine again.
It shows only when you have logged that exercise in Kilo before. Program workouts show a target instead.
This is expected after you edit a logged set, before a drop set, and between exercises in a superset. To change rest times, open the routine editor on your phone and tap the **REST** chip.
On your phone, go to **Settings** → **WORKOUT** → **Display Units**. Then send the routine to your watch again.
The heart rate shows only when the watch has a reading. Wear the watch snugly above your wrist bone.
Keep your phone nearby with Garmin Connect running, then tap **Retry**. If it still fails, tap **Save**. Unsent sets stay on the watch.
## Next steps
Follow a multi-week plan and log each session from your watch.
