This video tutorial helps you to understand how to turn on/off Auto Lap, how to set the default distance while using Auto Lap, why it's beneficial to use the Manual Lap feature, and when it's beneficial to use it! This is for the fēnix® 6X - Pro Solar, but different models of Garmin should be more or less the same in terms of using the Auto Lap or Manual Lap Key.

Press Run Settings (Top Right Button on Your Garmin Smartwatch); Settings - Run Settings - Laps. Please select the option on Auto Lap to turn it ON or OFF.

The default is set to 1 mile and is On. The Auto Lap is excellent for automatically marking the distance you set it to use this feature (in miles or kilometers).

If the GPS data is wonky, if this Auto Lap feature goes off before the actual mile interval during a race, for example, the manual lap feature (lower right-hand button on your smartwatch) might be more beneficial to use to press this button while passing each mile marker in a race, or while watching the distance during a run, and marking it every mile manually.

To each their own!
