Discussion: When not to use your Forerunner

If you are going to undertake gangland hits by jogging or riding up to your target, shooting and then running or cycling away as fast as possible, I suppose you could count it as some form of training. But its probably a less than sensible idea to record it on your forerunner.

Nice post ... and thanks for warning the community ;)

On the other hand, should you find yourself stumbling upon a crime scene in the middle of a run, it could provide evidence that you'd been somewhere else in the preceding minutes/hours. (A murder which has been all over the news in Melbourne this week took place in a spot which was on a reasonably regular running route of mine from my previous residence).

I believe that an AP user from down this way, used his GPS to prove that he was a reliable witness, as his watch proved he was where he said he was

I once used gps information from my garmin to give an exact time to the police when I saw an incident happen, so it defintely works the other way too!

Does the watch have to be recording a track to get that information or is it always keeping tabs on us?

My understanding is that it needs to be explicitly told to record. It can't call home like a smartphone.
