A wearable training computer, comprising a global navigation satellite system, GNSS, antenna arrangement configured to provide a group of antenna configurations for receiving a GNSS signal, wherein each antenna configuration provides different radio frequency properties. The wearable training computer further comprises a measurement circuitry configured to measure performance of the GNSS antenna and a processing circuitry configured to select, based on at least an activity type of a user of the wearable training computer, a subset of the antenna configurations from the group of the antenna configurations, and further configured to select, from the subset of the antenna configurations based on the measured GNSS antenna performance, an antenna configuration for receiving the GNSS signal.
