Unit settings

Mode hiding: You can choose to show or disable the following

modes: Interval, Lap Data, Summary, Timer, or Alarm. For example, if you disable Lap Data Mode it will not show up at all until you enable it again from Configure Mode. You can also choose to show, hide, or disable Vertical Mode or Finish Mode.

Data hiding: You can choose to show or hide blank data from the Fitness Sensors. For instance, if you do not use the HR Sensor for your workout and you choose to hide blank HR Sensor data, you will not see any information related to heart rate since this data relies on the use of the HR Sensor.

Unit settings

Configure the following unit settings:

Distance: Set the Watch to display distance in terms of miles, kilometers (KM), or nautical miles (NM).

Speed: Set the Watch to display speed in terms of miles per hour (MPH), kilometers per hour (KPH), nautical miles (NM), or auto.

Pace: Set the Watch to display pace in terms of miles (MPH), kilometers (KPH), nautical miles (NM), or auto.

Altitude: Set the Watch to display altitude in terms of feet, meters, or auto.

In unit settings you can set speed, pace, and altitude to any unit independently or to the default auto setting. When set to auto, each setting automatically follows the distance unit setting. This allows you to quickly change units for all your data displays without having to adjust every setting every time, yet allows flexibility for certain situations.

For example, a runner typically chooses kilometers for her unit settings. However, when running a marathon, she changes her distance unit to miles (a marathon is always 26.2 miles), but she chooses the kilometers unit setting for pace. During the marathon, the runner can view her distance in miles to match the course markers of the race, but she can view her pace in the more familiar minutes per kilometers for a greater understanding of how quickly she is running.
