Timekeeping Mode time

The Stopwatch Mode lets you time a game or event. The upper display shows non-stop total elapsed time, while the lower display shows event elapsed time, which can be paused as required for time outs, half time, etc.

•The measurement limit of the upper display (total time) is 99 minutes 59 seconds.

•The measurement limit of the lower display (event time) is 59 minutes 59 seconds.

•A stopwatch measurement operation continues to run until you stop it. If either time reaches its measurement limit, it will restart from zero.

•A stopwatch measurement operation continues even if you exit the Stopwatch Mode.

•Starting event timing will cause the display to change to the Elapsed Time Screen from the initial screen shown on this page.

Using the Stopwatch Mode to Time a Sporting Event

You can time a sporting event with the Stopwatch Mode either with or without presetting the duration of the event. If you do, the watch will beep when the total time in the upper display reaches the preset event duration.

If the event is interrupted for timeouts or some other reason, press Dto pause and restart event time measurement in the lower display. Since total time measurement continues in the upper display, you can calculate the time that play was interrupted (lost time) by subtracting the time in the lower display from the time in the upper display.
