The stopwatch lets you measure elapsed time, split times, and two finishes.

•A display range of the stopwatch is 23 hours, 59 minutes, 59.99 seconds.

•A stopwatch continues to run, restarting from zero after it reaches its limit, until you stop it.

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

•Exiting the Stopwatch Mode while a split time is frozen on the display clears the split time and returns to elapsed time measurement.

•All of the operations in this section are performed in the Stopwatch Mode, which you enter by pressing C.

•The seconds count of the World Time is synchronized with the seconds count of the Timekeeping Mode.

•All World Time Mode times are calculated from the current Home City Time in the Timekeeping Mode using UTC time offset values.

•The UTC offset is a value that indicates the time difference between a reference point in Greenwich, England and the time zone where a city is located.

•The letters “UTC” is the abbreviation for “Coordinated Universal Time”, which is the world-wide scientific standard of timekeeping. It is based upon carefully maintained atomic (cesium) clocks that keep time accurately to within microseconds. Leap seconds are added or subtracted as necessary to keep UTC in sync with the Earth’s rotation.

any operation, it automatically changes to the Timekeeping Mode.

• If you leave a screen with flashing digits on the display for two or three minutes

without performing any operation, the watch automatically exits the setting screen.

Scrolling

The B and D buttons are used in various modes and setting screens to scroll through data on the display. In most cases, holding down these buttons during a scroll operation scrolls at high speed.

Initial Screens

When you enter the World Time or Alarm Mode, the data you were viewing when you last exited the mode appears first.

Timekeeping

•Resetting the seconds to 00 while the current count is in the range of 30 to 59 causes the minutes to be increased by 1. In the range of 00 to 29, the seconds are reset to 00 without changing the minutes.

•The year can be set in the range of 2000 to 2099.

•The watch’s built-in full automatic calendar makes allowances for different month lengths and leap years. Once you set the date, there should be no reason to change it except after you have the watch’s battery replaced.

•Based on data as of December 2008.

•The rules governing global times (UTC offset and GMT differential) and summer time are determined by each individual country.
