Timex Helix manual Chronograph Stopwatch

Standard vs. 24-hour Time

Depending on your societal conditioning, you think of a day as two 12-hour blocks or one giant 24-hour slab. As

long as your watch is in TIME mode, we've got all of you covered. A. Pull the crown out to Position 3. SET TIME appears.

B. Press either the start/split or stop/reset buttons to switch between 12 and

24-hour formats. Everyone happy?

Setting Time and Date in a Second Time Zone

Want to know what time your brother is having breakfast in Anchorage? Or how about when that satellite launches from Russia? Then, my friend, this is the mode for you!

A. To set the time for a second time zone (T-2), while in TIME mode press and hold the stop/reset button for four seconds, until an audible beep is heard. Ignore all inaudible beeps. B. Set time and date as you did in the TIME/DATE section — with all those beautiful turns, rotations, and toggles.

C. Switch back to T-1 by holding the stop/reset button for four seconds.

D. From now on, if you want to “peek” at the other time zone, press and briefly hold the stop/reset button. It's that easy!

E. To make T-2 the default, press and hold the stop/reset button for four whole seconds. Keep in mind the time zone (T-1 or T-2) you choose as the default will effect how all other modes display time.

In case you were wondering, a second time zone can also have a second format (i.e., DD vs. DM).

CHRONOGRAPH (Stopwatch)

(ABT, DM, WRKS)

Rotate the crown until you get to CHRONOGRAPH mode. Time of day is always displayed in this mode.

Timing an Event

A. Find something to time. A marathon, the walk to the toilet,

or how long

it takes you to read this inane gibberish.

Press the start/split button. A flashing stopwatch icon (see Figure 2) indicates that running time has begun.

B. To pause running time, press the stop/reset button.

C. To resume timing, press the start/split button again. There it goes. D. To reset running time to 00.00.00, press and hold the stop/reset button.

Recording Split Times

ATTENTION: THIS IS PRETTY NEAT, RIGHT HERE.

While the chronograph is running, press the start/split button. For ten seconds and ten seconds only, the display will show segment number, lap time, and split time of the segment just completed. After a ten-second interval, the display will continue to show the number of current segment, lap time, and split time. This does not hurt the watch because watches feel no pain.

Reviewing Split Times

“What just happened and how long did it take?” you might ask yourself.

A. To get an answer, pull the crown out to Position 3. The word RECALL will appear. The display will show segment number, lap time, and split time.

B. If you rotate the crown, you can view the segments in ascending or descending order. NOTE: Sorry, you can't view segments that are currently in progress.

MEMO: If you try to review info and no split times have been taken, RECALL will be replaced by NO DATA. Don't worry, it's nothing personal.

Customizing the View

Depending on your preferences, we allow you to view split times in two different modes: lap over split, or vice versa. Whatever floats your boat,

you know?

A. To toggle between the two, pull the crown out to Position 4. SET FORMAT will appear on the display

for a second and then effortlessly
