Chronograph Mode tips & tricks

➤If you press MODE to switch the Watch to a different mode while the chronograph continues to run, the stopwatch icon will appear to indicate the chronograph still operates.

➤If you use the Watch with the HR Sensor you can set it to automatically begin taking a heart rate recovery calculation each time you press STOP/RESET to stop the chronograph. However, if you press START/SPLIT again before the recovery cycle has completed, you will cancel the recovery. For more information, refer to “Recovery” on page 58.

Chronograph Mode example

Recently you heard that a training method for long distance runners called the run/walk method can help increase your overall endurance and burn more calories. This method calls for running for a period of time followed by a short period of walking. You decide to use Chronograph Mode to help you try this method. You press START/SPLIT when you begin running and then after 10 minutes of running you press START/SPLIT again and walk for 2 minutes. You continue using these two sequences until you have completed a 60 minute run/walk.

Vertical Mode

Vertical Mode operates as a viewing mode in conjunction with the GPS-3D Sensor with a focus on displaying information about altitude. In particular, Vertical Mode tailors the Watch to allow you to view data related to vertical activities (for example, climbing or skiing). If you do not use the GPS-3D Sensor, you will see the message NO GPS DATA and you cannot enter Vertical Mode.
