Basic Timer Mode tips & tricks

➤You can press MODE within Timer Mode to switch the display to another mode without disrupting the operation of the timer. The timer icon will appear indicating timer operation.

➤The timer will only switch to Chronograph, Vertical, or Finish Mode if you reset the chronograph to zero and turn off Sync Timer & Chrono (see “Hands-free settings” on page 60).

Basic Timer Mode example

As part of your overall health plan, you decide to take a 30-minute walk during your lunch hour two times a week. To help keep track of time so you do not return late from your lunch hour, you set the timer to 15 minutes and then set it to repeat one time. After 15 minutes the Watch beeps telling you to begin walking back to your office. Since you set the timer to repeat, the Watch begins timing another 15 minute session helping you track how much time you have to return to your office.

Alarm Mode

You can use your Watch as an alarm clock for up to five separate alarms. When you set an alarm, the alarm clock icon appears in Time of Day Mode. You can set an alarm to ring at the same time every day, or only weekdays, weekends, or even

only one time (useful for appointment reminders).

When the Watch reaches a scheduled alarm, the alarm tone sounds and the INDIGLO® night-light flashes for a period of

20 seconds. You can silence the alarm during this period by pressing any button on the Watch, or, if you do not silence the alarm before the alert finishes, a backup alarm will sound after five minutes.
