LAPS AND SPLITS

LAPS AND SPLITS

The chrono (stopwatch) is used to time an event, like a race. The total time and any intermediate times may be stored and later recalled.

Normally, the watch simply displays the total running time. If you wish to view and store intermediate times (“splits”), the watch will display lap times and split times. These are illustrated in the example below for a workout consisting of four laps around a track.
