HRM settings
Prior to configuring your heart rate settings, refer to Heart Zones¨ Tools for Success for information on the importance of tracking your heart rate and how to determine your maximum heart rate. Then, configure the following heart rate settings:
TZ Zone and Alert: You may select from one of five preset heart rate zones (labeled Z1 to Z5) or three custom heart rate zones (labeled C1 to C3). You may also choose to have the Watch either alert you or not if your heart rate goes outside of your target zone. Options for alerts include NO ALRT, AUDIBLE, or SILENT. NO ALRT turns off the alert completely, SILENT warns you with a visual indication (an up or down arrow on the Watch display) if you go above or below your target heart rate zone, and AUDIBLE combines a warning melody to the visual alert. You will hear an ascending melody if you go above your zone and a descending melody if you go below your zone.
Custom Zones: You may set the upper and lower target zone number or percentage (depending on how you choose to show your heart rate) for up to three custom heart rate zones, labeled CUSTOM 1, CUSTOM 2, and CUSTOM 3.
Recovery: This setting determines how the Watch automatically calculates a recovery heart rate when you stop the chronograph. You can set the recovery time to one minute, two minutes, or off.
This helps you determine how quickly your heart rate returns to a

lower heart rate value at the end of your activity; the quicker you return, the better your fitness level.
Selecting OFF will prevent the Watch from automatically calculating a recovery heart rate when you stop the chronograph. You may still manually calculate your recovery rate in Summary Mode, set to one minute if you select OFF in Configure Mode.
Max heart rate: Enter your Maximum Heart Rate. The Watch uses this value to calculate the five preset heart rate zones and serves as a reference for displaying your heart rate as a percent of your maximum heart rate (PERCENT).
Heart rate display: You can set the Watch to display your heart rate as either a percentage of your maximum heart rate (PERCENT) or in beats per minute (BPM). The setting you choose will determine how your heart rate displays in all other Watch settings.
Hands-Free settings
Auto Split: This feature enables the chronograph to automatically take splits based on a time you determine. For instance, you can configure the Watch to take a split every 10 minutes.
