Unit settings: Unit settings allow you to determine distance (for example miles versus kilometers) and heart rate (beats versus percentage) display units.

S+D settings

Configure the following speed and distance settings:

Zone Type: Similar in concept to a heart rate target zone alert, you can set the Watch to track your speed or your pace and to alert you if you move too slowly or too quickly (alert types include an audible alert that beeps or a silent alert that flashes). You can set speed and pace limits independently. For instance, set pace limits to control pace for your run and set speed limits to values useful for cycling. Then simply switch between the settings for each activity.

Distance Alert: Set the Watch to alert you for distance intervals. For example, you can set the Watch to alert you for every mile you travel. The distance alert will only function when you run the chronograph. If you would like the Watch to take a split based on distance traveled, refer to the Hands-Free Settings on page 52.

Smoothing: Smoothing is useful if you feel that the displayed speed or pace values appear to be too erratic. Smoothing applies an averaging filter and may cause the displayed speed or pace values to respond more slowly to changes.

Speed Smoothing: Turn speed smoothing off or on.

Pace Smoothing: Turn pace smoothing off or on.

Altitude settings

Smoothing: Smoothing is useful if you feel that the displayed altitude value appears to be too erratic. Smoothing applies an averaging filter and may cause the displayed altitude value to respond more slowly to changes. You can turn altitude smoothing off or on.

Update Ascent Rate: Set the Watch to update the period at which the ascent rate is calculated. You can choose intervals of 30 seconds, or 1, 10, 30, or 60 minutes. Set this feature shorter for faster vertical activities such as skiing or longer for slower vertical activities such as climbing.

Hands-Free settings

In addition to Auto Split, you can use the Watch to set other hands-free settings when used in conjunction with the GPS-3D Sensor. Even when enabled, you can still start and stop the chronograph manually without affecting the hands-free operation.

Auto Start: This feature enables the chronograph to start when you start moving. It may take a few seconds for the GPS-3D Sensor to detect movement, causing a slight delay in start time.

Auto Stop: This feature enables the chronograph to stop when you stop moving. It may take a few seconds for the GPS-3D Sensor to detect that you have stopped moving, causing a slight delay in stop time.

Auto Split: This feature enables the chronograph to take splits automatically according to the distance traveled. For example, if
