Stopwatch Mode

The stopwatch measures elapsed time in units of 1/100 second up to 59 minutes, 59.99 seconds (60 minutes). When the maximum limit is
reached, the elapsed time automatically returns to zero and timing continues from there.

Normally, you should never need to configure time and date settings manually if you have auto receive turned on and you are within the
range of a time calibration signal. If the watch is unable to update its settings automatically for some reason, however, you can configure
them manually as described below.
