Using the Stopwatch
Whenever you perform a lap/split time operation, the stopwatch stores a record of the lap/
split time. There is enough memory to hold up to 60 lap/split time records. For each
measurement operation, the watch also creates and store a title screen (which also takes
up one record in memory) that shows the distance and the date of the measurement.
The watch calculates the distance covered using elapsed time, based on a fixed pace.
•
In the Timekeeping Mode, press the
C
button once to enter the Stopwatch Mode.
•
For the stopwatch to be able to perform distance calculations, you need to use the
procedure under “Configuring Individual Preferences” to specify your stride length and other
information.

Lap Times and Split Times
A lap time is the time that elapses during a specific portion of the race, such as a lap around
a track, while a split time is the time that elapses from the beginning of a race up to a
certain point.
Lap Time Example
Measuring the lap time for each lap of a
track event, car race, etc.

Time Range Display Switching
When you first start an elapsed time measurement, the lower part of the display shows
hours, minutes, seconds, and 1/100 second, while the upper part shows minutes, seconds,
and 1/100 seconds. When the time in the lower part of the display reaches 10 hours, it
switches to hours, minutes, and seconds. The upper part of the display switches to hours,
minutes, and seconds when its time reaches one hour.

Memory
The watch’s memory can be divided into multiple measurement logs. Each log has its own
title screen that shows the distance and date of the measurement, which takes up one
memory record. The memory’s maximum capacity is 60 lap/split time records, plus at least
one log title screen, for a total of 61 records.
•
When memory becomes full, the watch automatically deletes old data to make room for
newly measured data.
Example 1: Memory usage when the current elapsed time measurement is the only
one in memory
Log Title 60 lap/split records = 61 records
•
An elapsed time measurement is one that runs from when the stopwatch is
started from all zeros, until it is again reset to all zeros.
Example 2: Memory usage when there are multiple elapsed time measurements in
memory
Measurement 1: Log Title 30 lap/split records = 31 records
Measurement 2: Log Title 29 lap/split records = 30 records
(31 + 30 = 61 total)
•
For information about recalling stopwatch records, see “Viewing Stopwatch Records”.
Data Save Timing
Whenever you press the
D
button to display a lap/split, the lap/split time and distance are
stored in memory. Stopping the elapsed time operation and pressing the
D
button to reset
the stopwatch to all zeros stores the final distance in memory.
Memory Full
Storing data when memory is full automatically deletes the oldest record currently in
memory to make room for the new data.
Example 1: When the current log is the only one in memory
Recording a new lap/split record while memory is full causes the oldest lap/
split time currently in memory to be deleted to make room for the new one.
Example 2: When there are multiple records or logs in memory
All of the records of the oldest stopwatch log are cleared to make room for
the new data.
•
To clear memory data manually, see “To clear measurement log data”.
Viewing Stopwatch Records
Enter the Recall Mode when you want to view stopwatch records.
•
In the Timekeeping Mode, press the
C
button twice to enter the Recall Mode.
Entering the Recall Mode displays a title screen showing the number of the newest
