Stopwatch
The stopwatch lets you measure elapsed time, lap times,
split times, and two finishes. Lap times and split times can
be stored in memory.
•
The display range of the stopwatch is 99 hours,
59 minutes, 59 seconds.
•
All of the operations in this section are performed in the
Stopwatch Mode, which you enter by pressing
C
(page
E-6).
Note
•
“Lap time” is the time spent to cover a specific segment
of a race, such as one lap around a track. “Split time” is
the time spent from the beginning of a race up to a
certain point.
•
The stopwatch continues to run, restarting from zero
after it reaches its limit, until you stop it.

For information about how stopwatch times are stored in memory, see “Memory
Management” (page E-19).
Viewing the Stopwatch Displays
The information that appears in the watch’s upper and lower displays depends on
whether you are measuring lap times or split times.
Lap Time Measurement
Upper Display: Lap time
Lower Display: Elapsed time
Split Time Measurement
Upper Display: Lap time
Lower Display: Elapsed time (Split time appears here for eight seconds as it is stored
in memory.)
•
See “To measure elapsed time with lap times” (page E-15) and “To measure elapsed
time with split times” (page E-17) for more information about each type of measurement.
E-14
•
You can perform elapsed time measurement starting from either the lap time screen
or the split time screen (page E-15 and E-17). Whenever you enter the Stopwatch
Mode, the screen (lap time or split time) that was displayed when you last exited the
mode will appear first.
•
During a stopwatch elapsed time operation, the upper display initially shows
minutes, seconds, and a 1/100-second value. This changes to hours, minutes, and
seconds when the time in the upper display exceeds 60 minutes.
•
The lower display initially shows hours, minutes, seconds, and a 1/100-second
value. This changes to hours, minutes, and seconds when the time in the lower
display exceeds 10 hours.

Memory Management
A new log is created each time you press
D
in the Stopwatch Mode to start a new
elapsed time measurement operation. A log contains a log title screen, and records of
all the lap or split times you record during the current elapsed time measurement
operation.
•
The capacity of the watch’s memory is 60 records.
•
If you are adding records to the only log in memory and watch memory becomes
full, adding another record causes the oldest record in the log to be deleted
automatically to make room for the new record.
•
If you are adding records to a log when there are multiple logs in memory and watch
memory becomes full, adding another record causes the oldest log in memory and
all of its records to be deleted automatically to make room for new records.
