Lap Time
Lap time readings appear in the left digital dial. They show
the time elapsed since the last lap time reading was
taken.
•
If you want the watch to calculate the speed of each lap
(when all of the laps are the same distance), specify the
lap distance for the distance setting (page E-15).
•
If you want the watch to calculate the speed of the entire
race, specify the race distance for the distance setting
(page E-15). A speed will be indicated each time you
take a lap reading, but these lap speeds will not indicate
actual speed of the entire race.
To set up the stopwatch to take lap time readings

•
If you need to reset the stopwatch to all zeros, press
A

World Time
World Time digitally displays the current time in one of
48 cities (29 time zones) around the world. A simple
operation swaps your Home City with the currently
selected World Time City.
•
The times kept in the World Time Mode are
synchronized with the time being kept in the
Timekeeping Mode. If you feel that there is an error in
any World Time Mode time, check to make sure you
have the correct city selected as your Home City. Also
check to make sure that the current time as shown in
the Timekeeping Mode is correct.
•
Times in the World Time Mode are based on UTC
offsets. See the “City Code Table” at the back of this
manual for information about the UTC offsets that are
supported.
•
All of the operations in this section are performed in the World Time Mode, which
you enter by pressing
