Memory
The watch has enough memory to hold up to 121 records for session start
information (date and time), and lap time records. You can record up to 120 lap
times.
x
Session start information (date and time) requires one record for each session. A
session is from the start of measurement up the point the stopwatch is reset.
x
Each lap time uses one record.
Example 1: Single session (from start to reset)
Start information (date and time) 120 lap time records =
121 records in total
Example 2: Multiple sessions
Session 1: Start information (date and time) 60 lap time
records = 61 records
Session 2: Start information (date and time) 59 lap time
records = 60 records
Total: 121 records
