							Chronograph 
The chronograph will time your workout session. During your event,
recording laps/splits will give you real-time feedback to pace yourself and
allow you to adjust your speed to meet your overall time goal.
Lap/Split
Lap is the time to complete an individual segment of your workout. Split
is the cumulative time from the beginning to that specific point in your
workout. Below is an example of a 4-mile run. The runner records
laps/splits every mile.
Lap/Split chart
This watch records up to 100 hours and counts up to 199 laps. It stores

Target Time Pacer
Because pace is important to achieve your goals, a built-in audible track-
er indicates whether your target lap times are achieved. Rise above or fall
below your predetermined target times, and varying chimes and mes-
sages will provide feedback. Slow beeps indicate you’re behind pace
(SLOW), a single beep lets you know you’re on pace (ON-PACE) and rapid
beeps tell you are ahead (FAST). The screen will also display your per-
formance data.

Display.
