Introducing Your Watch

Congratulations on your purchase of the Timex® Marathon® GPS watch. As a serious road runner, you’ll appreciate the accurate speed, pace, and other data the watch provides you. The watch’s GPS technology finds satellites from almost anywhere in the world so you have the information you need to train efficiently.

Features

GPS – Obtain fixes on satellites to provide workout data. Your speed, distance, and pace are determined based on how your position changes relative to the satellites. Set the time zone using the GPS.

Run mode – Track data during workouts. View your workout data while a workout is in progress, and save data for later review. Freely switch between Run and Chrono modes while the timer is running.

Chrono mode – Take splits during workouts, and save lap data for later review.

Workout review – Save workouts to memory for review when the timer is reset. Store more than 20 hours of workout data. View all data tracked for the entire workout, as well as data for individual laps.

Hands-free auto-lap – Automatically take a split when you reach one of 6 selectable distances.

Alarm – Set up to 5 alarms that will sound at your specified time each day.

Indiglo® night-light with Night-Mode® feature – Press a button to light the watch face for 10 seconds.

Before you use the watch for the first time, charge the battery for at least 4 hours.

Getting Started

Setting the Time

You can set time for two time zones. The time is set by the GPS, but you choose the time zone (GMT offset), daylight saving (ON or OFF), time format (12or 24-hour), and date format (month-day or day-month).

NOTE: The GMT offset is the number of hours difference between your time zone and Greenwich Mean Time. Each GMT offset is listed with the abbreviated name of a major city in that time zone (for example, London is displayed as LON). If you do not know your GMT offset, find your city or a nearby one in Time Zones.

5.Press + or - to select your time zone, then press OK.
