Watch terminology
The following terms appear throughout this manual. Knowing these
terms will provide you a greater understanding of the information
provided.
Bodylink® System: The Bodylink System allows you to track realtime data by using Fitness Sensors in conjunction with your
Performance Watch.
Fitness Sensors: The Bodylink System includes two digital
sensors: the Heart Rate Sensor and the Speed + Distance Sensor.
Performance Watch: The Performance Watch, (Watch) houses the
data center for the Bodylink System.
Speed + Distance Sensor: The Speed + Distance Sensor (GPS3D Sensor) tracks speed, pace, distance traveled, altitude, location,
and more, using GPS based technology. The Fitness Sensor User
Guide provides detailed instructions for setting up and using your
GPS-3D Sensor.
PERFORMANCE WATCH OVERVIEW
10
GPS: The GPS-3D Sensor uses information gathered from global
positioning satellites (GPS) to calculate your speed, distance, and
elevation, and to track your movements.
Heart Rate Sensor: The Heart Rate Sensor (HR Sensor)
measures your heart rate. The Fitness Sensor User Guide
provides detailed information for setting up and using your HR
Sensor.
The chronograph
As you use this manual to learn about your Watch, the word
chronograph can potentially cause some confusion. Try to
remember this: a chronograph is a tool for measuring time.
So, you will notice a Chronograph Mode, but Vertical and Finish
Modes also operate from the chronograph. Any time your Watch
functions as a timing tool, it operates using chronograph (or timing)
functionality.

open areas (such as an area without a lot of tree or cloud cover)
and at quicker speeds.
v
NO DATA FROM HRM (GPS) The Watch is not receiving data
from the HR or the GPS-3D Sensor. Ensure that the Sensor is not
more than 3 feet (1 meter) away from the Watch, is operating, or
has not inadvertently locked onto someone else’s Sensor. The
Watch will attempt to establish a connection for one minute after
this message displays.
v
NOISY DATA FROM HRM (GPS) The Watch is experiencing
radio interference. Try to move away from any potential sources
of interference (for example, televisions, monitors, or motorized
devices). The Watch will attempt to establish a connection for 30
seconds after this message displays.

does offer some flexibility of use. For example:
v
You can use your Watch without either of the Fitness Sensors to
view time Time of Day Mode, as an alarm in Alarm Mode, or to
time a workout in any of the chronograph modes.
v
You can use your Watch with only the HR Sensor in any of the
chronograph modes to track heart rate and time information.
v
You can use your Watch with the GPS-3D Sensor in any of the
navigational modes to track distance information. Or, you can use
this Sensor in any of the chronograph modes to track distance
information.
18
Time of Day Mode
Time of Day Mode terminology
UTC: Universal Time, Coordinated (formerly known as GMT)
describes the local time zone in relationship to the Greenwich
Meridian. For example, New York City is in the -5 UTC zone, since
New York is five hours earlier than Greenwich Meridian; Moscow
is +3 UTC, since it is three hours later than Greenwich Meridian.
Time of Day Mode functions
Your Watch can act as an ordinary watch to display the time, date,
and day for two different time zones, using a 12- or 24-hour
format.
You can return to Time of Day Mode from any other mode on the
Watch by pressing and holding MODE until the time of day
displays.
TO SET TIME OF DAY
For instructions on setting Watch functions, including Time of
Day, refer to page 13, “To set Watch functions.”
For Time of Day, you can set the following values:
v
v
Hour
Minute
v
Month
v
Date (automatically sets the day of week
when you set the date)
v
Year
v
Hour format (i.e., AM/PM versus 24-hours)
NOTE: You cannot adjust seconds. When you use the Watch with
the GPS-3D Sensor, it will align with UTC.
When switching between Standard Time and Daylight
Savings Time, manually adjust the hour.
You can set the Watch slightly ahead or behind current
time. For example, if you typically arrive ten minutes
late, set the Watch ten minutes ahead. The Watch
remains ahead of time even when you synchronize it with
the GPS-3D Sensor.
TO SWITCH TIME ZONES
The Watch can track two time zones (T1 and T2). Look at the
other zone by pressing START/SPLIT. Or, switch from T1 to T2
using these steps:
1. Press and hold START/SPLIT until HOLD FOR TIME 2
displays.
2. Continue to hold until the time switches and the Watch beeps.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to switch back to T1. The message will
read HOLD FOR TIME 1.
You must independently set the time of day for each time zone.
TO SYNCHRONIZE TIME OF DAY WITH FITNESS SENSORS
When you first activate the GPS-3D Sensor in conjunction with
your Watch, you can expect one of the following scenarios:
v
If you activate the GPS-3D Sensor before setting the time of
day, the Watch will synchronize both T1 and T2 with UTC. You
will need to adjust the hour for both time zones to your local
time.
v
If you activate the GPS-3D Sensor after setting the time of day,
the Watch maintains the hour and date settings and
synchronizes minutes and seconds to UTC for each time zone.
20
21
After initial use, the Watch will automatically correct any time
22
inaccuracy upon activation of the GPS-3D Sensor and every 15
minutes thereafter.
TO VIEW PERFORMANCE DATA IN TIME OF DAY MODE
When using Fitness Sensors with your Watch, scroll through
performance data by pressing and releasing DISPLAY.
Press to view

Performance data
Performance data viewing options for Time of Day Mode include:
v
Heart Rate: Current heart rate (requires HR Sensor).
v
Speed: Current velocity (requires GPS-3D Sensor).
v
Pace: Current velocity, expressed in minutes per selected
distance unit, such as miles or kilometers (requires GPS-3D
Sensor).
v
Distance: Distance traveled since the activation of the GPS-3D
Sensor (requires GPS-3D Sensor).
v
Altitude: Current elevation above sea level (requires GPS-3D
Sensor).
NOTE: If the Watch does not detect either Fitness Sensor, the
day of the week shows on the bottom line of the display.
You can continue viewing the day of the week while using
the Fitness Sensors by hiding performance data (for data
hiding information, see “Watch settings” on page 64). If
you choose Day of Week, it will appear as though the
Watch does not receive any data.
Time of Day Mode example
Assume that you live in San Francisco and work with a client in
Singapore. Like all busy people, it is imperative you keep track
of time, so you set T1 to your local time. But it is also important
to have a quick reminder of your client's time, so you set T2 to
Singapore time. With both time zones available, you can quickly
check your client's time or even switch your monitor to display
T2 when you travel to Singapore.

Chronograph Mode terminology
Chronograph: The chronograph records time segments for the
duration of your activity.
Lap: Lap time records the time for one segment of your activity.
Split: Split time records the total elapsed time since the beginning
of your current activity.
Taking a split: When you take a split, the chronograph will
complete timing one lap and begin timing a new one.
Chronograph Mode functions
Chronograph Mode operates as the main workout data center for
your Watch. It can record elapsed time for up to 100 hours. It can
also register information for up to 100 laps, including data for
speed, pace, and distance (using the GPS-3D Sensor); and average
heart rate (using the HR Sensor).
NOTE: Press MODE to switch the Watch display to any other
mode while the chronograph continues to run. The

1. Press MODE until Chronograph Mode appears.
2. Press START/SPLIT to begin timing.
3. Press START/SPLIT again to take a split and automatically
begin timing a new lap.
The Watch stores lap and split information and displays
average statistics for the lap if you are using the Fitness
Sensors.
4. Press MODE to immediately display new lap information
OR
Wait for a few seconds and the Watch will automatically begin
to display data for a new lap.
5. Press STOP/RESET to stop timing when you reach the end
of your activity.
6. Press START/SPLIT to continue timing.
OR
Press and hold STOP/RESET to reset the chronograph
display to zero.
25
v
Elevation: Difference between your current altitude and the
altitude when you started the chronograph (requires GPS-3D
Sensor).
Chronograph Mode example
Assume that you run regularly, and you want to gain information
about your current workout routine so that you can set fitness
goals for yourself. You use Chronograph Mode to record lap time
for each of the three stages of your workout. When you finish
your workout, use the lap information to determine distance and
pace, both per lap and as a total of all three laps. If you ran uphill
for part of your workout, you can also determine your elevation
to learn how far you climbed. With your current fitness level in
mind, you can then set realistic fitness goals for yourself and
monitor your progress on a regular basis.
27
TO OPERATE CHRONOGRAPH MODE HANDS-FREE
You can set Chronograph Mode to start when you begin moving
and to stop when you stop moving or to automatically take splits
based on either distance or elapsed time. See “Hands-free

Navigate Mode terminology
Waypoints: A point between the beginning and ending point on a
route. Waypoints serve as landmarks during an activity that you
can use to help you find your way from your ending point back to
your beginning point.
Heading: The direction you are traveling in relation to North.
The Watch includes a numeric heading display in Navigate Mode.
NOTE: In Configure Mode, you can set your Watch to read True
North (the geographic North Pole where all longitude lines
meet) or Magnetic North (North in alignment with the
earth's magnetic field). See “Unit settings” on page 65
for more information.
Navigate Mode functions
Navigate Mode displays directional information and tracks your
speed, distance, and altitude during an activity. While you can set
up to 10 waypoints to mark specific locations during your activity,
this mode does not operate like a compass. You must be moving for
accurate heading information.
In addition, Navigate Mode does not operate in conjunction with
the chronograph. This mode displays and automatically updates
current positional information, but does not keep time.
NOTE: Navigate Mode will not operate without the use of the
GPS-3D Sensor. If the GPS-3D Sensor is not operational,
you will receive the message: NO GPS DATA.
TO OPERATE NAVIGATE MODE
1. Press MODE until Navigate Mode appears.
2. Begin moving. The Watch automatically updates the
information displayed on the Watch.
If you stop moving the altitude and heading values freeze.
TO STORE WAYPOINTS IN NAVIGATE MODE
For Navigate Mode, you can only store waypoints. For all other
waypoints options, you must use Waypoints Mode.

As a member of a local backpacking club, you volunteer to
conduct trail clean-up before the opening of each camping
season. Your map indicates various landmarks along the trail,
but the trail itself has become overgrown. You move along the
trail, clearing the underbrush to reveal the trail and at each
landmark you set a waypoint on your Watch. When you reach
the end of your designated clean-up route, you activate the
Track Back feature to return to each landmark on your route
and ensure you have properly cleared the trail.
