empty indicator begins flashing. If the watch display goes blank, you can still proceed with this
process as long as the display has been in that state for no more than one or two days.

GOING FOR A RUN
Use the stopwatch to time workouts, display real-time data during workouts, and to save workouts
for review. You can also record workouts through Interval mode, as described later in this manual.
STARTING A WORKOUT
1. Press ↵to open the main menu.
2. Select WORKOUT > STOPWATCH.
NOTE: If the watch displays a message that memory is nearly full, choose OVERWRITE to let the
new workout replace the oldest workout in memory, or DELETE ALL to remove all
workouts from memory.
3. The watch then automatically searches for GPS, and shows GPS READY when a fix is made.
If the watch indicates that a GPS fix was not made, move away from any tall buildings or trees,
stand still, and select RETRY to search again.
4. Select START to begin timing the workout.
VIEWING WORKOUT SCREENS
The stopwatch provides three screens for viewing real-time workout data. Each screen includes
one or two fields, and a "mini-page" at the bottom that can show time of day or the lap number.
•During a workout, press to cycle through the screens.
CUSTOMIZING WORKOUT SCREENS
You can customize the three workout screens to include the following data.
Data Description
SPLIT TIME Total elapsed time of the workout
LAP TIME Elapsed time for the current lap
DISTANCE Total distance traveled during the workout
PACE Current minutes per mile/km
AVG PACE Average minutes per mile/km over the entire workout
SPEED Current speed
AVG SPEED Average speed over the entire workout
CALORIES Estimated number of calories burned during the workout
NOTE: If no GPS fix was obtained, the watch can only record split and lap times.
Customize the workout screens as follows:
1. From the main menu, select SETTINGS > DISPLAY.
2. Select a page/screen to edit.
3. Select the data to display in each line. To leave a line blank, select OFF.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 for each page.
5. Set the data to display in the mini page. (The mini page stays the same no matter which
page/screen is selected.)

8
STOPPING AND SAVING A WORKOUT
1. Press to stop timing.
2. Select RESUME to continue timing again, SAVE to end the workout and save the data, or
DISCARD to end the workout and clear the stopwatch.
TAKING LAPS AND SPLITS
WHAT ARE LAP AND SPLIT TIMES?
Lap time is the length of an individual segment of your workout (usually a repeated segment, such
as a lap around a track). Split time is the total elapsed time from the beginning of your workout
through the current segment.
When you “take a split”, you have completed timing one segment (such as a lap) of the workout,
and are now timing the next segment.
This figure illustrates lap and split times for a typical workout in which four laps/splits were taken:
TAKING A LAP/SPLIT
•When the stopwatch is running, press to record a lap/split.
The watch then displays the average pace for the workout, the distance of the lap you just
completed, the lap time, and the split time, and begins timing a new lap.
The watch can store up to 99 lap times per workout.
Once you stop and save the workout, you can review summary data for the entire workout, as well
as for individual laps.
HANDS-FREE RECORDING
Every time you reach one mile or kilometer (units chosen in your first-time setup), the watch
automatically records a lap. You can update this hands-free auto lap function as follows:
1. From the main menu, select SETTINGS > AUTO LAP.
2. Select DISTANCE or TIME as the auto lap trigger.
3. Set the distance or time at which the watch takes an auto lap.
To use auto lap, simply start timing a workout. Every time you reach the specified distance or time,
the stopwatch takes a lap/split.

RUN/WALK TRAINING WITH INTERVALS
BENEFITS OF INTERVAL TRAINING
Your watch features an Interval mode that can track times or distances for up 99 repetitions of one
or two intervals.
Interval workouts are powerful tools for targeting and training to improve running speed,
endurance, and threshold. Periods of heavy activity such as running interspersed with recovery
periods of lesser activity such as walking help you train longer and more intensely. Combining
aerobic and anaerobic activity in this way helps you:
•Target workouts for improving speed, cardiovascular and muscular endurance, and other
qualities.
•Improve your body’s processing of lactic acid.
•Reduce the risk of injury.
For best results, set up your interval workouts to train for a specific quality, such as in the following
examples.
EXAMPLE ENDURANCE WORKOUT
To train for endurance, you might set up a classic 1-mile repeat workout: three or four repetitions of
a 1-mile interval at about half-marathon pace, each followed by a 1-minute walking recovery.
EXAMPLE SPEED WORKOUT
To train for speed, you might run sets of 4 x 400m: run a fast 400m interval at slightly more than
race pace, followed by a 2-minute slow jog recovery, then repeat both intervals four times.
SETTING UP AN INTERVAL WORKOUT
1. From the main menu, select SETTINGS > INTERVALS.
2. Select INT 1.
3. Select a name for the interval: RUN, WALK, HARD, EASY, FAST, or SLOW.
4. Select to end the interval after a specified DISTANCE or a specified TIME.
NOTE: All distance-based intervals require GPS. You can mix distance- and time-based intervals
in the same workout.
5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 for INT 2.
STARTING AN INTERVAL WORKOUT
1. From the main menu, select WORKOUT > INTERVALS.
NOTE: If a message states that memory is nearly full, choose OVERWRITE to write the new
workout over the oldest workout in memory, or choose DELETE ALL to remove all
workouts from memory.
2. Press ↵to confirm the displayed settings. The watch then automatically searches for GPS, and
shows GPS READY when a fix is made.
TIP: To acquire GPS more quickly, move away from tall buildings and trees, and stand still.
3. From GPS READY, select START to begin timing the workout.
4. During your workout, press to see the elapsed time and total distance.

10
5. At the end of each interval, the watch beeps and displays the next interval’s name and the
remaining time.
6. When both intervals are complete, the workout repeats and the repetition count increases. The
intervals continue repeating until you stop the workout.
7. To skip an interval, press and hold .
STOPPING AND SAVING AN INTERVAL WORKOUT
1. Press to stop timing.
2. Select RESUME to continue timing the workout, SAVE to end the workout and save the data, or
DISCARD to end the workout and reset the interval timer.
REVIEWING WORKOUTS
The watch can store up to 10 workouts. You can use the HISTORY screens to review these saved
workouts and track your progress.
REVIEWING WORKOUT SUMMARIES
The workout summary contains data about complete workouts.
OPENING THE WORKOUT
1. From the main menu, select HISTORY, then select STOPWATCH or INTERVAL.
2. Select the workout to review, then select SUMMARY.
3. Use and to scroll through the workout data.
The following tables show the types of data displayed for stopwatch and interval workouts.
