S+D settings
Zone type: Similar in concept to a heart rate target zone alert,
you can set the Watch to track your speed or your pace and to
alert you if you move too slowly or too quickly (alert types include
an audible alert that beeps or a silent alert that flashes). You can
set speed and pace limits independently. For instance, set pace
limits to control pace for your run and set speed limits to values
useful for cycling. Then simply switch between the settings for
each activity.
Distance alert: Set the Watch to alert you for distance intervals.
For example, you can set the Watch to alert you for every mile
you travel. The distance alert will only function when you run the
chronograph. If you would like the Watch to take a split based on
distance traveled, refer to the Hands-Free Settings on page 60.
Smoothing: Smoothing is useful if you feel that the displayed
speed or pace values appear to be too erratic. Smoothing applies an
averaging filter and may cause the displayed speed or pace values to
respond more slowly to changes.
Speed smoothing: Turn speed smoothing off or on.
Pace smoothing: Turn pace smoothing off or on.
Recovery: This feature helps you determine how quickly your
heart rate returns to a lower heart rate value at the end of your
activity; the quicker you return, the better your fitness level. You
can set the Watch to calculate a recovery heart rate when you
stop the chronograph for one minute, two minutes, or off.
Selecting OFF will prevent the Watch from automatically
calculating a recovery heart rate when you stop the chronograph.
You may still manually calculate your recovery rate in Summary
Mode, set to one minute, if you select OFF in Configure Mode.
Max heart rate: Enter your Maximum Heart Rate. The Watch
uses this value to calculate the five preset heart rate zones and
serves as a reference for displaying your heart rate as a percent of
your maximum heart rate (PERCENT).
Heart rate display: You can set the Watch to display your
heart rate as either a percentage of your maximum heart rate
(PERCENT) or in beats per minute (BPM). The setting you
choose will determine how your heart rate displays in all other
Watch settings.
