Usage Example 2 -
Using Your Watch to Measure Fitness and Time a
Club Workout
An avid spinner, you go to your health club four times a week and spin for
30 minutes each session. You like to monitor your heart rate when spinning
to maximize the workout by spending as much time as possible in your
target heart rate zone. At the end of your workout you measure how quickly
your heart rate recovers during a standard one-minute recovery period.
In this example, you’ll use the following watch modes:
30-Lap Model Fitness Model
HRM SETUP

CHRONO
TIMING

NOTE: Pages 32 discuss REVIEW Mode in more detail.
Timing Your Workout: Use the CHRONO Mode or TIMING Mode to time
your workout:
• 30-Lap Model: Go to CHRONO Mode and make sure the Chrono is
reset to zero (0). Press START/SPLIT when you begin your run,
and each time you complete a lap. The watch will store the ten (10)
individual lap times. When you complete your final lap, press
STOP/RESET/SET.
Fitness Model: In TIMING Mode, make sure the watch is set to
count up from zero (0), like a stopwatch. Press START/STOP when
you begin your run and when you complete your final lap.
Reviewing Your Lap Times: During your victory walk home, you can
review the data from your workout in REVIEW Mode. If you were
using a heart rate sensor, you’ll see your heart rate statistics there
(both models), as well as all of your lap times (30-Lap Model only).
NOTE: Not sure how to configure TIMING Mode? See pgs. 27–29
for more information.
