Usage Example 3 -
Using Your Watch in a Race While Traveling Between
Time Zones
You are flying with your running club from Chicago to Washington DC for a
10K citizen’s race. Your strategy is to stay within your target training heart
zone over the first half of the race and to push yourself in the second half.
You want to finish the race around 32 minutes, which means you will
probably exceed your target training heart zone during the second half of
the race to achieve this time goal.
In this example, you’ll use the following watch features::
■ Setting the Time Ahead: After you are settled into your airplane seat
you set your watch ahead for the Eastern Time Zone (U.S.).
• 30-Lap Model: You frequently travel to the East Coast for
business so you already have set your secondary time zone for the
30-Lap Model Fitness Model

the recovery period. When the alert sounds ending the one-minute

You’ll see your heart rate statistics, as well as all of your lap times if you
