What does this selection do ?
You can set two different timers to better control
your workouts. You can also program your
personal target heart rate zone in one beat per
minute increments and set the recovery timer.
Further, you can choose on display simul-
taneously either the time of day and the lap
times OR the cumulative time of the exercise
and the lap times.
Why would you use this selection ?
The two timers allow you to segment your
exercise periods according to your particular
needs.

Example 1. Warm up and cool down: You
could set Timer 1 to sound at 10 minutes for
your warm up period. Timer 2 at 20 minutes for
full strength exercise, and then use the 10
minute timer again for your cool down period.
Example 2. Interval Training: You could set
Timer 1 to sound at 1 minute intervals for all-out
running and Timer 2 to sound at 2 minute
intervals for rest periods between the intervals.
The Timer 1 would tell you when to go again
after the recovery period.
The flexible programmability of the target heart
rate zone in one beat per minute accuracy
allows you to monitor your workouts to great
detail securing the correct exercise intensity for
you (audio and/or visual alarm).
The recovery heart rate calculation allows you
to follow very concretely your way to improved
performance. As your training program takes
effect, you will start seeing a distinct improve-
ment in your recovery rate after an exercise
routine. This means that you will reach a lower
heart rate level faster once you stop exercising.
Choosing between the time of day and
cumulative time of the total exercise, in addition
to the lap times, gives you the option to
program on display the sport watch functions
according to your own preferences.
