Using the Stopwatch

The stopwatch measures elapsed time and split times.
Hand Functions
x Second Hand: Indicates the stopwatch 1/10-second
b Left Dial Hands: Indicate the stopwatch minutes (short
n Right Dial Hand: Indicates the stopwatch 1/100-second
E-32
Note
The Stopwatch Mode can indicate elapsed time up to 23 minutes, 59.99 seconds.
D button operation (split, reset) is disabled while hands are moving at high speed
following a reset operation and when transitioning from a split time back to normal
elapsed timekeeping.
Once started, stopwatch timing continues until you press B to stop it, even if you
exit the Stopwatch Mode to another mode and even if timing reaches the stopwatch
limit defi ned above.
If the stopwatch was not reset after the last elapsed time operation, timing will
restart from where it was last stopped, and not from 0.
The x Second Hand indicates the 1/10-second count for the fi rst 30 seconds
of a stopwatch elapsed time operation. After that, the hand stops at 12 o'clock
position. 1/10-second timing continues internally after the fi rst 30 seconds, and the
x Second Hand will jump to the current value whenever B (Stop) or D (Split) is
pressed.

Checking the Current Time in a Different Time Zone

You can use the World Time Mode to view the current time in one of 29 time zones
around the globe. The city that is currently selected in the World Time Mode is called
the "World Time City".
Hand Functions
x Second Hand:
Indicates the currently selected World Time City.
b Left Dial Hands:
Indicate the current time in the selected World Time
City in 24-hour format.
n Right Dial Hand:
Indicates the current STD (standard time) or DST
(daylight saving time) setting of the currently selected
time zone.

lengths and leap years. Once you set the date, there should be no reason to
change it except after you have the watch's rechargeable battery replaced or after
power drops to Level 3.

Though the n Right Dial Hand is stopped while an elapsed time measurement
operation is in progress, the watch keeps track of the 1/100-second count
internally. The n Right Dial Hand will jump to the current 1/100-second reading
whenever you stop the stopwatch or perform a split time operation (page E-33).

The b Left Dial Hands will move to the current time in the time zone of the
current city code. At this time, the z Hour Hand and c Minute Hand will
continue to indicate the current time in the Home City.
For full information on city codes, see the "City Code Table" at the back of this
manual.
If you think that the time indicated for the selected time zone is not correct, it
probably means that there is something wrong with your Home City settings. Use
the procedure under "To confi gure Home City settings" (page E-20) to correct
the Home City settings.

Swapping your Home City and World Time City

You can use the procedure below to swap your Home City and World Time City. This
capability can come in handy when you frequently travel between two locations in
different time zones.
The following example shows what happens when the
Home City and World Time City are swapped while the
Home City originally is TYO (Tokyo) and the World Time
City is NYC (New York).
