3. Rotate the crown to move the 2 Second Hand to the city code you want to select
as the World Time City.
Each time you select a city code, the 1 Hour Hand, 3 Minute Hand, and 6 Day
Indicator move to the current time and day for that city code. For details about
city codes, see the "City Code Table" at the back of this manual.
If you think that the time indicated for the selected World Time City 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-38) to correct
the Home City settings.

Using the Stopwatch

You can use the Stopwatch Mode to measure elapsed time and lap times, and to
recall lap times. Up to 10 lap times can be stored in memory. There is also memory
to record the fastest lap time. Though no more lap times are stored after 10 times are
in memory, the fastest lap time continues to be updated as required. Starting a new
elapsed time operation clears all of the memories (including fastest lap time).
What is a lap time?
A lap time is the time elapsed over a specifi c segment of a race.
