Vertical Mode
Vertical Mode operates as a viewing mode in conjunction with the
GPS-3D Sensor with a focus on displaying information about
altitude. In particular, Vertical Mode tailors the Watch to allow you
to view data related to vertical activities (for example, climbing or
skiing). If you do not use the GPS-3D Sensor, you will see the
message NO GPS DATA and you cannot enter Vertical Mode.
Vertical Mode terminology

Chronograph Mode tips & tricks
➤ If you press MODE to switch the Watch to a different mode while
the chronograph continues to run, the stopwatch icon will
appear to indicate the chronograph still operates.
➤ If you use the Watch with the HR Sensor you can set it to
automatically begin taking a heart rate recovery calculation each
time you press STOP/RESET to stop the chronograph. However,
if you press START/SPLIT again before the recovery cycle has
completed, you will cancel the recovery. For more information,
refer to “Recovery” on page 58.
Chronograph Mode example
Recently you heard that a training method for long distance
runners called the run/walk method can help increase your
overall endurance and burn more calories. This method calls for
running for a period of time followed by a short period of walking.
You decide to use Chronograph Mode to help you try this method.
You press START/SPLIT when you begin running and then after
10 minutes of running you press START/SPLIT again and walk
for 2 minutes. You continue using these two sequences until you
have completed a 60 minute run/walk.
