Using the Watch to Officially Time a Sporting
If you set a game or event time, the watch will sound an alarm when the time in the
lower display reaches that time.
If the event is interrupted for some reason, you can press
D to pause and restart
timing in the upper display. The lower display shows the total elapsed time since the
start of the timing operation. You can calculate the total amount of time that play was
interrupted (lost time or injury time) by subtracting the upper display time from the
lower display time.
