Does this watch have any functions to help with running intervals?

Yes. And very easy to setup. You have a simple "chrono" mode, the second mode is Intervals where you can set the interval sets and workouts.

Sort of...it has an interval timer function, but you can only program 5 intervals, which with recovery isn't enough intervals for me. I have not played with this function more than once or twice so there may be a work around, but it in my opinion this is one of the negatives of the watch. Otherwise I like the watch very much. You ma look at the run trainer 2.0 for improvements of this feature.

ABSOLUTELY !!!!! The Run Trainer has a VERY elaborate system for Interval training ! : )

Ninety-nine intervals and then you have to hit the start button again....I used it on Sunday for a half marathon to keep track of my run/walks...

There is no clock function. It is however incredibly useful in ways of marking waypoints. Its battery life is amazing as well. I use it as a hunting/tracking aid. Let's face it... If you are out on a trek and need to know what time it is then you need to rethink your trek :)

Yes it does. I actually used this feature last night. It will 'beep' when the interval changes.

You need to be more specific with your questions. Your best bet is to find and download the user's manual. It will give you specific instructions. However, I wouldn't recommend this watch - at least not based on my experience. Its performance (as a heart monitor) is inconsistent - sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

Yes it does. You can set it up as needed, by going to Run Options > Run/Walk > [select ON] > enter time for each interval. Keep in mind that it will always be set to the RUN/WALK function until you turn it off.

Sorry, I don't know. I bought this watch years ago and it did not have that feature then.

My old one used to pause every thirty seconds - this replacement just runs for 2 minutes and I have to keep an eye on my watch. I am very frustrated by this.

I have not found a way to show the time with distance. However u can hit the top of the bezel (time) and see it then hit the side to go back to training.

I don't know of any beeping functions. I think the fitbit does that. This doesn't count steps per day. It does allow you to setup weekly training sessions for different goals and is a great heart rate monitor.

Yes it appears you can bypass the satellite connection and use it as a stop watch that will take lap times for you if needed. Also has an interval timer that you can set up.

Yes this watch has auto pause button. And you can set the auto pause threshhold speed. That means if your speed goes below the set speed, the watch will pause and will resume when your speed increase above the set speed limit. Its very helpfull in city runs where one has to stop for lights and trafic

Yes you can. This is something you can do on the Garmin Connect website and later sync that information to the watch. On the website, you will have to type in what you want to call each specific set (run/rest/walk) and input the time yourself. You would also need to go into the watch settings itself to adjust the settings. In the settings, you can set it to sounds or vibrate to let you know your set is over.

Lifetrak does have a YouTube channel that will help you setup your watch. Here is one of the videos and there is others to help with other specific settings. http://youtu.be/ecKEDSkHMdc

I don't believe it's function is to tell you exactly what passage to be on rather it allows you to track your time and pace yourself on each passage. The purpose of this watch is to time exactly how much time given for each section so hat you can keep track of if you need to speed up or if you can take your time. I hope this answers your question!

No, just heart rate. It has a zone feature also keeps time when not used as monitor

There is no stopwatch function or any other type of timer that you can start or stop via push of a button. There is a "timer" that begins after a set amount of aerobic activity (it's not much, but it has to be continuous to start the timer) to let you know how many aerobic steps and aerobic minutes you performed for that day.
