Can the watch sense what stroke I'm using, or do i have to manually set it?

The watch will sense what stroke you are using. It recommends that you do not change strokes during the lap. You can change at the end of the lap. It will detect regular patterns that conform to FrontCrawl, BreastStroke, BackStroke or Butterfly strokes. It does not tell you which stroke you are using, though.

I think the watch says it can sense the stroke, but my experience has been that it cannot. You have to set the stroke in the watch

Sorry not sure if you meant your unit is not recognized by your watch or?? . I have a Garmin 310XT and it recognized it right away.

You should have received directions to program the watch included with the watch. Below is a brief description of how to program the watch. This is not a replacement for the directions you should use. Basically, press the lower left-hand side button to get to the various areas you wish to program. Pressing it once when the month and date are shown and you will see the word "chrono" displayed followed by "STP" This is the stop watch mode. press the upper right hand button and you will see "Run" displayed and the stop watch starts. When you want to stop the stop watch, press the upper left-hand button once and see "STP displayed and the stop watch stops running. Press the upper left-hand button again and the display is reset to 000. Press the lower left hand button again and see data. I've never used this feature so I can't give you any information about it. The instruction sheet should be of help. If you didn't get the sheet, ask the seller to send it to you. Press the upper left hand button again and see "Tmr" (timer) displayed. Use the other buttons to set how long you want to set the timer for. After the set time expires, your watch will beep. Press the upper left hand button again and "AL" (alarm) will be displayed. Use the other buttons to display the time you want to set the alarm for and the watch will beep when the set time elapses. Press the upper left hand button again to display DT (time in another time zone). Press the upper left hand button one more time and you will see "Time" displayed followed by something like MO-21 for Monday the 21st.

Just forward-back arrows, but the digital number of the track shows up on the display. So, while you can't just pop in the track number, you can at least see which one you are aiming for. Not ideal, but this is a VERY low cost unit. It does a lot for very few dollars.

I found I needed to sync it. The watch resets at midnight. If there is a different way to program it I couldn't find one. I do shift work so I wanted a different reset time but couldn't change it. I hope this helps.

There is no way to do that on the watch - once you transfer to Garmin Connect, you could see it.

I purchased the system for a friend and he mentioned this problem, but when I checked it out (timer ect.) it did not malfunction on my watch. Now that you have peaked my intrest, I need to contact my friend and get an update.

That is the CHRONO function on the watch. You find it went press the MODE button, and it will say CHRONO.

The watch has got sensor button on the surface where Drive+ is written on the top surface of the watch. Just press that sensor with index finger and heart shape figure would appear on watch and in four to five seconds heart rate will appear on the watch.

No, it automatically tracks it for you as long as you have the watch on your wrist and turned on.

Hi, Sharon. That's a good question. The add states that there are those functions in the phone /watch, but, I haven't been able to find those settings,yet, and I went through the whole menu, and the user manual. Not listed. I don't know if the really exist. I don't need those functions, but, maybe you can get in touch with the seller and ask. If you find out, please let me/us know. Good luck. Have a great day. CM

It depends on what you want from your Garmin watch. I wanted to know the distance to the green, period. I can estimate on my own how far it is to the dogleg, don't want to mess around with settings on the course, etc. I just want to look at my wrist and know the distance to the green, and it's very accurate for that.

Yes but I do not use it. I have set it up once to try out. All you have to do is hit the top of your watch to clock an interval. I think this makes it a great IT for short runs but longer distances mean more chance of hitting the IT as you run. Hope this helps, Andrew

It does not work well for me when counting laps. Hoping it is a software thing, tomtom has claimed they have an update in the work/soon though, so keeping fingers crossed.

No, you cannot see the coordinates on your watch display. Maybe you can detect them somehow when you transfer the data to the computer...

Press the "M" and "S" simultaneously to zero out the time. Then hit the "start" button to count up. Not intuitive! :)
