Does the watch have a function that would allow me to use it for running in addition to golf? That is, start/stop with time, pace and distance?

No. It has golf course distances to green programmed in. There is no timer.

No it does not have these features. It has an odometer to measure how much you walked on the course by no start/stop time, pace, etc.

Yes, When you download your run data to your computer you will get a GPS map and the path you ran super imposed on in. At the bottom is a graph that will track pace, altitude, speed, and distance. It is my first GPS watch but I have been very pleased. No complaints.

You can program it either way when you do your HR set up. Its easier for run/bike to use percents if you want to stay in a zone, and it has zone alarms. I wear the watch in the pool but not the heart rate monitor. It will take time to get used to the watch and its functions, but read and re read the instructions. You will be fine. My only issue with it is the intervals. But otherwise like the watch.

The first time I used the golf watch it stopped working during 9 hole play. I didn't know if it was the watch or user error, so I charged the watch over night. The next day I headed out to play 18 holes. The watch performed beautifully. The watch was still working even after dinner. I will tell you that I do not turn the watch on until I am ready to start the round of golf. I am very pleased with my purchase. Hope this helps.

No, I wouldn't recommend it for that reason. Timex has an Ironman watch that is great as a regular and running watch. This watch is good for the GPS, while road running.

It doesn't have a tri mode. And if you do any races longer than 3 hours the battery will die anyway:-(. It's a pretty watch but not effective for multi-sport, get the garmin!

I bought the golf edition and used it for running as well. As the other reviewers mentioned, Battery life was an issue for me.

No, it does not have. But it has stop watch function. You can also set the length of a lap, at 0.4, 1, 2 miles etc., it will warn you through a beep and show you the time took you to finish the last lap. It is probably more useful in training than countdown timers.

The watch has two stop watch / chromo functions for timing your workouts. I have been disappointed with the heart rate function

No, this watch serves as a display and control unit for fitness apps. It is very light and comfortable. I use it for running mainly, but also working out and biking.

Your time spent running, the distance run, your average pace, etc. are all displayed at the same time. Once you hit stop and save, all of the details are reviewed again. And yes, the watch is made to fit people of all sizes. Hope this helps!

Do you use RunKeeper currently? If so, expect to have to do a manual export/import to get it to take. Also, MySports desktop app still locks up for me everytime I sync (have to close and reopen/resync). I didn't care much for the MySports website, but I already use RunKeeper anyway. It's completely comfortable, and sized just like a normal digital watch. I REALLY want to like this watch, and I still kinda do. If you're not in a hurry, I'd recommend holding off until/if they fix it... as it seems to be one of the best out there for the price--once it's all working. I'm holding out hope for it, but will be watching my return window closely.

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

Yes you can use it while walking if you wish to know the distance you walked, you would just need to set the watch to running mode

I do walk/run as well. The watch tracks distance, elevation, and pace speed. If you are behind, on, or ahead of the pace you set, the watch will alarm, and show which you are. Good Luck!!

Yes you can but from what I can tell, you are unable to view your stats at the same time. You'd be much better off to just set your lap distance to 1 mile (the default), then enable auto-lap. The watch will beep at the end of every mile and you would know to switch to a run/walk.

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.
