I agree with Ian-Paul. Before buying this HRM i checked it out at Sigma`s homepage. There you can see all the models and their options. I am very sattisfied with this model. At first it seemed a little too big for me, but I got used to it

Yes you can. I've owned two of the PC15s in my time and I have done three Ironman distance triathlons wearing these things. Yes even in the swim. They have been bullet proof for me. They simply have been the best bang for the buck. The newer version, at least the one pictured above, has a bigger display and is nicer. My wife has one as I continue to use my old pc15 that is now about 7 years old.

Short answer: yes. Long answer: when you begin your work out, you hit a start/stop button. This starts a timer and begins keeping track of the various other things: calories, avg hr, etc. If you don't start the timer, you don't get those things tracked. It also has a lap button, to help with tracking pace, if you're a runner, swimmer or cyclist. I don't use that feature myself, so can't speak to it.

It's just a basic timer. Go, stop, and clear. Goes up to one hour. Not a clock. I teach. I use it to time tests. Has 00:00:00 on it. I had a sports timer before. This one is easier to use and more accurate.

You can certainly time the workout, but It only measures steps. For instance, when I'm on the recumbent bike...it is not as accurate as jogging or elliptical.

My watch does pause if I remain in one spot after about 15 seconds but it isn't always reliable. I am not sure why other people are reporting theirs do not pause. You can pause it manually fairly easily.

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.

Its in the paper that came with the watch. Basically through your workout , take your pulse. I usually do every 5 minutes. When you are done, press stop on "exercise" feature. Then press the button on the right for 2 seconds until little bars show up on watch. 5 bars. Lowest to tallest represents how hard you worked out. I do insanity and t25 so I keep clicking the right button BC is difficult. Then watch calculates your calories burned. Does this make sense? Hope it helps!!

Yes. There is a stop watch function to count up. There is NO timer for a count down.

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 will give you the time, but not on the same screen that shows the heart rate when working out.

No. It's a stopwatch. It measures time elapsed since the start of an event. Military time does not apply for a stop watch.

No, I do not believe it has a countdown timer, but please read the product specs to be 100% sure. Now that it's winter at my location, my stopwatch is in storage with other sports equipment.

Yes. You must have the exercise timer going, take your pulse it will show you what your heart rate is and how many calories burned. Can do it as many times as you like as long as exercise timer is going. Great watch for price paid. I

Not sure. The one we got has a remote that has a push button to start a 17-minute Fight Gone Bad timer, and another button to start a Tabata timer, and another Mode button for setting a count-up or count-down timer, settable up to 99 minute duration. There's another button to set the display to show the current time of day, and it can also mute the beeps that normally sound when the workout begins or ends. There's number buttons for entering data, and a power button to turn the display on and off.

I assume you are asking whether it takes reading continuously as you run? Yes it does. The watch stop taking reading only when you finish your activities or when you switch off the sensor.

When you setup the timer you can adjust the "exercise" time and the "rest" time. That gives you two different time intervals that will run/alternate continuously. I hope that answers your question!

Yes. The Start/Stop button also acts as a Pause. There is a Clear button to cancel your time. We use ours to time our exercising and have to pause it occasionally. We are very happy with this timer.

On the treadmill it will only record Heartrate (in addition to time). This can either be done by manually going into the settings and turning the GPS OFF, or after a while of not finding GPS signal, the watch will ask you if you are indoors. Selecting YES at this point will turn off the GPS and allow you to workout indoors without getting incorrect GPS data.
