The jumpmaster feature is for use by experienced skydivers 

only. The jumpmaster feature should not be used as a primary 

skydiving altimeter. Failure to input the appropriate jump related 

information can lead to serious personal injury or death.
The jumpmaster feature follows military guidelines for 

calculating the high altitude release point (HARP). The device 

detects automatically when you have jumped to begin navigating 

toward the desired impact point (DIP) using the barometer and 

electronic compass.

Triathletes, duathletes, and other multisport competitors can 

take advantage of the multisport activities, such as Triathlon or 

Swimrun. During a multisport activity, you can transition 

between activities and continue to view your total time and 

distance. For example, you can switch from biking to running 

and view your total time and distance for biking and running 

throughout the multisport activity.
You can customize a multisport activity, or you can use the 

default triathlon activity set up for a standard triathlon.

From the watch face, select   > Add > Multisport.

Select a multisport activity type, or enter a custom name.
Duplicate activity names include a number, for example:

The device is intended for surface swimming. Scuba diving with 

the device may damage the product and will void the warranty.

swimming.

Length: One trip down the pool.
Interval: One or more consecutive lengths. A new interval starts 

after a rest.

Stroke: A stroke is counted every time your arm wearing the 

device completes a full cycle.

Swolf: Your swolf score is the sum of the time for one pool 

length and the number of strokes for that length. For 

example, 30 seconds plus 15 strokes equals a swolf score of 

45. For open water swimming, swolf is calculated over 25 

meters. Swolf is a measurement of swimming efficiency and, 

like golf, a lower score is better.

Stroke type identification is available only for pool swimming. 

Your stroke type is identified at the end of a length. Stroke types 

appear when you are viewing interval history. You can also 

select stroke type as a custom data field (

).
