Vertical Mode
Vertical Mode terminology
Ascent rate: How quickly you climb or descend.
Vertical speed: Another term for ascent rate.
Vertical Mode functions
Vertical Mode operates as a viewing mode in conjunction with the
GPS-3D Sensor with a focus on displaying altitudinal data. In
particular, Vertical Mode tailors the Watch to view data related to
vertical activities (for example, climbing or skiing).
NOTE: If you do not use the GPS-3D Sensor, Vertical Mode
operates identically to Chronograph Mode, displaying only
time and lap information.

Elevation: Difference between your current altitude and the
altitude when you started the chronograph (requires GPS-3D
Sensor).
Chronograph Mode example
Assume that you run regularly, and you want to gain information
about your current workout routine so that you can set fitness
goals for yourself. You use Chronograph Mode to record lap time
for each of the three stages of your workout. When you finish
your workout, use the lap information to determine distance and
pace, both per lap and as a total of all three laps. If you ran uphill
for part of your workout, you can also determine your elevation
to learn how far you climbed. With your current fitness level in
mind, you can then set realistic fitness goals for yourself and
monitor your progress on a regular basis.
