Module No. 3516

Performing Activity Measurement

The watch uses an accelerometer to measure and record the distance, step count, elapsed time, pace, and other data while running, walking, or engaging in other activities.

You can review recorded data on the watch or with CASIO WATCHES phone app.

Viewing Activity Log Records

Before using activity measurements, it is recommended that you configure the settings required for measurement.

Using the Timer for Interval Training

Overview

Multiple timers can be used for the timing of consecutive segments of an activity (interval timers). You can use an interval timer to control how much time you spend doing push-ups, squats, or other exercises that make up a fitness workout.

For example, you could configure an interval timer as shown below and have intervals Num_circle_1 through Num_circle_4 automatically repeat ten times.

Timer Settings

[TIMER1]: 30 seconds

[TIMER2]: 20 seconds

[TIMER3]: 30 seconds

[TIMER4]: 25 seconds

Sets: 10

Interval Training Workout

  1. Push-ups: 30 seconds

  2. Rest: 20 seconds

  3. Squats: 30 seconds

  4. Rest: 25 seconds

Note

The interval timer can repeat up to five timers up to ten times (auto repeat timer).

For information about configuring interval timer settings, see the information below.

Starting Heart-rate Training

With heart-rate training, you measure your heart rate and then use the resulting value as a benchmark for training. You can monitor your heart rate levels and keep your exercise intensity in line with your training goals, which contributes to more efficient training, improved cardiopulmonary function, and better health.

Heart Rate Zone (HR zones)
Powered by Polar

To specify a target heart rate zone

Specify a target heart rate zone that matches your training objectives.

The range from 50% to 100% of your maximum heart rate is divided into five heart rate zones. You can easily control the intensity of your training by keeping your heart rate within a particular zone. Each heart rate zone has a main effect, and understanding these effects can enhance the effectiveness of your training.

Zone 1 (50 to 60% of maximum heart rate): Very light training
Zone 1 training improves overall health and helps you recover from more strenuous training.
You can continue training in this zone for long periods.

Zone 2 (60 to 70% of maximum heart rate): Light training
Zone 2 training increases general stamina. It uses fat as an energy source, improving the body’s ability to burn fat.
You can continue training comfortably in this zone for long periods.

Zone 3 (70 to 80% of maximum heart rate): Moderate training
Zone 3 training improves aerobic fitness. It causes lactic acid to begin to accumulate in the bloodstream, but the body can reuse the lactic acid for energy, so it does not affect performance.
Since Zone 3 training requires deeper breathing, you will feel the need for a moderate amount of effort.

Zone 4 (80 to 90% of maximum heart rate): Hard training
Zone 4 training improves speed endurance and enhances the ability of the body to use protein (sugar) for energy. In addition, Zone 4 training allows you to tolerate high levels of lactic acid in the blood.
Zone 4 training results in muscle fatigue and rough breathing.

Zone 5 (90 to 100% of maximum heart rate): Very hard training
Zone 5 training improves maximum performance. Large amounts of lactic acid are accumulated, so long-term training is not possible.
Zone 5 training results in labored breathing and muscle fatigue.

To set up the heart rate zone alert

If you engage in heart-rate training while the heart rate zone alert is enabled, the watch will perform a sound and/or vibration operation to let you know when your current heart rate is outside your target zone. If you do not re-enter the target zone after the alert, an out-of-zone notification operation will be performed at one-minute intervals.

Heart rate zone alert performs notification only while the heart rate measurement screen is displayed.

Activity Measurement Precautions

After using an activity function, use the charging cable to charge the watch.

Charging the Watch

Activity measurement is not possible while the battery indicator shows 3516_icon_inl_LOW or lower. Charging before performing an activity measurement is recommended.

Charging

If [MEMORY FULL] appears on the display while an activity measurement operation is in progress, the measurement operation stops.
Measurement also stops automatically whenever a single activity measurement operation exceeds 80 hours.

3516_MEMORY_FULL

You may not be able to save measurement results if the remaining activity log capacity is low. If this happens, delete log data you no longer need to make room for more data.

Deleting Activity Records
3516_STORAGE_LOW

For information about the summary (Measurement Result) screen that appears after an activity measurement operation is complete, see the information below.
