elevation, and to track your movements.

The chronograph

As you use this manual to learn about your Watch, the word
chronograph can potentially cause some confusion. Try to remember
this: a chronograph is a tool for measuring time. So, you will
notice a Chronograph Mode, but Vertical and Finish Modes also
operate from the chronograph. Any time your Watch functions as a
timing tool, it operates using chronograph (or timing) functionality.
