We invented a new feature for the run timer called the “RUN PAUSE” button that when pressed (after the starting countdown) instructs the timer to stop when the runner stops (up to 2 minutes) for traffic or to tie their shoes. Then automatically starts back when the run starts running again.

How to use RUN PAUSE

1. Press the gold Start button to begin your run.
2. A 5-second countdown begins. During this countdown you can press the round RUN PAUSE button to queue it up — the green ring lights up to show it’s ready, but the feature won’t activate until the 5 seconds are up.
3. Once the countdown finishes and your run starts, RUN PAUSE turns on automatically (if you pressed it). Now, whenever you stop for up to 2 minutes — for traffic, to tie your shoes, etc. — the timer pauses on its own and resumes the moment you start running again.
4. Press the RUN PAUSE button again at any time to turn the feature off.

Tip: You can also press RUN PAUSE after the countdown, while your run is in progress.
