About
Lightpacer continuously tracks your time and distance and simulates "wavelights" through vibration to indicate if your pace is outside the "green" zone.

• VIBRATIONS: The watch will vibrate every two seconds if you are running too slow ("red" zone) and every four seconds if you are running too fast (“blue” zone).
• NUMBERS: The watch will show the number of seconds you are off schedule.
• LIGHTS: The number will stay green if you are within the green zone (on schedule), red if you are behind schedule and blue if you are ahead of schedule. If red, a negative number will appear.
During competition or training you should not need to look at your Garmin watch.
Lightpacer uses GPS, footpod or Garmin's built-in meter to calculate distance. It is as accurate as the GPS, footpod or Garmin's built-in meter allows. STRYD footpod is a good choice for measuring distance.

Lights: The number is green when you are on schedule in the green zone. The number will turn red if you are behind schedule and blue if you are ahead of schedule (outside the green zone).
