It can also inform you about calories burned, but I do not even look at this function.

(The recovery timer of the PC1600 seemingly is not very practical: if you want to use it, it should be set to 'auto' and will start running once you stop the timer. The downside is that after that your timer is re-set and your data are gone. In other words, you cannot use this function and pause your monitoring during a break, puncture or other in-between stop.)
