elevation, and to track your movements.

measures your heart rate. The Fitness Sensor User Guide

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.
