A HELPING HAND · GETTING STARTED

When the timer seems too far ahead

An unexpectedly large elapsed value usually calls for checking the stored start before changing other settings.

Understand the record

An unexpectedly large elapsed value usually calls for checking the stored start before changing other settings. A ring at full progress can also make an ordinary running timer look finished.

Use the controls deliberately

Read the start date as well as the time. Look for a forgotten previous session or a backdating mistake, then use the appropriate time correction if you can establish the actual event.

For an active record, changing the goal preserves the start, note, mood, and optional weight. The controller also recalculates any enabled goal reminder, subject to permission and quiet-hour settings.

Check a practical example

Changing the goal alters the ring and remaining time, but it does not repair an incorrect start. A plausible-looking ring is not proof that the recorded duration is right.

Keep the meaning clear

If a clock or time-zone change preceded the confusion, compare the complete timestamps first. Avoid repeatedly editing the record until you know which value is incorrect.
