Can PM5 display time in 24h format?

Post by Bonebardier » November 30th, 2024, 10:20 am

Minor issue, but I’m a new user and can’t find a way of getting the PM5 to display time in 24h format. Blame a military background, everything I do is in 24h format, so it seems unlikely that there isn’t a way of doing this, anyone know how?

Cheers

No sorry, it's AM/PM only (blame the Americans).

I look at workouts, etc., on the online C2 log in a web browser. The online log web display uses 24 hour clock to give time of workout. Others use ergdata to look at data.

What were you looking at on the PM5 that had a timestamp, and do you prefer to look at it PM5?

Got to be honest I haven’t got that far yet, it was simply while setting it up from scratch. Totally new to the whole thing and when setting the time/date noticed no 24h time.

Download ERGDATA for your phone or tablet. Ergdata will be in your app store (android, ios), and is free. Author is Concept2. Ergdata will take care of chores like keeping PM5 firmware up to date and setting time. The main value of ergdata is capturing each stroke and logging it (split, distance, stroke rate, HR etc). The PM5 only keeps interval data, the per stroke data is discarded.

Create an online log at concept2.

Login to your online log from ergdata. Once your log and ergdata are connected each workout you do will be automatically synced with the concept2 log. The log is the easiest place to look at past rowing workouts. You get some simple graphs, weekly, monthly and season summaries, and the ability to download csv data to spreadsheets if thats your thing.

For each workout you'll need to connect ergdata and your pm5. This happens automatically once you've set it up.

If you use other exercise platforms (e.g. garmin) you can push data from the concept2 log to that platform.

Once you have your C2 log set up take a look at the holiday challenge. You still have time to join. Also there is some swag C2 gives people who log 1M meters (whether they own a C2 erg, or use someone else's.)
