Setting a Timex digital watch... what's the "P" on the date screen?

This thing is kicking my butt. I've read the instructions and can't find a reference to this. When setting the date, there's a "P" that can be cycled on or off. What does this do? If it's on, then a small P shows up on the other screens as a reminder that you've engaged P mode. WHAT IS IT???

PS It seems to have nothing to do with the alarm or hourly chime.

It's not PM - AM and PM are selected when setting the hour. This "P" is on the date screen.

That's the best answer I've heard yet!

Can't see that being the case... it has a calendar, but it's pretty basic - you can't enter the year.

If it's a "sports" type watch with built-in heart rate monitor and such, I'd guess it either stands for "Pulse" or "Pace" mode.
