• The measurement functions built into this watch are not intended for use in

taking measurements that require professional or industrial precision. Values produced by this watch should be considered as reasonably accurate representations only.

• The longitude, lunitidal interval, moon age and tide graph data that appear on

the display of this watch are not intended for navigation purposes. Always use proper instruments and resources to obtain data for navigation purposes.

• This watch is not an instrument for calculating low tide and high tide times. The

tide graph of this watch is intended to provide a reasonable approximation of tidal movements only.

and the next high tide at that meridian. See “Lunitidal Interval” (page E-43) for more information.

• This watch displays lunitidal intervals in terms of hours and minutes.

• The “Site/Lunitidal Interval Data List” at the back of this manual provides UTC

differential and longitude information around the world.
