This section provides an overview of the watch and introduces convenient ways it can be used.
Important!
This watch is not a special-purpose measuring instrument. Measurement function readings are intended for general reference only.
Whenever using the Digital Compass of this watch for serious trekking, mountain climbing, or other activities, be sure to always take along another compass to confirm readings. If the readings produced by the Digital Compass of this watch are different from those of the other compass, perform figure 8 calibration or 2-point calibration of the watch compass to ensure better accuracy.
Compass readings and calibration
will not be possible if the watch is in the vicinity of a permanent magnet (magnetic accessory, etc.), metal objects, high-voltage wires, aerial wires, or electrical household appliances (TV, computer, cellphone, etc.)
Digital Compass
l
The watch’s Altimeter Mode calculates and displays relative altitude based on barometric pressure readings produced by its pressure sensor. Because of this, altitude values displayed by the watch may be different from your actual elevation and/or sea level elevation indicated for the area where you are located. Regular calibration in accordance with the local altitude (elevation) indications is recommended.

Auto Altitude Calibration

Enabling auto altitude calibration with G­SHOCK Connected will cause altitude values to be acquired by G-SHOCK Connected, which will be used to automatically correct the watch’s altitude reading.
Important!

Recording Waypoints and Their Altitudes (Mission Log)

Mission Log uses G-SHOCK Connected GPS to record the waypoints of your routes. At the same time, the watch takes altitude readings every two minutes and stores them in memory, and automatically transfers altitude data to G­SHOCK Connected every hour.
Data Transfer
After Mission Log is enabled, data transfer starts when the number of altitude records in watch memory reaches 30.

As shown in the illustration below, magnetic north and true north are not the same.
Note
The north indicated on commercially available maps is normally true north.

Digital Compass Reading Precautions

Location During Use
Taking readings near sources of strong magnetism can cause reading error. Keep the watch away from the following types of items.
Permanent magnets (magnetic accessories, etc.), metal objects, high-voltage wires, aerial wires, electrical household appliances (TVs, computers, cellphones, etc.)
Note that correct direction readings are not possible indoors, especially inside of reinforced concrete structures.
Accurate direction readings are not possible in motor vehicles, on boats, on aircraft, etc.
Storage Location
Exposure of the watch to magnetism can affect the accuracy of digital compass readings. Keep the watch away from the types of items below.
Permanent magnets (magnetic accessories, etc.), metal objects, electrical household appliances (TVs, computers, cellphones, etc.)

Altitude Measurement

The watch takes altitude readings and displays results based on air pressure measurements taken by a built-in pressure sensor.
Important!
The altitude readings displayed by the watch are relative values that are calculated based on barometric pressure measured by the watch’s pressure sensor. This means that barometric pressure changes due to weather can cause altitude readings taken at the same location to be different. Also note that the value displayed by the watch may be different from the actual elevation and/ or sea level elevation indicated for the area where you are located. When using the watch’s altimeter while mountain climbing, it is recommended that you regularly calibrate its readings in accordance with local altitude (elevation) indications.

Calibrating Altitude Readings (Offset)

To minimize the difference between locally indicated and measured values, you should update the reference altitude value (offset) before setting off and during treks or any other activities where you take altitude readings.
Also, you can ensure accurate measurements by checking a map local altitude indications or some other source for your current location’s altitude, and regularly calibrating watch readings with the latest information while mountain climbing.
Note
You can find out the altitude at your current location from signs, maps, on the Internet, etc.
Differences between actual altitude and watch readings can be caused by the factors below.

Altitude Reading Precautions

Effects of Temperature
When taking altitude readings, take the steps below to keep the watch at as stable a temperature as possible. Changes in temperature can affect altitude readings.
Take readings with the watch on your wrist.
Take readings in an area where temperature is stable.
Altitude Readings
Do not use this watch while skydiving, hang gliding, paragliding, gyrocopter flying, glider flying, or engaged in other activities where altitude changes suddenly.
Altitude readings produced by this watch are not intended for special-purpose or industrial level use.
In an aircraft, the watch measures the in­cabin pressurized air pressure, so readings will not match altitudes announced by the crew.
Altitude Readings (Relative Altitude)
This watch uses International Standard Atmosphere (ISA) relative altitude data defined by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). Barometric pressure generally becomes lower as altitude increases.
Correct measurement may not be possible under the conditions below.
During unstable atmospheric conditions
During sudden temperature changes
After the watch has been subjected to strong impact

Barometric Pressure Change Indications

Whenever the watch detects a significant change in air pressure readings (due to sudden ascent or descent, or to the passage of a low pressure or high pressure area), it will beep to let you know. An arrow will also flash on the display at this time if the watch is in the Barometer Mode, or if it is in the Timekeeping Mode with the barometric pressure graph displayed. The arrow that appears shows the direction of the pressure change. These alerts are called “Barometric Pressure Change Indications”.
This
indicator:
Sudden drop in pressure
Sudden rise in pressure
Sustained rise in pressure, shifting to a fall
Sustained fall in pressure, shifting to a rise
Means this:
Important!
To ensure correct barometric pressure change indicator operation, enable it in a location where the altitude is constant (such as a lodge, camp area, or on the ocean).
A change in altitude causes a change in air pressure. Because of this, correct readings are impossible. Do not take readings while ascending or descending a mountain, etc.

Counting Steps

If you are wearing the watch correctly, the pedometer will count your steps as you walk or engage in your normal daily activities.
Important!
Since this watch’s pedometer is a wrist-worn device, it may detect non­step movements and count them as steps. Also, abnormal arm movements while walking may cause a miss count of steps.
Getting Ready
To enable the most accurate step count, wear the watch with the face on the outside of your wrist and tighten the band securely. A loose band may make it impossible to obtain correct measurement.

Q3
If your phone is unable to receive a signal because you are outside its service range or for some other reason, the watch may not be able to display the correct time. If this happens, connect the phone to its network and then adjust the time setting.
Altitude Measurement
Readings produce different results at
Q1
the same location. Watch readings are different from altitude information available from other sources. Correct altitude readings are not possible.
Relative altitude is calculated based on changes in barometric pressure measured by the watch’s pressure sensor. This means that barometric pressure changes can cause readings taken at the same location to be different. Also note that the value displayed by the watch may be different from the actual elevation and/or sea level elevation indicated for the area where you are located. When using the watch’s altimeter while mountain climbing, it is recommended that you regularly calibrate its readings in accordance with local altitude (elevation) indications.
Calibrating Altitude Readings (Offset)
l
Following a relative altitude reading,
Q2
the watch’s second hand points to 9 o’clock.
The second hand will move to 9 o’clock if a reading is outside the allowable altitude measurement range (-700 m to 10,000 m (-2,300 to 32,800 feet)). If [ERR] is displayed, there may be a problem with the sensor.
