Timekeeping

This watch can keep track of the current time in up to three different time zones.

Home Time

• This is the time in the city where you normally use your watch (Home City). It is the

time displayed in the Timekeeping Mode.

Local Time

• This is the time in the city located in the time zone that is highlighted on the watch’s

world map (Local Time City).

World Time

• This is the time in the city you select in the World Time Mode (page E-47).

E-10

Read This Before You Set the Time and Date!

This watch is preset with a number of city codes, each of which represents the time zone where that city is located. When setting the time, it is important that you first select the correct city code for your Home City (the city where you normally use the watch). If your location is not included in the preset city codes, select the preset city code that is in the same time zone as your location.

• Note that all of the times for the World Time Mode city codes (page E-48) and Local

Time city codes (page E-18) are displayed in accordance with the time and date settings you configure in the Timekeeping Mode.

To set your Home City time and date

1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down A for about two seconds until the time zone

of the currently selected Home City starts to flash on the world map. This is the setting screen.

• The Home City code will also appear on the display. Release A immediately

after the Home City code appears. Keeping it depressed longer (about four seconds) will switch to the Local Time City setting screen, which is indicated when the Local Time City code is displayed.

Digital Compass/Thermometer

You can take direction readings and temperature readings in the Digital Compass/ Thermometer Mode. Direction readings are taken by the watch’s built-in magnetic bearing sensor and displayed as one of 16 directions. A temperature sensor is used for temperature readings.

• See “Digital Compass” on page E-26 for more information about the digital compass.

• See “Thermometer” on page E-41 for more information about the thermometer.

reading” on page E-27.

• For information about using the thermometer, see “To take a temperature

reading” on page E-42.

E-24

Digital Compass

The watch takes digital compass readings automatically whenever you enter the Digital Compass/Thermometer Mode. In addition, you can take readings manually by performing the procedure below.

• See “Magnetic North and True North” (page E-39) for information about the two types of

north. For information about maximizing digital compass accuracy, see “Calibrating the Bearing Sensor” (page E-33) and “Digital Compass Precautions” (page E-39).

E-26

• While the watch is taking compass readings, it

displays a direction angle and a direction indicator, both of which change dynamically when the watch is moved. After the compass operation is complete, the direction pointer disappears from the display, and the direction angle and direction indicator both show

”. Use the direction indicators marked around the compass dial to record the indicated direction. For details, see “Example: Determining your current position and your objective on a map” (page E-31).

CAL

• The
