USe
This watch is designed to be worn on your wrist for mountain sports (hiking,
mountain-biking, etc). It is for telling the time and measuring time periods, using
the stopwatch function. It features various measuring instruments (barometer,
altimeter, compass) which enable you to position yourself better and give you
indications on outside environmental conditions.
PReCAUTIOnS FOR USe
Altimeter/barometer: altimetry is not an exact science. It entails interpreting
variations in atmospheric pressure. An altimeter is above all a barometer. As
a consequence, a variation in altitude may change the barometric pressure
displayed and a change in the weather may change the altitude displayed.
Please follow the advice in barometer mode and altitude mode.
• Handle the watch with care - do not drop it or subject it to strong impacts.
• Do not dismantle the watch. This would void the warranty and could cause
damage and loss of waterproong.
• Please recalibrate the watch’s altitude or atmospheric pressure after swimming
or diving, following the indications in altimeter mode or barometer mode.
• Read the instructions carefully before use. Keep the instructions for the entire
life of the watch.
• Do not subject the watch to extreme temperatures. If the watch is exposed to
direct sunlight for long periods of time, the display may darken temporarily, but
will go back to normal once it has cooled down again.
• Only clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use detergents, which risk damaging
the watch equipment.

This watch uses a CR2032 battery.
Please note: if you note that the display is ashing unusually or doesn’t appear
to be working correctly, this usually means that the watch battery is low and
needs to be replaced.
We recommend that you take the watch to a DECATHLON specialist to have
the battery replaced. If you change the battery yourself, you risk damaging the
seal, thus impairing the waterproof design as well as voiding your warranty.

Using the compass:
When you enter compass mode, the word COMP is displayed for several
seconds then a small COMP symbol will be present throughout the use of this
mode. The reading direction (e.g.: NNW for North north west) and the azimuth in
degrees are displayed. The reading equals 12 o’clock on the watch.
The measurement displayed incorporates the declination correction, which is
the correction between the geographic north pole and the magnetic north pole.
It is very important to calibrate it before starting.
WARNING: in order that measurements are reliable it is very important that
you ensure that the plane of the screen is perfectly horizontal. Otherwise the
measurements will not be correct.
Like all compasses, this watch is sensitive to magnetic elds. It is designed
to operate outdoors, away from all metal parts and magnetic sources (pay
particular attention to watches, keys, table legs, power lines, computers and
mobile telephones). Again, measurements will not be correct if you do not
observe this instruction.
Furthermore, before any meaningful use of the compass, you must calibrate it.
WARNING: the compass function uses a lot of energy. To save the battery, it
will only be activated for around ten seconds before the display turns off (- - -).
However, it is possible to reactivate measurement by pressing A.
You can also hold down A for as long as you like. In this case, the direction will

WARNING:
• Weather forecasting is not an exact science! No professional institute in the
world is capable of 100% certainty. The forecasts given by the watch should
be taken as an indication. If you have to make a major or dangerous trip
(sea, mountains), conrm the MW600’s predictions by contacting your local
meteorological institute.
Furthermore, at sea and in the mountains, climatic conditions can change
extremely rapidly, creating life-threatening conditions. Be prepared and
extremely careful.
• Meteorological predictions are given at 6am, and will only be reliable if the
barometer has been functioning correctly for at least the last 12 hours.
• View 1 : Barometric pressure display.

Press A to change the units of the barometric pressure value and hold it down
until the pressure unit (mbar or inHg) stops ashing to go from mbar to inHg
and vice versa. Press B to change between the barometric pressure values and
current values.
To convert pressure to inches of Mercury, use the following formula:
Pressure in inches of Mercury [inHg] = Pressure in millibars [mbar]/33.9
• View 2 : Temperature display.
In this view the watch displays sea level and local pressure values and
temperature. Change the units between (°C) and (°F) by holding down A.
WARNING: body temperature may inuence the value displayed. To get a
precise idea of the outside temperature, you need to take the watch off and
put it on an ambient temperature surface. Leave the watch to come to ambient
temperature (around 10 minutes) and the display will stabilise.
NB: The temperature varies in intervals of 0.1°C and the variations will be
recorded very precisely.
However, the accuracy of the absolute gure will be lower (1 to 2°C).
Comparing the display with another thermometer may lead to errors, as the
value depends on the calibration of the two devices.
• View 3 : Displaying local pressure.
The main display in this view shows the local pressure.
The watch measures altitude and atmospheric pressure using the same
sensor.
It cannot therefore determine whether the atmospheric pressure changes
because of a change in altitude or in climatic conditions.
You therefore need to calibrate the barometer to the altitude of the measurement
site.

4- ALTIMeTeR MODe (ALTI)
In this mode the watch measures and displays local
altitude in relation to sea level.
This mode can also graphically display recent variations
in altitude.
Altitude is displayed in metres (m) or in feet (FT).
The sensor’s accuracy makes possible a resolution of
1m (or 1 foot) and measurements from -700m (-2296ft) to
+9000m (29520ft).
WARNING: Altitude is calculated on the basis of atmospheric pressure
measurements. If changes in the weather cause variations in pressure, altitude
will be measured incorrectly as a result, and it is therefore necessary to calibrate
it very frequently, particularly when the weather is changeable.
Similarly, the accuracy of altitude measurements is indicative. Even though
the pressure sensor is very accurate, climatic factors – even imperceptible
ones – affect value’s accuracy (1mbar of pressure difference equals around
8m altitude difference). You therefore need to put the measured value into
perspective yourself.

This view gives a “simple” display of local altitude.
• View 5 : 24h altitude recall.
This view allows you to recall pressure values over the last 24h.
To do this, keep pressing A to display altitude in 1h intervals.
WARNING: Accumulated altitude difference is calculated mathematically.
If the display oscillates between two values, the cumulative value will increase
every time it oscillates between the lowest and the highest value.
The accumulated difference will therefore be more accurate when you climb
steadily than if you proceed at a more or less constant altitude.
Calibrating measurements.
The watch measures altitude and atmospheric pressure using the same sensor.
It cannot therefore determine whether the atmospheric pressure changes
because of a change in altitude or in climatic conditions.
You therefore need to calibrate the altimeter every time weather conditions
change.
Calibrating altitude:
• Go to the display mode which corresponds to view 1.
• Hold down D until SET HOLD stops ashing and CURRENT ashes.
• Press C to conrm the local altitude setting. Press A to increase or B to
decrease its value.
• Once you have set the altitude, press C to return to main altimeter settings and
proceed in the same way for:
• The 3 pre-programmable altitudes: LOCAL 1, 2 and 3. These 3 values
allow you to enter known altitudes of landmarks which you come across during
your trip. In this way you can switch to a reference altitude and thus improve
the reliability of your watch’s measurements. Please note: if you exit setting
mode by pressing D at one of the local altitudes, this altitude will be taken as the
default altitude.
• Restarting accumulated altitude.
• The maximum altitude reached during your trip.
• Triggering an alarm set to an altitude.
If no button is pressed for 2-3 minutes, the display will automatically return to
normal display.
Storing climbing speed and waypoints in the memory:
• Hold down until the words LOG 1 stop ashing to store the altitude of the
waypoint and climbing speed in the memory.
