Product InformatIon

On land, mountains and valleys, on water, sea,
lake or river, or even in the air – the MINOX Wind­watch Pro II is the perfect product! With this high­ly versatile pocket sized measuring device from
MINOX, outdoor and active leisure fans can now
become owners of one of the smallest ‘weather
stations’ on the market today. Within seconds its
possible to measure wind speed, temperature,
atmospheric pressure, altitude and even humi­dity. This ultra-compact measuring instrument is
therefore perfect for those who need an accurate
estimation of the weather. An integrated watch
with timer and time control functions broaden
its overall use.

MINOX is renown for the miniaturization of high
quality optical instruments and fine precision
mechanical products. For all outdoor activities a
unique monocular and pocket binoculars with a
built-in altitude meter and handy but functional
measuring instruments have already been develo­ped. The Windwatch Pro II is the latest innovative
development of MINOX and is an indicator of the
ability of the company to produce quality product,
full of features and offering good value.

By just holding it up to the wind the integrated
impeller determines the current wind speed

every second and displays it on the illuminated
LC monitor either in mph, km/h, knots, m/s, ft/s or
Beaufort. The sapphire-mounted propeller reacts
so quickly that wind speeds of just 2 mph (3 km/h)
are registered. Average values and peak average
values can be displayed at the press of a button.
The simultaneously displayed outdoor tempera­ture is given in Centigrade and Fahrenheit, with a
measuring range from -24°C to +60°C

In extreme situations it is vital to keep track of
any changes in the atmospheric pressure which
indicate a change in the current weather. The in­tegrated barometer in the MINOX Windwatch Pro
II not only tells the current atmospheric pressure
hPa using graphic columns in the LC display, but
it also shows changes that have taken place over
the past 24, 12, 6 or 3 hours. By switching over,
the barometer becomes an altitude meter with
a measuring accuracy of +/- 1 m up to 10000
meters in altitude.

Using a highly accurate humidity sensor with fast
response, the Windwatch Pro II determines the
dewpoint (condensation of humidity) – this is con­sidered an important indicator for the forecast of
haze, fog or clouds.

Measuring just 11.9 x 5.8 x 1.9 cm the MINOX
Windwatch Pro II is a real lightweight and weighs
in at only 67 grams. It is water repellent making
it a reliable when out in rough weather. The
body has been designed to enhance both ease of
operation and ergonomic handling when taking
measurements. A slider protects the vertically
arranged sensors when they are not in use and
simultaneously serves as an On/Off switch.
