Checking Changes in
Barometric Pressure Over
Time
Your watch shows a graph of barometric
pressure readings taken at two-hour intervals.
You can view barometric pressure readings
for the past 42 hours. The square (
far right of the graph indicates the latest
barometric pressure reading.

Predicting Upcoming Weather
●
A trend
Means this:
like this:
Rising barometric pressure,
which indicates that upcoming
weather probably will be fair.
Falling barometric pressure,
which indicates that upcoming
weather probably will be bad.
Note
Large changes in barometric pressure
●
and/or temperature can cause past
data readings to be plotted outside of
the visible area of the graph. Though
plots are not visible, the data is still
maintained in watch memory.

display shows the current measured value,
and a graphic indicator of the differential
between the automatically measured current
value and the latest value measured at two-

Example: Barometric pressure differential of
-3 hPa (approximately -0.09 inHg)

Sudden 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/Temperature 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
Means 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
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.
