Tachymeter Ring; Compass Ring - Timex W223 Manual

ENGLISH
TO MEASURE THE TIME REMAINING:
Set the triangle to the hour or minute position when
you wish to complete the activity, and check the
watch periodically for progress towards that goal.
In the illustration shown on the previous page on the
right you can stop when the minute hand reaches
the 20 minutes past the hour position.

TACHYMETER RING

The tachymeter feature can be used to measure
speed in miles per hour (MPH), nautical miles per
hour (knots) or kilometers per hour (KPH) using the
sweep second hand and the scale on the wall above
the watch face. You need to know the actual dis-
tance you are covering in miles or km.
Start the chronograph with the second hand at zero
(the twelve o'clock position). Within the first minute,
the second hand will point to the rate for a one-mile
(or one kilometer) course: if it takes 45 seconds, the
hand will point to 80 at that position – 80 MPH
or 80 KPH.

ENGLISH
If within the first minute, a distance greater than one
mile or kilometer is covered, multiply the tachymeter
number by the distance to get the actual rate: if you
went 1.2 miles in 45 seconds, multiply the 80 by
1.2 – 96 MPH.

COMPASS RING

If your watch is equipped
with a movable ring around
the dial marked at the let-
ters "N", "E", "W", "S" (for
the four compass direc-
tions) or compass degrees,
you can use this feature to
find an approximate compass
directional reading.
1) Lay the watch on a flat surface,
or hold it so that the face is
parallel to the ground.
2) Locate the sun and point the
hour hand at the sun.
