calculated automatically in accordance with the date you set.

Daylight Saving Time (DST)

Daylight Saving Time (summer time) advances the time setting by one hour
from Standard Time. Remember that not all countries or even local areas use
Daylight Saving Time.

Digital Compass

A built-in bearing sensor detects magnetic north and indicates one of 16
directions on the display. Direction readings are performed in the Digital
Compass Mode.
• You can calibrate the bearing sensor if you suspect the direction reading is
incorrect.
To enter and exit the Digital Compass Mode
12 o'clock position 1. While in the Timekeeping or in any of the other
sensor modes, press A to enter the Digital
Compass Mode.
• At this time, the watch will start a Digital
Compass operation. After about two
seconds, letters appear on the display to
indicate the direction that the 12 o'clock
position of the watch is pointing.
Timekeeping Mode time
• The direction reading on the display is updated each second for up to 20
seconds, after which measurement stops automatically.
• The ACT indicator flashes on the display while a measurement is in
progress.

• During measurement, the watch displays an angle value, a direction
indicator, and four direction pointers, which change dynamically when the
watch is moved. After measurement is complete, the angle value,
direction indicator, and four direction pointers are frozen in accordance
with the last measurement.
• The ACT indicator flashes on the display while a measurement is in
progress.
Note
• Note that taking a measurement
while the watch is not horizontal
(in relation to the horizon) can
result in large measurement error.
• The margin of error for the angle value is ±11 degrees. If the indicated
direction is northwest (NW) and 315 degrees, for example, the actual
direction can be anywhere from 304 to 326 degrees.
• Any ongoing direction measurement operation is temporarily paused while
the watch is performing an alert operation (daily alarm, Hourly Time Signal,
countdown timer alarm) or while illumination is turned on (by pressing L).
The measurement operation resumes for its remaining duration after the
operation that caused it to pause is finished.
• The following table shows the meanings of each of the direction
abbreviations that appear on the display.

taking direction readings.

Barometer/Thermometer

This watch uses a pressure sensor to measure air pressure (barometric
pressure) and a temperature sensor to measure temperature.
• You can calibrate the temperature sensor and the pressure sensor if you
suspect that readings are incorrect.
