Timekeeping

This watch features separate digital and analog
timekeeping. The procedures for setting the digital time
and analog time are different.

The Moon phase indicator shows the current Moon
phase in accordance with the current date as kept in the
Timekeeping Mode.

The tide graph shows tidal movements for the current
date in accordance with the current time as kept in the
Timekeeping Mode.

Important!

Be sure to configure the current time and date, and your
Home Site data (data for the site where you use the
watch) correctly before using the functions of this watch.
See “Home Site Data” for more information.

Resetting the seconds only (without changing the DST, hour, or minute setting)
causes the analog minute hand setting to be adjusted automatically.

See “Digital Time Daylight Saving Time (DST) Setting” below for details about the
DST setting.

The day of the week is displayed automatically in accordance with the date (year,
month, and day) settings.

Digital Time Daylight Saving Time (DST) Setting

Daylight Saving Time (summer time) advances the digital time setting by one hour

Home Site Data

Moon phase, tide graph data, and Moon/Tide Data Mode data will not be displayed
properly unless Home Site data (UTC differential, longitude, and lunitidal interval) is
configured correctly.

The UTC differential is a value that indicates the time difference between a
reference point in Greenwich, England and the time zone where a city is located.

The letters “UTC” is the abbreviation for “Universal Time Coordinated”, which is the
world-wide scientific standard of timekeeping. It is based upon carefully maintained
atomic (cesium) clocks that keep time accurately to within microseconds. Leap
seconds are added or subtracted as necessary to keep UTC in sync with the Earth’s
rotation.

The lunitidal interval is the time elapsing between the Moon’s transit over a meridian
and the next high tide at that meridian. See “Lunitidal Interval” for more information.

This watch displays lunitidal intervals in terms of hours and minutes.

The “Site/Lunitidal Interval Data List” provides UTC differential and longitude
information around the world.

The following is the initial factory default Home Site data (Tokyo, Japan) when you
first purchase the watch, and whenever you have the battery replaced. Change
these settings to match the area where you normally use the watch.

UTC differential (+9.0); Longitude (East 140 degrees); Lunitidal interval (5 hours,
20 minutes)

To configure Home Site data

1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down 

A

 until the

seconds start to flash, which indicates the setting
screen.

2. Press 

A

 again to display the UTC differential setting

screen.
