Timekeeping
Use the Timekeeping Mode to set and view the current
time and date. While Active Display is turned on, the watch
maintains a count that is incremented each time you angle
it towards your face for viewing, or when you otherwise
move your arm. The watch changes the Timekeeping
Mode current time display to one of six different styles
automatically in accordance with the value of the count.
•
Regardless of whether Active Display is turned on or off,
tilting the watch towards your face for viewing will cause
the display figures change size, rotate, or otherwise
change dynamically for approximately one second. The
way the display figures changes depends on the
currently selected display style.
