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)
