After you are fi nished looking up the times you want, return the city code to what it was before you
changed it. If you input a latitude and longitude without changing the city code, re-input their original
settings. Failure to do so will cause the wrong time to be displayed.

Fishing conditions are extremely good during the new moon and the full moon phase of monthly Moon
movement, and very good during the fi rst quarter and last quarter phase.
•
In terms of daily Moon movement (hour angles), fi shing conditions are extremely good at the 00:00 and
12:00 hour angles, and very good at the 06:00 and 18:00 hour angles.
•
This means that best fi shing conditions exist at the 00:00 and 12:00 hour angles during the new moon
and full moon phase. Fishing time favorability is indicated by the fl ashing segment of the Fishing
Graph.
Important!
•
Note that the local season of the year, water temperature, and other factors also strongly affect fi shing
conditions. The indications by this watch are intended for general reference only.

Monthly Activity and Fishing Graph
Visible Moon Direction (Hour Angle)
The visible Moon direction shows the hour angle, which is expressed as 00:00 when the Moon direction is
overhead, 06:00 when it is 90° west from overhead, 12:00 when it is directly below, and 18:00 when it is
90° east from overhead. The moon revolves around the earth in an average Moon day of approximately
24 hours 50 minutes.

Viewing Favorable Fishing Times
Your watch displays favorable fi shing times that are determined based on the belief that the phase of the
Moon and the hour angle affects the feeding activities of fi sh, and indicates the degree of favorability for
that day in graphic form. A fi shing time alarm alerts when a fi shing time is reached.
•
Fishing times are when the visible Moon direction (hour angle) is directly overhead (Hour Angle: 00:00),
90° west from directly overhead (Hour Angle: 6:00), directly below (Hour Angle: 12:00), and 90° east
from directly overhead (Hour Angle: 18:00)
