8: Tide Prediction
Tides are the alternating rise and fall
of sea level with respect to the land, as
influenced by the gravitational attraction
of the moon and sun. The moon plays
a larger role than the sun in producing
tides. The oceans and other bodies of
water which are affected by the earth-
moon system experience a tidal cycle
approximately every 12.42 hours. Many
other factors can influence the tide, such
as coastline configuration, local water
depth, winds and weather. Therefore a
tidal prediction can differ from the actual
times of tides.
There are two high tides and two low
tides per day. The two high tides and low
tides are not necessarily of equal height.
Tides differ in height on a daily basis.
The tide icons represent the cycle of low
tide (all white) thru high tide (all black).
9: Tide Mode
Before using the Tide Prediction feature, the user must enter the time of high tide or
low tide in Tide Setting Mode display. The watch predicts high and low tide based on
a 12.42 hour cycle and so the prediction is based on the high or low tide set into the
watch by the user.
• From Time Mode, Press Button S3 four times to enter Tide Mode
• Press Button S1 to show the next tide time (Date will change as you advance into
the future)
• Press Button S2 to toggle between High (HI) and Low (LO) tide
• From Tide Mode, Press & Hold the S4 Button (about 2 seconds) to enter Tide Setting
Mode
• Press S3 to select Tide Type (HI/LO), Hours & Minutes.
• Press Button S1 (increase) or S2 (decrease) to adjust & set flashing item (press and
hold to advance rapidly)
• Push Button S4 when setting is complete. If no button is pushed for 1 minute, the
watch will automatically exit setting mode.
10: Moon Phase
The Moon Phase Icon represents how much of the moon’s surface is illuminated
and visible. The visible portion of the moon is represented by the black color. The
calculation is based on a repetitive cycle of 29.5 days (average duration).
11: Watch Care
• Watch can be wiped clean with a cloth, lightly moistened with fresh water. Apply
mild soap if there are stubborn stains or marks. Never expose the watch to
strong chemicals such as gasoline, cleaning solvents, acetone, alcohol, or insect
repellents as they may damage the seals, case and finish.
• Never allow the watch to come into direct contact with personal care items such
as cologne, perfume, hair products, sun block creams or other toiletries as these
can cause deterioration of the plastic parts of the watch. If the watch comes into
contact with these or any other chemicals, wipe them off immediately with a soft,
dry cloth.
• This watch contains precise electronic sensors and components. Never
disassemble or attempt to repair or service your watch yourself. All repairs
and battery replacements should be done by a trained & certified Watch Repair
technician. Have dead batteries replaced promptly as dead batteries left in a watch
can leak and damage the components.
• Do not expose the watch to extreme temperature variances, extreme heat or cold,
or extended exposure to direct sunlight.
• Avoid severe impacts or drops onto hard surfaces, rough use and shocks.
• Store the watch in a safe, dry place when it is not being worn.
• Do not fasten the watch strap/band too tightly. You should be able to insert your
finger between the strap and your wrist.
• Your watch is designed to withstand certain pressures of water resistance and
is rated for a particular depth and water activity. 50 Meters is splash resistant
but not rated for water sports or immersion in water. Do not operate the buttons
underwater.
