Tide/Moon Data

In the Tide/Moon Data Mode, you can see the current tide and the current date’s Moon phase for your Home City. You can specify a date and view tide and Moon data for that date.

See “Moon Phase Indicator” for information about the Moon phase indicator and “Tide Graph” for information about the tide graph.

All of the operations in this section are performed in the Tide/Moon Data Mode.

Note

On some days, there are two high tides. With this watch, you can adjust the first high tide time only. The second high tide time for that day is adjusted automatically based on the first high tide time.

Reversing the Displayed Moon Phase

The left-right (east-west) appearance of the Moon depends on whether the Moon is north of you (northerly view) or south of you (southerly view) as you view it.

You can use the procedure below to reverse the displayed Moon phase so it matches the actual appearance of the Moon where you are located.

To determine the viewing direction of the Moon, use a compass to take a direction reading of the Moon at its meridian passage.

For information about the Moon phase indicator, see “Moon Phase Indicator”.

To reverse the displayed Moon phase

1. In the Tide/Moon Data Mode, hold down A until the hour digits start to flash.

2. Press C twice.

This will cause the Moon phase indicator to flash. This is the indicator switching screen.

3. Press D to toggle the Moon phase indicator between

the southerly view (indicated by ) and northerly

view (indicated by ).

Northerly view: Moon is north of you.

Southerly view: Moon is south of you.

4.When the Moon phase indicator setting is the way you want, press A to exit the switching screen and return to the Tide/Moon Data Mode screen.

It takes about two seconds to calculate tide graph data. You will not be able to display a setting screen while data calculation is in progress.

Moon age is calculated to an accuracy of ±1 day.

Tide Data

The tide graph that appears first when you enter the Tide/Moon Data Mode shows the data at 6:00 a.m. for your currently selected Home City on the current date, according to the Timekeeping Mode. From there you can specify another date or time.

If the tide data is not correct, check your Timekeeping Mode settings and correct

them if necessary.

The tide graph is displayed in the Timekeeping Mode, the Tide/Moon Data Mode,

and the Diving Mode.

If the watch is in the Diving Mode when there is a transition from one date to the

next, the tide graph contents will not change to reflect the data for the new date. If

you want to update the tide graph, exit and then re-enter the Diving Mode.

If you feel that the information shown by the tide graph is different from actual tide
