Tide/Moon Data

In the Tide/Moon Data Mode, you can see the tide at a specified time for the tide site you selected 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

•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.

•You can view the current tide and moon age graph in the Timekeeping Mode.

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 tide site on the current date, according to the Timekeeping Mode. From there you can specify another time on the same date.

•If the tide data is not correct, check your Timekeeping Mode settings and correct them if necessary. See “To configure tide site settings” for more information.

•If you feel that the information shown by the Tide Graph is different from actual tide conditions, you need to adjust the high tide time. See “Adjusting the High Tide Time” for more information.

Moon Data

The moon phase and moon age information that appears first when you enter the Tide/Moon Data Mode shows the data at noon for your currently selected Home City on the current date, according to the Timekeeping Mode. After that you can specify another date to view data.

•If the moon data is not correct, check your Timekeeping Mode settings and correct them if necessary.

•If the moon phase indicator shows a phase that is a mirror image of the actual moon phase in your area, you can use the procedure under “Reversing the Displayed Moon Phase” to change it.

Tide/Moon Data Screens

In the Tide/Moon Data Mode, press A to toggle between the tide data screen and the moon data screen.

•When you display the Tide Data Screen, it initially shows tide data for 6:00 a.m.. Use the Tide Data Screen to specify the Tide Data time. You can press D to change the displayed time in one-hour increments. The Tide Data time is scrolled within the current date only. Scrolling past midnight does not change the date.

•Use the Moon Data Screen to specify the Tide/Moon Data date. You can press Dto change the displayed date in one-day increments. Pressing D will display the year of the displayed date.

Adjusting the High Tide Time

Use the following procedure to adjust the high tide time within a particular date. You can find out high tide information for your area from a tide table, the Internet, or your local newspaper.

and “Radio-controlled Atomic Timekeeping Precautions”.

•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”.
