G Using Timer
•Timer can be set up to 60 minutes in units of one minute. Buzzer will sound for 5 seconds when countdown is up and display will return to initial set time.
To set Timer
Press ◯B button in Timer Mode
when set time is flashing. Set time digits decrease in units of one minute. Press and hold ◯B button for the rapid change of digits.
To use Timer
1)Press ◯A button. Timer starts countdown from set time.
2)Press ◯A button to stop/restart Timer. EL Light turns On when ◯B button is pressed while Timer is running.
3)Press ◯B button when Timer is stopped to return to initial set time.
•If switched to another mode from initial Timer setting, Timer running or Timer stop mode and then reset to Timer, function will return to the mode set at the time of switching. However, if Timer countdown is finished, the watch will return to initial Timer setting.

8.How To Use The Rotating Bezel (Some models are not equipped with the rotating bezel)
Many yacht races are set in triangulated course layouts such as the one described here where the winner is the boat that navigates the designated course around the marks in the fastest time.
Direction: Navigational bearings are most often given in terms of degrees.
North: 0° East: 90° South: 180° West: 270°
StarBoard: The
Port: The
Using the rotating bezel (1)
1)Before a race, determine the direction of the wind from the direction and position of the windward marker. Line up the number representing the wind
direction (in degrees) on the bezel with the triangle (∆) mark at 12 o’clock. (Ex: northeasterly wind at 45°)
2)The course bearing from the windward mark to
the wing mark (starboard reach) is read off the bezel, in degrees, at the green triangle (∆) on the bottom of the left side of the dial.
3)The course bearing from the wing mark to the
leeward mark (port reach) is read off the bezel, in degrees, at the red triangle (∆) on the bottom right.
4)When sailing from the windward mark to the leeward mark, the small, white triangle at the bottom of the watch dial becomes the reference point for determining course bearings.
Note that the above explanation is only valid for times when the H angle is at 45°. At 60°, use the values lying above the red and green triangles; at 30°, use the values lying below the two triangles.
Using the rotating bezel (2) Most
To be in a position of being able to read the wind shift after the start of a race, make several
runs before the race matching your course as close as possible to the red (or green) bars on the left (or right) upper portion of the watch face.
Using the rotating bezel in the following way you can determine the angle between the start/finish line and the direction from which the wind is blowing. The start/finish line is usually set at right angles to the direction of the wind, but because the wind is always shifting direction, it is a rare occasion when a true 90° angle is met.
In this case, line up the white triangle at the 12 o’clock position on the watch with the direction from which the wind is blowing. Sail from one end of the start/finish line to the other, using the white lines marked (at 3 or 9 o’clock) on the watch to site your destination. If the course steered falls on the plus
(+)side of the white line, you are on a favourable heading to start the race when you cross the start/finish line.
