Seiko 7K32 manual Barometer hand 2 indicates

[Ex.2] 949hPa

Barometer hand “1” indicates the position slightly before “940”. Take care not to read it as “950”.

〈To know the current atmospheric pressure: 5 second-interval measurement for 5 minutes〉

・The watch automatically measures the time at 10-minute intervals, and the barometer hands keeps indicating the same measurement for 10 minutes.

Barometer hand “2” indicates “9”.

・5-second interval measurement mode is useful in case you wish to know the current atmosperic pressure or in case the atmospheric pressure changes greatly in a short time.

・The 5-second interval measurement mode can be started only by pressing button C. It continues operating for 5 minutes.

(1) Press button C to start the 5-second interval measurement mode.

As button C is pressed, the watch measures the atmospheric pressure immediately. After the measurement is shown, a confirmation sound will beep.

(2) The watch will resume the 10-minute interval measurement in 5 minutes.

※To continue the 5-second interval measurement, press button C again.

※If button C is pressed successively, the 5-second interval measurement continues for 5 minutes after the button is pressed lastly.

[To cancel the 5-second interval measurement mode]

・To cancel the 5-second interval measurement mode, press button B to recall the minimum atmospheric pressure retained in memory. (For details, refer to “How to recall the minimum atmospheric pressure”.)

※When barometer hand “2” indicates greater numbers such as “9”, barometer hand “1” gets close to the next graduation of the scale. In the example above, take care not to read the indication as “959”.

※When barometer hand “2” indicates smaller numbers such as “0”, barometer hand “1” may seem to indicate the position slightly before a graduation. For example, take care not to mistake “950” for “940”.

〈How to recall the minimum atmospheric pressure/maximum approximate altitude〉

・The watch automatically retains in memory the minimum atmospheric pressure measured, and it can be recalled as required.

・On the sea, this function is useful when you encounter an atmospheric depression.

・On land, this function serves as the record of the maximum approximate altitude when you climb a mountain.

・The minimum atmospheric pressure in memory can be erased as required.

(1)Press button B to recall the minimum atmospheric pressure in memory. The two barometer hands move to indicate it, and the confirmation sound beeps.
