Suunto MARINER | REGATTA | YACHTSMAN Barometer, What is the longest time I can set in the timer?

7.2.2 What is the longest time I can set in the timer?

The maximum range of the countdown timer is 23 hours 59 minutes and 59 seconds.

7.3 BAROMETER

7.3.1 What is the little box on the top left of the display?

It is the barometric trend indicator that shows the general direction of weather changes. The display is based on barometer measurements for the last 6 hours.

7.3.2Does the Wristop Computer show future trends in weather conditions?

No, the Wristop Computer continually accumulates data on barometric pressure existent within a 3 to 6 hour window and displays general barometric trends in weather based on the accumulated data.

7.3.3What does “absolute pressure” and “relative pressure” mean?

Absolute pressure is the actual pressure in any location at any given time. Relative pressure on the other hand equals the corresponding pressure at sea level for a certain altitude that you are at. For example, if you are at an altitude of 1,000 m/3,300 ft the absolute pressure normally is around 900 mbar/26.60 inHg. The relative pressure at sea level would then be around 1,013 mbar/29.90 inHg.

7.3.4 Is the Wristop Computer temperature compensated?

Yes, the Wristop Computer is temperature compensated, which means that for the temperature range specified (-5 to +140°F/-20 to +60°C), the instrument will show accurate pressure. Within this range, the temperature has no effect on the atmospheric pressure reading.

Temperature compensation does not, however, mean that the temperature reading isn’t at all effected by body heat. Body heat will affect the temperature reading, and to get the correct temperature reading of the environment remember to take the Wristop Computer off your wrist and wait about 15 minutes for it to stabilize and show the correct temperature of the surroundings.
