THERMOMETER

When worn on wrist, thermometer reading is affected by body heat. For more accurate readings, remove watch and put in shade for at least several minutes.

Watch can measure water temperature also, if sub- merged. Be sure to select temperature display before placing watch in water, as buttons should not be pressed when watch is underwater.

Thermometer readings are taken every minute, more frequently, if temperature is changing.

If the compass is calibrated near such objects, it will only
