Welcome
REACTOR watches were conceived,
designed and built to withstand the real
world of sport enthusiasts. We are very
proud of what we have accomplished
and we are excited to welcome you to
our ever-growing family.
While your REACTOR watch is built for
maximum durability, it should ALWAYS be
rinsed thoroughly after use in salt water.
IMPORTANT!
Tide watches are not intended to be used
for navigation purposes. Local NOAA tide
charts should be used when absolute
accurate tide information is necessary.
The tide data used in this watch is
derived from the best data available
today, but its accuracy may vary by
location, time of year, weather condition,
and settings performed by the user.

Setting Analog Time
Your Graviton watch is fitted with a
screw-down crown to improve water
resistance. To set the analog time,
unscrew the crown by turning counter
clockwise until the crown pops away
from the case. Pull crown out gently
until it clicks and set the time. Push
crown back into case and screw down
firmly clockwise to ensure a good seal.
Check crown regularly for tightness.

Setting Digi Time & Date
In normal Time mode, press and hold A
to enter set mode. Push C or D to change
the hour, then push B to change set
mode to minutes, seconds, year, month
and day, using C and D to change each as
needed. Push A to exit set mode.
Note on daylight savings time
If you live in an area that uses daylight
savings time (DST), it is CRITICAL to the
proper functioning of the tide system to
use the DST indicator on the watch and
NOT set the time ahead one hour using
the set function. Always set the watch to
standard time, then actiavte or deactivate
DST mode by pushing the C button while
in normal time mode. A DST indicator
will appear under the seconds display.

Tide Mode Methodology
Graviton has been programmed with
tide chart accurate information for 275
locations around the world through
2016. Different tide charts for the
same locations will tend to vary a bit
depending on their prediction criteria,
but Graviton should provide you with
more than acceptable accuracy for all
programmed locations. In addition
Graviton provides an offset of ± 180
minutes to allow you to add your specific
location if it is not in the database.
Graviton allows you to store your
four favorite locations into short term
memory for quick access. Location
# 1, (HOME) is linked to the graph
in the time mode, showing the next 3
upcoming tides and relative tide level.
Location 2, 3 and 4 can be accessed in
the tide mode.

Tide Mode - Set Locations
From the time mode, push B to enter
tide mode. HOME will display briefly and
then change to the name of your home
beach. This beach drives the chart and
tide time information that is displayed in
normal time mode (see following pages).
Push and hold A to enter set mode. The
country or U.S. state of your current
home beach will display. Push C and D
to cycle through the states and countries

in memory. When you reach the desired
state or country, push B to enter BEACH
mode, then push C and D again to cycle
through the beaches. When the desired
beach is located, if no offset is needed,
push A to select and exit set mode. Push
D to advance to BEACH 2 and repeat
location setting procedure. Repeat for
BEACH 3 and BEACH 4 if desired.
See the complete location list at
Tide Mode - Offset Feature
If the beach you want isn’t programmed
into the watch, you can still get fairly
accurate tide info using the offset feature.
Complete the location setting previously
described to choose the closest beach
from the database. After locating the
beach, push B to enter offset mode and
enter a time offset, up to ±180 mins.,
using information from your local tide
chart. Push A to select and exit set mode.

Tide Mode - Future Tides
While in tide mode, you can check tides
for a date other than today for any of
the beaches loaded into one of the four
memory positions. Choose either HOME,
or BEACH 2, 3 or 4, then push and hold
button C. The location name will change
to the date. Press C to advance one day
into the future, D to go back a day. Each
press changes the date by one day. Push
and hold C again to return to today.
Confused?
While the Graviton is a very advanced
watch, it does take some time to learn
all of its capabilities. More detailed
instructions, along with many more
illustrations, are on our website.
And of course, if you still need a
little more help, our staff is available
M-F from 8-5 Pacific to answer any
questions. Call us at 800-291-6600.

Tide Info in Time Mode
It is important to note the difference
between tide info displayed in TIME
mode and TIDE mode. TIDE mode
always displays the tides for the date
selected, even if those tides have passed.
In TIME mode, the next three tides for
the HOME beach are displayed, even if
one or more of those tides occur on the
next day.
Time mode always displays the next 3 tides.
Tide mode displays tides for a given date.

The Tide Graph
The graph displays a lot of information
quickly, if you know how to read it. First,
the left edge of the graph always shows
the tide state right now. Each block is
30 minutes in the future. At a glance
you can see whether the tide is rising or
falling, and how far away the next peak
is. The distance of the peak from the
center of the graph shows relative tide
height from the annual mean.
Tide state at current time.
The graph does not correlate
to the tide time data below it.
Each block represents 30 minutes.
Low tide in approx. two hours.
High tide is at or near annual peak.
Low tide is average.
