WATER AND SHOCK RESISTANCE
If your watch is water-resistant, meter marking
(WR_M) is indicated.
*pounds per square inch absolute
WARNING: TO MAINTAIN WATER-RESISTANCE,
DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS OR PULL OUT
THE CROWN UNDER WATER UNLESS YOUR
WATCH IS INDICATED AS 200 METER WATER-
RESISTANT.
1. Watch is water-resistant only as long as crystal,
crown and case remain intact.

ENGLISH
HOW TO START YOUR WATCH
To start your watch remove the plastic guard from
under the crown, then press the crown in against the
case.The second hand will begin advancing in one-
second intervals.
Some deep-depth water-resistant watches require
the setting crown to be screwed in to secure water-
resistance.If your watch case has a protrusion with
screw threads,the crown must be screwed in after
setting the watch.
To screw in, push the crown firmly against the
threaded protrusion and hold in while turning the
crown clockwise.Continue to screw in the crown
until it is tight. You will need to unscrew the crown
(counter-clockwise) before pulling it out the next time
you want to set your watch.

TO MEASURE THE TIME REMAINING:
Set the triangle to the hour or minute position when
you wish to complete the activity,and check the
watch periodically for progress towards that goal.
In the illustration shown on the previous page on the
right you can stop when the minute hand reaches
the 20 minutes past the hour position.
31
ENGLISH
ELAPSED TIME RING
If your watch is equipped with a rotatable outer ring
on the face,with numbers corresponding to minutes,
you can use this Elapsed Time Ring to time an activity
from the start, or to mark the ending time for the
duration of an activity.
TO TIME AN ACTIVITY FROM THE START:
Set the Start/Stop triangle at the time (hour or
minute) when you start the activity (As shown on the
left in the illustration shown below). At completion,
you can see how long the activity took.
30
ENGLISH

COMPASS RING
If your watch is equipped
with a movable ring around
the dial marked at the letters
“N”, “E”, “W”, “S” (for the four
compass directions) or com-
pass degrees,you can use this fea-
ture to find an approximate compass
directional reading.
1) Lay the watch on a flat surface,
or hold it so that the face is
parallel to the ground.
2) Locate the sun and point the
hour hand at the sun.
3) In the A.M., rotate the ring until the “S” (south)
marker is halfway between the hour hand and
12:00 (after the hour hand or within the shortest
distance between the hour hand and 12:00).
4) In the P.M., rotate the ring until “S” is before the
hour hand and halfway between the hour hand
and 12:00.
33
ENGLISH
TACHYMETER RING
The tachymeter feature can be used to measure
speed in miles per hour (MPH), nautical miles per
hour (knots) or kilometers per hour (KPH) using the
sweep second hand and the scale on the wall above
the watch face. You need to know the actual dis-
tance you are covering in miles or km.
Start the chronograph with the second hand at zero
(the twelve o’clock position). Within the first minute,
the second hand will point to the rate for a one-mile
(or one kilometer) course: if it takes 45 seconds,the
hand will point to 80 at that position – 80 MPH or 80
KPH.
If within the first minute,a distance greater than one
mile or kilometer is covered, multiply the tachymeter
number by the distance to get the actual rate: if you
went 1.2 miles in 45 seconds,multiply the 80 by
1.2 – 96 MPH.
