Tissot tell you that the fake watch is available for working with one year in a low-light circumstance if it is completely charged and used sparingly. i have no idea about this movement on eta’s site and trust the user’s manual for this. to begin with, the digital functions were not intuitive to navigate and i had to get the manual out a few times to ensure that i understood the abbreviations. however, i’m just the one who doesn’t read the instructions carefully unless it’s necessary.
press and hold the button at 3 o’clock to start up the touch functions, you’ll see t-touch flash at the top of the digital window when you operate it. now, all you do is touch the crystal under the word matching the function you want to use.
the hands will move from 11 to 1 to show the shift in pressure or trend. it is sensing low pressure or cloud cover when the hands point to 11. as the pressure rises and clouds clear, the hands will move toward the 1 o’clock marker. this function seems to be a guide at the first time, but you can also look up at the clouds.
tap at 2 o’clock and get a barometric altimeter, displaying the altitude regarding to mean sea level using the absolute atmospheric pressure mentioned earlier. there’s an altitude difference reading as well, so you can use to measure your assent or decent.
the digital display can show atmospheric pressure values clearly. absolute atmospheric pressure is the real pressure at the time and place of measurement, and cannot be selected. relative pressure can be set on the watch and relies on your location relative to sea level.
tap at the 4 o’clock for the chronograph, 8 and 10 for the alarm and timer and you got normal ironman options, while the compass at 6 o’clock is really fantastic. the alarm function had two alarm settings and a small detail that i appreciated. the alarm would sound, and wait few seconds before going off repeatedly. this is so nice for the reminder without the obnoxious repeat.
