45 7.3 TIME 7.3.1 W hy do the segments on the cir cumference increase and decrease w hen I am in the Wa tch mode? The main function of the segments is related to the Compass mode, where a division into 36 segments is necessary due to the 360- degree scale of a compass. In the Watch mode, the segments show the advancement of seconds. Because the num[...]

46 7.4.4 W hat is the duration readout? The duration readout tells you how many hours and/or minutes the event recorded into the logbook lasted. For example, if you’re hiking from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. and the logbook is on during this time, the readout would show a duration of 05:00 hours. 7.4.5 W hat is the maximum capacity of total ver tical ascent[...]

This is the only way to get accurate altitude readings. 7.4.7 W hy does the vertical ascent/descent measur ement show different r eadings ev en though I am inside and staying in the same room? The resolution of the vertical ascent/descent rate is 1 m/1 ft whereas the reso[...]

48 7.5.4 W hat is temperature compensation? When the unit is tempera ture compens ated, the altitude measur ement of the unit is not affe cted by the temper ature of the unit itself. The unit can be worn on your wrist or placed on a table – it will in either case give you the proper altitude reading providing the weather conditions have not chang[...]

50 Now the altitude measurement error caused by an abnormal temperature gradient can be approximated as follows. If the sum of the temperature offsets from the normal temperatures determined at two different altitudes is 1 ºC, the altitude difference calculated by Wristop Computer is 0.2% off the real altitude difference (When using imperial units[...]

51 T able 3 shows an example in which the temperature offsets are negative. This time imperial units are used. The reference altitude is set at 3280 feet. At 9840 feet the altitude difference is 6560 feet and Wristop Computer shows 100 feet too much (-14 ºF * 6560 ft * 0.001 1/ºF = -100 ft). Y our actual altitude is thus 9740 ft. Lower point High[...]
