Operation Guide 3173 3246
Specifi cations
Accuracy at normal temperature: ±15 seconds a month
Timekeeping: Hour, minutes, seconds, p.m. (P), year, month, day, day of the week
Time format: 12-hour and 24-hour
Calendar system: Full Auto-calendar pre-programmed from the year 2000 to 2099
Other: 3 display formats (Day of the week, Year, Barometric pressure graph); Home City code (can be 
assigned one of 48 city codes); Standard Time / Daylight Saving Time (summer time)
Digital Compass: 20 seconds continuous measurement; 16 directions; Angle value 0° to 359°; Four 
direction pointers; Calibration (bidirectional, northerly); Magnetic declination correction; Bearing 
Memory
Barometer:
Measurement and display range:
 
260 to 1,100 hPa (or 7.65 to 32.45 inHg)
Display unit: 1 hPa (or 0.05 inHg)
Measurement timing: Daily from midnight, at two hour intervals (12 times per day); Every fi ve seconds 
in the Barometer/Thermometer Mode
Other: Calibration; Manual measurement (button operation); Barometric pressure graph; Barometric 
pressure differential pointer
Thermometer:
Measurement and display range: –10.0 to 60.0°C (or 14.0 to 140.0°F)
Display unit: 0.1°C (or 0.2°F)
Measurement timing: Every fi ve seconds in the Barometer/Thermometer Mode
Other: Calibration; Manual measurement (button operation)
Altimeter:
Measurement range: –700 to 10,000 m (or –2,300 to 32,800 ft.) without reference altitude
Display range: –10,000 to 10,000 m (or –32,800 to 32,800 ft.)
 
Negative values can be caused by readings produced based on a reference altitude or due to 
atmospheric conditions.
Display unit: 5 m (or 20 ft.)
Current Altitude Data: 5-second intervals for 1 hour (0’05), or 5-second interval for fi rst 3 minutes 
followed by 2-minute interval for next 24 hours (2’00)
Altitude Memory Data:
Manually saved records: 25 (altitude, date, time)
Auto saved values: Two sets (memory areas) each of high altitude and its measurement date and 
time, low altitude and its measurement date and time, total ascent and its save start date and 
time, total descent and its save start date and time
Other: Reference altitude setting; Altitude graph; Altitude differential; Altitude auto measurement 
method (0’05 or 2’00)
Bearing Sensor Precision:
Direction: Within ±10°
 
Values are guaranteed for a temperature range of –10°C to 40°C (14°F to 104°F).
North pointer: Within ±2 digital segments

 Values are guaranteed for a temperature range of –10°C to 40°C (14°F to 104°F).
 Precision is lessened by strong impact to either the watch or the sensor, and by temperature extremes.
Temperature Sensor Precision:
±2°C (±3.6°F) in range of –10°C to 60°C (14.0°F to 140.0°F)
Sunrise/Sunset: Sunrise time and sunset time for specifi c date, Daylight pointers
World Time: 48 cities (31 time zones)
Other: Daylight Saving Time/Standard Time
Stopwatch:
Measuring unit: 1/100 second
Measuring capacity: 23:59' 59.99"
Measuring modes: Elapsed time, split time, two fi nishes
Countdown Timer:
Measuring unit: 1 second
Countdown start time setting range: 1 minute to 24 hours (1-hour increments and 1-minute 
increments)
Alarms: 5 Daily alarms; Hourly time signal
Illumination: EL Backlight (electro-luminescent panel); Selectable illumination duration (approximately 1 
second or 3 seconds); Auto Light Switch (Full Auto EL Light operates only in the dark)
Other: Battery power indicator; Power Saving; Low-temperature resistance (–10°C/14°F); Button 
operation tone on/off
Power Supply: Solar cell and one rechargeable battery
Approximate battery operating time: 6 months (from full charge to Level 4) under the following 
conditions:
 Watch not exposed to light
 Internal timekeeping
 Display on 18 hours per day, sleep state 6 hours per day
 1 illumination operation (1.5 seconds) per day
 10 seconds of alarm operation per day
 10 digital compass operations per week
 1 hour of altimeter measurement at 5-second interval, once per month
 2 hours of barometric pressure measurement per day
Frequent use of illumination runs down the battery. Particular care is required when using the auto 
light switch.
