Setting the Secondary Tide
Important Note: It is recommended that you set the Secondary Tide at exactly
High Tide or exactly Low Tide.
Read the “Your Tide Watch” section on page 5 and refer to the General Features
and Components illustration on page 3 for more information on the Secondary
Tide indicators.
1. Once the Tide Indicator Hand is set at your primary location you are ready to
set the tide for a secondary location (a destination port as an example).
2. Refer to a Tide Chart for the second location and determine High or Low Tide
for today.
3. At exactly High Tide or exactly Low Tide at the second location rotate the
bezel (counterclockwise) so that the Tide Indicator Hand (red hand) points to
the appropriate tide.
Important Note: While the above is the most accurate way to set the Tide for
the second location it may not always be practical. See section “Alternate
Method for Setting the Secondary Tide” (page 13) for a more practical, but less
precise method for setting the second tide.
Reading the Primary Tide
1. Once the Tide Indicator Hand is set as detailed above, you can begin tracking
the tide in your primary location (Read the “Your Tide Watch” section on
page 5 and refer to the General Features and Components illustration on
page 3 for more information on the Primary Tide indicators.)
2. The Tide Indicator hand will rotate at a rate of approximately 12 hours and
25 minutes. Over this period of time the watch will indicate one High Tide
and one Low Tide per location for your primary location.
3. When the Tide Indicator Hand is in the blue zone (left side of the dial) the
tide is rising or “flooding”. When it’s in the red zone (right side of the dial)
the tide is falling or “ebbing”.
4. The numerals (4 and 2) in both the blue and red zones indicate the approxi-
mate number of hours before the next High Tide and Low Tide respectively.
The vertical lines within these zones indicate interval hours relative to the 4
and 2.
