Home Site Data
Moon phase, tide graph data, and Tide/Moon Data Mode data will not be displayed
properly unless Home Site data (UTC offset, longitude and lunitidal interval) is
configured correctly.
• The UTC offset indicates the time differential with Greenwich, England.
• The lunitidal interval is the time elapsing between the Moon’s transit over a meridian
and the next high tide at that meridian. See “Lunitidal Interval” (page E-47) for more
information.
• This watch displays lunitidal intervals in terms of hours and minutes.
• The “Site/Lunitidal Interval Data List” at the back of this manual provides UTC offset
and longitude information around the world.
• The following is the initial factory default Home Site data (Tokyo, Japan) when you
first purchase the watch and whenever you have the battery replaced. Change these
settings to match the area where you normally use the watch.
UTC offset (+9.0); Longitude (East 140 degrees); Lunitidal interval (5 hours,
