If you leave the watch in the Moon/Tide Data, Alarm or Hand Setting Mode for two or three minutes without performing any operation, it automatically changes to the Timekeeping Mode. If you leave a screen with flashing digits on the display for two or three minutes without performing any operation, the watch automatically exits the setting screen. The indicator is displayed in all modes when the button operation tone is turned off. Holding down Cto turn the button operation tone on or off also causes the watch’s current mode to change. In any mode (except when a setting screen is on the display), hold down Cto toggle the button operation tone on ( not displayed) and off ( displayed). To turn the button operation tone on and off Even if you turn off the button operation tone, the alarm, Hourly Time Signal, and Countdown Timer Mode alarm all operate normally.
You can turn the button operation tone on or off as desired. The button operation tone sounds any time you press one of the watch’s buttons. When setting the lunitidal interval for this watch, use the time differential between the Moon’s transit over the meridian until high tide.
Both the time differential between the Moon’s transit over the meridian until high tide and the time differential between the Moon’s transit over the meridian until low tide are known as the “lunitidal interval”. Actual high tide occurs somewhat later, due to factors such as viscosity, friction, and underwater topography. Theoretically, high tide is at the Moon’s transit over the meridian and low tide is about six hours later. The greater the error in a particular Moon age, the greater the error in the resulting tide graph. Remember that the margin for error of the Moon age displayed by this watch is ☑ day.
The tide graph displayed by this watch is based on the current Moon age. The lunitidal interval differs according to your current location, so you must specify a lunitidal interval in order to obtain the correct tide graph readings. The tide graph of this watch indicates tidal movement based on the Moon’s transit over a meridian and the lunitidal interval. Tides rise and fall about every six hours. Tides are the periodic rise and fall of the water of oceans, seas, bays, and other bodies of water caused mainly by the gravitational interactions between the Earth, Moon and Sun. The current tide level is indicated by the displayed graphic segment. The standard monotone designs as well as the summer-like coloring of these new G-LIDE models are sure to appeal to both surfers and street fashion lovers the world over.The Tide Graph has six graphic segments, each of which indicates a different tide level. The three black, white, and bi-color versions come with a half-matte finish. An analog Tide Graph feature provides an intuitive readout of current time conditions when you need it. Just about everything about this watch is designed to support activities on the summer seas. Surfing-oriented functions include Tide Graph, Moon Data, and temperature measurement. The arrow shaped minute hand and the contrasting color of the analog hands provide at-a-glance readings even while paddling or waiting the next wave. Large hour markers, hour hand, and minute hand contribute to easy reading.
The new GAX-100 combination model provides the best of both analog and digital formats.
G-SHOCK G-LIDE has long been a favorite choice among the world's top surfers and street sports athletes, and these new additions for 2016 promise to maintain that tradition.
