4.1 Current Time Mode - Weather Forecast Feature
Weather Forecast Feature
! A special feature of the Watch is the coming
weather predicting function. It works by analyzing
the changes of the past air pressure.
How to Indicate the Coming Weather
Cloudy ! The Watch provides 4 different symbols to indicate
Sunny with sun the forecast weather, which are:
! Sunny
! Cloudy with Sun
! Cloudy
! Raining
! The symbols will only be shown in Current Time
and Dual Time Modes.
IMPORTANT: Since the Watch predicts the coming
weather by using the data of the changes in the air
pressure, a higher accuracy may result when the
user stays at the same altitude for at least 24 hours.
IMPORTANT: The Watch predicts the weather by
Cloudy Raining adopting general weather prediction principles, it is
NOT capable to reflect the dramatic changes of
weather within a very short period of time.
