Review of the MTM Special Ops Watch

All measurements continue to be updated for 20 seconds after the first measurement is displayed at which point the last measurement remains visible. Barometer. The PAW1200 series can measure the barometric pressure, and display it in both hectoPascals (millibars) and inches of mercury for us yanks. The range is between 260 hPa and 1100 hPa (7.65 inHg to 32.45 inHg). While in barometer mode, the PAW1200 series also displays a barometric pressure graph which charts the pressure over the last 30 hours (measurements are taken at the top of each even-numbered hour). Positive slopes (going up from left to right) generally indicate improving weather while negative slopes (going down from left to right) generally indicate deteriorating weather. While in barometric mode, the secondary LCD is used as a pressure differential pointer which indicates the relative difference between the current barometric reading, and the previous reading. Thermometer. The barometric pressure and the temperature are displayed together on the PAW1200 series. While in barometer mode, the temperature is displayed below the barometric pressure, and can be configured to use either Celsius or Fahrenheit. total ascent, total descent, and your relative altitude change. Digital compass. The PAW1200 series has a built-in digital compass which will indicate magnetic north (or geographic north, if you adjust the calibration for your magnetic declination).
