Review of the Seiko Orange Monster (SKX781)
The range is -10° C to 60° C, or 14° F to 140° F. Altimeter. There are two ways in which PAW1200 series can measure your altitude. First, it can use the watch's barometric reading to estimate your altitude based on preprogrammed values stored in the watch. The other technique is to allow you to specify a reference altitude. For instance, if you want to measure the height of a hill, you can set the reference altitude to 0 at the bottom, climb the hill, then take another reading at the top to tell you how high the hill is. Setting a reference altitude is generally a more accurate way to measure your altitude because it automatically takes current barometric conditions into consideration which can easily throw the first method off. In other words, with the second method, the watch is measuring the change in barometric pressure rather than trying to map a given barometric pressure to a preprogrammed altitude.The range of the watch's altimeter is -700 to 10,000 meters, or -2,300 to 32,800 feet (both meters and feet are supported). While in altimeter mode, the watch will measure your altitude every 5 seconds for the first three minutes, then every two minutes after that. Like barometer mode, the altimeter also has an altitude differential pointer which graphically indicates the difference between the current altitude, and the last altitude measurement taken. Altitude data storage. Not only does the PAW1200 series measure your altitude, but it will also let you save records of your ascents and descents. The watch stores three types of altitude records: periodic records (up to 40), a current session record, and a historical record. The breadth of altitude recording capabilities is too great to get into in detail here, but believe me when I say that they are extensive. In addition to 40 periodic records, the watch also records the month, day, and time of the session, your high altitude, low altitude.
