This watch has five Day Counter records, each of which can be assigned up to 8
characters of text and a target date. Whenever the date specified by a day counter
matches the date of the Timekeeping Mode (regardless of the day counter’s year
setting), the DAYS indicator flashes on the Timekeeping Mode and Dual Time Mode
screen. In the Day Counter Mode, the DAYS indicator flashes on the screen of the
particular day counter whose date matches the date of the Timekeeping Mode.
