Moon Data
The Moon phase and Moon age information that appears first when you enter the
Tide/Moon Data Mode shows the data at noon for your currently selected Home City
on the current date, according to the Timekeeping Mode. After that you can specify
another date to view data.
• If the moon data is not correct, check your Timekeeping Mode settings and correct
them if necessary.
• The moon phase is displayed in the Timekeeping Mode, the Tide/Moon Data Mode,
and the Diving Mode.
• If the watch is in the Diving Mode when there is a transition from one date to the
next, the moon phase will not change to reflect the phase for the new date. If you
want to update the moon phase, exit and then re-enter the Diving Mode.
• If the moon phase indicator shows a phase that is a mirror image of the actual moon
phase in your area, you can use the procedure under “Reversing the Displayed
Moon Phase” (page E-34) to change it.

the actual appearance of the moon where you are located.
