As it is an inverse relationship between altitude and barometric  
pressure, if I wake at the same or lower elevation I can be confident  
the atmospheric pressure has remained constant. If I rise to a higher  
altitude I need to be aware as there is a chance a low pressure is  
moving in.”

NOTE: The altimeter will display in either FT (feet) or M (meters)  
depending on which display unit you chose in Time Mode.  
See page 14 for information on setting units of measurement.  
-Conrad Anker  
World-Renowned Mountaineer  
ATTENTION: Your altimeter is sensitive to weather changes! Sudden  
changes in barometric pressure can change your altimeter reading by  
+/- 100 meters even if you have stayed in the same location. If  
possible, re-calibrate to a known altitude when drastic pressure  
changes occur.  
BAROMETER MODE  
Your watch includes information about current and sea level pressure, high or  
low barometric information, and changes in sea level pressure over the most  
recent 36 hours. These features are useful for understanding changes in  
weather.  
You only need to calibrate barometer OR altimeter, since they rely  
on the same pressure. See Calibration Mode on page 36 for more  
information.  
Operating the Barometer  
Once in BARO Mode, the watch automatically scrolls through:  
“Before I curl into my sleeping bag I note the current altitude and baro-  
metric pressure. In the few hours I sleep if I see a change in altitude or  
barometric pressure I can get an idea of the coming weather patterns.

the last 36 hours.  
The watch can predict the weather based on historical air pressure trends.  
Generally, if the air pressure is rising, the weather situation is considered to be  
improving and is indicated by the sun icon. If the air pressure trend is falling,  
then the weather situation is worsening and is indicated by showing the clouds  
and/or precipitation icons.  
Press and hold STOP/RESET: Reset  
accumulated barometer statistics to  
zero to clear the memory.  
NOTE: The barometer will display in either MB (millibars) or In Hg  
(inches of mercury) depending on which display unit you chose in  
Time Mode. See page 14 for information on setting units of  
measurement.  
When worn on your wrist, the temperature reading is affected by body heat and  
may differ from the actual temperature by 10 degrees or more. Long periods of  
exposure to direct sunlight may also affect accuracy. The watch can also measure  
the temperature in water, but make sure you don’t press any watch buttons under  
water or this will compromise the watch’s water-resistance.

NOTE: At low temperatures, the display could appear sluggish. Refer  
to page 9 for operating temperature range. Increase temperature  
surrounding watch to resume normal operation.  
COMPASS MODE  
The WS4watch includes an accurate digital compass that takes a reading  
every second when engaged and shows the compass reading as a number and  
a cardinal heading along with a virtual compass needle. You must calibrate the  
compass prior to first use and it’s also a good idea to calibrate it periodically to  
maintain more accurate readings. For more information, see Calibration Mode  
on page 36.

Calibrating the Compass  
When using the compass, it’s important to keep your wrist at a level, horizon-  
tal position to help make compass readings more accurate.  
NOTE: For more accurate temperature readings, try wearing the  
watch outside your jacket or clipping it to your belt or pack (ideally  
in an area not constantly exposed to the sun). You can also remove  
the watch from your wrist and put in shade for 15 to 30 minutes.  
For the most accurate readings, avoid calibrating the compass near large  
metallic objects (such as electronics, cars, filing cabinets, and  
anything else metal) since magnetic force in these objects may  
interfere with the magnetic field and give you inaccurate  
compass readings. Note that the Indiglo® night-light feature  
does not work while calibrating the compass.  
For information on calibrating your weather icon see Calibration Mode on  
page 36.  
Prior to calibrating the compass, remove the watch from your wrist, hold it in

CHRONO MODE  
Your watch includes a chronograph, which is a stopwatch function. The chrono  
can track up to 100 hours and 99 laps. The data you collect while running the  
chronograph can then be used to check your progress in Review Mode.  
(See page 30 for more information about Review Mode).  
ATTENTION: Calibration may fail if you rotate the watch too quickly or  
take longer than one minute to complete. Calibration may also fail if  
you are near objects that are magnetic.  
Using the Compass  
Most watch buttons have multiple functions in Chrono Mode. Use the table  
along with your watch to explore the options.

R and a number to indicate the timer is repeating and how many times it has  
repeated.  
TIMER MODE  
Your WS4watch includes a standard countdown timer that you can use for  
both outdoor and indoor activities. It can count down from a fixed time of up to  
100 hours and can repeat a countdown up to 99 times.  
Setting the Timer  
1. Press MODE until TIMER is shown.  
2. Press and hold SET to start.  
3. Press START/SPLIT (+) or STOP/RESET (-) to increase or decrease setting  
values for hours, minutes, seconds, and end action.  
4. Press MODE (NEXT) to advance to the next setting option.  
5. Press SET (DONE) to finish.  
TIP: The timer might be useful when you want to be alerted at the  
halfway point of an activity. For example, you go out knowing you  
only have about two hours to spend on a hike. You set the timer for  
60 minutes and when it beeps you know it’s time to turn around  
and start heading back to the trail head. Timer information is not  
connected to Review Mode.

NOTE: While setting the timer, quickly scroll through the setting values  
by holding down START/SPLIT (+) or STOP/RESET (-).  
NOTE: When you set the alarm, you automatically turn it on.  
Operating the Alarm  
To turn an alarm on or off without initiating the setting process, press START/SPLIT  
when you enter ALARM MODE. The alarm will sound for 20 seconds when it  
reaches a scheduled alarm. Push any button to turn the alarm off. A one-time  
backup alarm will sound after 5 minutes if you don’t turn the alarm off the first  
time it rings.  
E
When the timer is running, a bar is shown in timer and time of day  
modes above the timer icon.  
If the timer is set to repeat, the bar is shown above the timer with  
arrow icon.  
ALARM MODE  
The WS4watch includes an alarm that you can set to ring once, or at the same  
time every day, or only on weekends, weekdays, or even just one day a week.  
“The alarm clock is perhaps the simplest function on the WS4watch.  
Yet in it’s simplicity it plays a very important part in the overall  
expedition. There is a comfort in hearing the 2 AM alarm wake me  
from my sleep. These predawn hours are the finest of the day. Crisp  
firm snow under foot, a few stars fading to dawn and the rhythm  
of your partners cadence are the intangible part of the expedition  
experience.”  
Setting an Alarm  
1. Press MODE until ALARM is shown.  
2. Press and hold SET to start.  
3. Press START/SPLIT (+) or STOP/RESET (-) to increase or decrease setting values  
for hours, minutes, AM/PM and alarm type.  
4. Press MODE (NEXT) to advance to the next setting option.

values by holding down START/SPLIT (+) or STOP/RESET (-).  
The watch also has five Altitude Reference Points (REFERENCE HOME,  
REFERENCE BASE 1, REFERENCE BASE 2, REFERENCE BASE 3, and REFERENCE  
MAN-ALT) which allow you to set the altitude of a known location ahead of time,  
and then re-calibrate your watch at that point with one push of a button.

The AM/PM value will (+) only appear if you have set the watch to  
display the 12-hour format.  
When the alarm is armed, a bar is shown in alarm and time of day  
modes above the alarm icon.

CALIBRATION MODE  
The WS4watch has the ability to take extremely accurate measurements. You  
should calibrate either the Altimeter (HOME) or the Barometer (BARO), and the  
Weather Icon (WEATHER) prior to first use. And, as with any precision instrument,  
you should calibrate frequently to maintain accuracy.

NOTE: For the best accuracy, choose the calibration method based on  
the most accurate reference source available. For example, if you are  
standing at a trail head and know the correct altitude, then the most  
accurate calibration will be altitude. If you don’t know your altitude,  
you can find out the current sea level pressure (published online or in

your altimeter reading. If possible, re-calibrate to a known altitude

a compass uses a declination angle setting. Westerly declinations are subtract-  
ed from the computed compass heading while easterly declinations are added.  
See the table on pages 24 and 25 for a list of declinations for major world  
cities.  
GLOSSARY  
This glossary provides definitions for some of the features and functions of the  
watch described throughout this manual.  
E
Altimeter: An instrument used to determine the altitude of an object with respect  
to a fixed level. Typically altitude is measured with respect to sea level.  
Digital: As it relates to watches, digital tells time with the use of numbers.  
In Hg: In Hg stands for Inches of mercury, which is a unit for measuring air  
pressure. One inch of mercury is equivalent to 33.86 millibars.  
Analog: As it relates to a watch, analog tells time with the use of hands.  
Barometer: A barometer measures atmospheric pressure and can help predict  
changes in weather.  
Lap: Lap time records the time or duration of individual segments of your activity.  
Magnetic North: The direction of the earth’s magnetic pole and the direction  
towards which a compass needle points, which differs from true north (see  
below). The difference between true north and magnetic north is used to  
calculate the declination angle used by the watch’s compass.  
Barometric Pressure: Air pressure as it relates to weather forecasts. Higher  
pressure usually indicates warmer and clearer weather while lower pressure  
typically indicates cloudy weather and a greater chance of precipitation.  
Calibration: A technique to improve the accuracy of the compass, altimeter,  
barometer, and weather forecast, primarily by compensating for local conditions.  
MB: MB stands for millibars, which is a metric unit for measuring air pressure.  
One millibar is equal to .0295 inches of mercury.  
Chronograph: The chronograph records timed segments for the duration of your  
activity.  
Sea Level Pressure: Air pressure for a specific location adjusted for difference  
in the altitude of a location. Typically, local pressure will be lower than sea level  
pressure because air pressure decreases with altitude.  
Declination: To account for the difference between true north and magnetic north,

E
Taking a lap or split: When you take a lap or split, the chronograph records the  
time for the current segment and automatically begins timing a new one.  
True North: The geographic north pole where all longitude lines meet. Maps are laid  
out with true north at the top. The difference between true north and magnetic north  
is used to calculate the declination angle used by the watch’s compass.
