La Crosse XG-55 Digital Altimeter Compass Watch with Thermometer, Barometer, Forecast, Chronograph, and Two Alarms

Material: Stainless Steel
Feature: Alarm
Type: Digital


 

Daily Alarm Mode: Two independent daily alarms plus an hourly chime can be set in Alarm Mode. Depending upon the alarm being set, AL1 or AL2 appears in the top row of the display. The alarm time is displayed in the second row, and On or Off (for alarm enabled or disabled) is displayed in the third row. In Current Time mode, an alarm icon (sound waves) tells you that an alarm is enabled, and a bell icon tells you that the hourly chime is on.

During setup in this mode, you can select not only the time format but also the month-date order (mm:dd or dd:mm), the LCD panel contrast (10 levels), and key beep on or off.

Current Time Mode: During normal operation in Current Time Mode, the XG-55 displays the time in the large second row as hour, minutes, and seconds in your choice of 12-hour format (with A for AM or P for PM) or 24-hour format. A circular bar graph around the outer edge of the display also shows the passage of seconds. For the display's top row, you can opt to show a three-letter weekday abbreviation in English, the current temperature in or , an altitude tendency bar graph, or a pressure tendency bar graph. You can even option the watch to alternate between these four displays. The third (bottom) row of the display shows the month and calendar date. This watch's auto-calendar is pre-programmed from year 2004 to 2099. In Current Time Mode, one of five pressure-based weather forecast icons is always displayed at the right side of the top row: Sunny, Partly Cloudy, Cloudy, Rainy, or Stormy.

The XG-55 has eight major function modes. These are Current Time, Daily Alarm, Chronograph (stopwatch with lap memory recall), Timer (countdown), Dual Time, Barometer, Altimeter, and Compass. Here's what the watch does in each mode.
