5. METEO (Weather)
To access the “
METEO
” (Weather) functions:
Unlock the watch with a long press on START.
Press the “METEO” touch zone.
Pressing and turning will give you access to the following
functions:
Please note: You can go backwards at any time by using the BACK push-piece.
• BAROMETER
In Meteo mode, the hands are superimposed on each other to indicate the meteorological trend. The
advantage of the barometer is that it enables the relative atmospheric pressure to be displayed. This
relative pressure is displayed in hectopascals.
Changes in the weather are related to variations in atmospheric pressure. When the atmospheric
pressure rises, the sky clears. The area is then referred to as one of “high pressure", or an
“anticyclone”. When the atmospheric pressure falls, the sky clouds over. The area is then referred to
as one of “low pressure” or a “depression”.
The T-Touch Connect Solar watch measures these variations in pressure and indicates the
meteorological trend using hands that can adopt the following 7 positions depending on how
weather conditions are changing:
22.01.2021 18
User’s Manual for the T-Touch Connect Solar
-
6
’: Sharp fall in pressure, rapid deterioration
-4’: Moderate fall in pressure, deterioration likely
-2’: Slight fall in pressure, slight deterioration likely
12h: No appreciable change in the weather
+2’: Slight rise in pressure, slight improvement likely
+4’: Moderate rise in pressure, improvement likely
+6’: Sharp rise in pressure, rapid improvement
The T-Touch Connect Solar programme takes account of the variation in atmospheric pressure over
the last 6 hours in order to calculate the forecast to be displayed. In addition, the variation in
pressure caused by a rapid change in altitude is detected by the watch and compensated for
automatically. It therefore has only a minimal influence on the barometric trend. The T-Touch
Connect Solar’s digital display shows the absolute and relative value of atmospheric pressure in
hectopascals [hPa]. Absolute atmospheric pressure is the actual pressure at the time and place the
measurement is taken, and cannot be modified. Relative pressure is a value as at sea level, based on
the local absolute atmospheric pressure. Barometers and weather maps show relative pressure
values. The relative pressure value depends on the climatic zone set and can be reset within the
watch. Calibration of relative pressure is related to altitude.
Measurement range:
absolute pressure: 250 hPa to 1200 hPa
relative pressure: 950 hPa
to 1100 hPa
Accuracy:
absolute pressure: ± 3 hPa
Relative pressure:

Pressing and turning
will give you access to the following
functions:
o Calibrate relative pressure
Adjusting the relative pressure causes the displayed altitude to change. The relative pressure is
intentionally restricted to between 950 hPa and 1,100 hPa.
o ABSOLUTE PRESSURE
Absolute atmospheric pressure is the actual pressure at the time and place the measurement is
taken, and cannot be modified.
To obtain the most accurate barometer readings, you have the option to adjust the hemisphere and
climatic zone based on your geographical location. In the “T-
Touch”/”SETTINGS”/”Calibration”/”ALTIMETER” functions, select your climatic zone either manually
or automatically, using the simplified Koeppen climate classification (see illustration below). If the
22.01.2021 19
User’s Manual for the T-Touch Connect Solar
watch is not set (“Not Set”), the standard atmosphere model is used: steady temperature at sea level
= 15°C, average pressure at sea level = 1013.25hPa.
Polar Temperate Arid Tropical Mediterranean
o TEMPERATURE
The temperature displayed is the temperature of the watch case. This is, in turn, affected by the
body’s temperature. This is why the temperature displayed may differ from the ambient
temperature.
In order to display the actual ambient temperature, the watch must be removed from the wrist until
no longer affected by the body’s temperature (this takes around 15 to 30 minutes).
The temperature can be displayed in degrees Celsius [°C] or degrees Fahrenheit [°F].

6. ACTIVITY
To access the “
ACTIVITY
” functions:
Unlock the watch with a long press on START.
Press the “ACTIVITY” touch zone.
Pressing and turning will give you access to the following
functions:
Please note: You can go backwards at any time by using the BACK push-piece.
• ACTIVITY TRACKER
In activity tracker mode, the T-Touch Connect Solar measures daily physical activity by counting the
number of steps taken.
These daily data are always calculated by reference to Time 1, and changing Time 1 automatically
causes the daily data to be refreshed.
For more detailed activity tracking, more data are estimated, such as distance covered, number of
calories burned and duration of activity.
Pressing and turning will give you access to the following data:
o STEPS GOAL
The default daily steps goal is 5,000. This figure can be altered by using .
When the day’s goal has been reached, a “goal alert” notification is displayed, accompanied by a
beep or a vibration.
: in paired mode
The “Steps goal” can also be set in the app. In addition, daily activity records can be consulted for up
to 10 years in the app.
o CALORIES
Displays the number of calories burned during the day.
22.01.2021 21
User’s Manual for the T-Touch Connect Solar
o DISTANCE
Displays the distance covered during the day, in kilometres (km) or miles (mi).
o ACTIVITY PERIOD
Displays the duration of the day’s activity.
• ALTIMETER
In altimeter mode, the T-Touch Connect Solar becomes a barometric altimeter and displays the
altitude in relation to the average sea level. The measurement unit used to display the altitude (m or
ft) is the unit that was selected in the watch settings.
Please note: Because pressure is used to calculate altitude, the altimeter is sensitive to variations in
atmospheric pressure as the weather changes. It is not unusual to observe differences in altitude of
100 m in a single night. The value displayed can thus vary even though the altitude has not actually
changed.
Change in the weather = variation in pressure = change in the altitude displayed
o ALTITUDE? (Altitude calibration)
“Calibrating” an altimeter means setting it to the known altitude at a particular point. You can reset
the altitude by using . True altitude values are displayed in various places: on signposts, and on
contour lines and spot elevations on maps. Altitude must be “calibrated” in relation to the ambient
atmospheric pressure.

Pressing and turning will give you access to the following
functions:
Please note: You can go backwards at any time by using the BACK push-piece.
• COMPASS
In Compass mode the watch indicates magnetic north. Other display modes are available, such as indication of
geographic north or azimuthal direction.
Explanations:
On a geographical map of the world, the vertical lines (meridians) converge towards the Geographic North
Pole (gN), thus indicating its direction. The needle on a standard compass, which is often red, points towards
the North Magnetic Pole (mN). The angle (α) between these two directions, gN and mN, is called the magnetic
declination. The value of the magnetic declination thus depends on where you are on the globe.
In addition, the North Magnetic Pole is constantly shifting. The magnetic declination value thus also depends
on the date. When the correct (for location and date) magnetic declination value is set, either automatically or
manually (see setting procedure under the “T-Touch” heading), the T-Touch Connect Solar’s minute hand
points towards geographic north (gN). When magnetic declination is reset to zero, the watch points to
magnetic north (mN).
Magnetic declination values and dates are shown on topographical maps or can be looked up in dedicated
software packages available online.

User’s Manual for the T-Touch Connect Solar
Accuracy: ± 8°
Resolution: 1°
Note 1:
For the most accurate indication of North, hold the watch as nearly horizontal as possible.
Note 2:
The compass function, like any other compass, should not be used near any metallic or magnetic
body, and should preferably be used outdoors. If in doubt, you can recalibrate the compass.
Pressing and turning will give you access to the following compass settings:
“Set Mode”
Three types of indication are available: « Magn. North” (magnetic north), “True north” (geographic
north) and “Azimuth” (azimuthal direction). Select the desired indication by pressing and turning .
Please note: In “Azimuth” mode, the T-Touch Connect Solar indicates the azimuthal direction
(course) you need to follow.
“Set azimuth”
The azimuth is the horizontal angle between the direction of an object (course) and geographic
north. The azimuth is measured from the north in degrees, from 0° to 359°, and can be adjusted by
pressing and turning . When using the compass in azimuth mode, red arrows on the MIP screen
show you the direction in which to turn the watch so that the second hand points in the programmed
azimuthal direction (course).
In azimuth mode, the T-Touch Connect Solar emits an acoustic signal and displays a visual signal
(“Go”) when the watch’s 6 o’clock-12 o’clock axis is aligned with the azimuthal direction set. The
direction of the minute hand represents the azimuth direction in relation to geographic north, while
the direction of the hour hand represents geographic north.
22.01.2021 36
User’s Manual for the T-Touch Connect Solar
“Calibrate”
Various factors affect compass function’s precision, and therefore it may be necessary to recalibrate
the compass. For accurate calibration, ensure you are outdoors and well away from any metallic or
magnetic body. You now have 60 seconds in which to move your wrist fairly rapidly in a
figure-of-eight until you hear a little beep or see “Calibrated”
displayed on the MIP screen, indicating that calibration is complete. If “Calibration is unsuccessful”
appears on the MIP screen, the calibration operation has failed and you need to re-initiate it.
Please note: For accurate calibration, the watch should not be kept horizontal during the
figure-of-eight movements, and it is not necessary to execute a perfect figure-of-eight, the most
important thing being for the watch to move within its environment.
