Yes. The THARSIS has a 50M (5 ATM) water resistance rating, suitable for daily water exposure such as rain, hand washing, and swimming. It is not recommended for diving or operating the buttons underwater.
4. How accurate is the digital compass?
The compass provides reliable directional guidance when properly calibrated. For the best results, keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields and perform calibration as instructed in the user manual.
5. How does the altimeter work?
The altimeter calculates altitude based on changes in atmospheric pressure. For improved accuracy, calibrate the altitude using a known reference point before outdoor activities.
6. Why does the altitude reading change during the day?
Because the altimeter relies on air pressure, changes in weather conditions can affect altitude readings. Recalibration is recommended when weather conditions change significantly.
7. What does the barometer measure?
The barometer measures atmospheric pressure, helping users monitor weather trends and anticipate changing outdoor conditions.
8. Can the barometer help predict weather changes?
Yes. A rapid drop in atmospheric pressure may indicate approaching bad weather, while rising pressure often suggests improving conditions.
9. How accurate is the thermometer?
The thermometer measures the temperature around the watch. Body heat may influence the reading while wearing it. For the most accurate result, remove the watch and allow it to adjust to the surrounding environment for several minutes.
10. What material is the case made of?
The watch uses a lightweight and durable carbon fiber case combined with a robust 304 stainless steel bezel for enhanced strength and wear resistance.
