More on the Tissot T-Touch Thermometer

If you don't setyour magnetic declination at all (meaning it is set to 0 degrees), the compasswill simply indicate magnetic north.More on the Tissot T-Touch Thermometer At this particular moment, the watch shows a temperature of 83.2 degrees on mywrist. The Oregon Scientific thermometer in my office shows a temperature of 68.8degrees. Assuming my body temperature is 98.6, the average temperaturebetween my body and the air is 83.7 degrees, which means that when you're wearingthe watch, the temperature it displays can be considered the rough average temperaturebetween your body and the air. The Tissot T-Touch actually measures the temperatureof the watch case, which means if you want to measure the temperature of the air,you will need to take it off and not handle it for between 15 and 30 minutes. Onceleft alone, I found it to be very accurate. In fact, on one occasion, I found itto be in exact agreement with the Oregon Scientific digital thermometer (see the TissotT-Touch photo gallery for proof).More on the Tissot T-Touch BarometerTissot refers to the barometer as meteo, meaning an indication of meteorologicaltendencies. When in meteo mode, the digital portion of the watch indicates theatmospheric pressure in hectoPascals while the analog hands realign themselveseither straight up to indicate stable weather, to the left of 12 o'clock to indicatedeteriorating weather, or to the right of 12 o'clock to indicate improving weather.The further the hands are aligned to the left or right of 12 o' clock, the greaterthe change in atmospheric pressure.
