Weather forecast with X6HR??

[mouqvist]

Hello!

I have used a brand new Suunto x6hr for a whole day.

In the morning, the sky was cloudy before light rain occured by noon. Now at 20:00 in the evening, the sky is dark and rain pouring down.
I looked at my watch several times during the day and noticed that the weather indicator showed an uppward trend each time (and the pressure display also showed increasing values).

Since the weather got worse the hople day, the trend should have been the other way?

Can someone explain it to me or is my brand new watch already broken?

Designed for Cross Sports applications, the X6 writstops are functionally very similar to the Suunto X6 - but with the added benefits of a heart rate monitor.

Just check out the barometric pressure readings on your watch against the ones you find on a weather website (or newspaper) for your area. You may have to calibrate it first (see the book which came with the watch.) Using the watch (barometric pressure) to forcast the weather is not foolproof but usually works to some small degree.
