FORCLAZ MW TREK 500 ET 900 WATCHES

MW mountain watches have 2 languages (French or English).

The language can be set during the first start or via the info menu.

This menu can be accessed by keeping the 4 buttons pressed for 3 seconds. This activates the INFO mode which contains the software version, the language setting as well as the possibility of returning the watch to factory mode (RESET).

MW mountain watches have a standby mode that saves the battery when not used for a long time.

This mode is enabled by default in production to ensure maximum battery life when purchasing. To exit standby mode, press the START / STOP button for 3 seconds and wait for the animation to scroll completely on the screen (scroll by 4 lines + ringtone).

Proceed in the same way to place the watch in standby mode.

NB, in standby mode, the screen remains off but the time and date and the settings continue to be active. No need to re-adjust the watch

In case of problems or if you are invited to do so by a technician, a reset (factory mode) is possible by keeping the 4 buttons pressed.
This activates the INFO mode which contains the software version, the language setting as well as the possibility of returning the watch to factory mode (RESET).

The elevation gain is a difference in altitude between two points. we also speak of altitude differential.
Ascent or Descent also called cumulative Ascent (or Descent)  is the sum of all elevations of the same sign during a session. This data is available during a session recorded or after having saved it in memory.

Before each ride and especially if the weather is changeable, the altimeter should be adjusted.

This adjustment is made in altimeter mode (first mode after time mode) by pressing the LIGHT / SETTINGS button for 3 seconds. You can select firstly the units and so adjust the altitude by pressing the + and - icons on the screen. Remember to validate by using the START / STOP button.

NB: adjusting the altitude during a recording does not affect the calculation of elevation gain.

MW mountain watches use a barometric sensor to measure ambient pressure and determine altitude.

The pressure is likely to change depending on the weather (changes over several hours or minutes) or an excessive pressure due to strong wind or water (swimming, shower, very fast movements into the wind).

These events therefore bring about a change in altitude calculated by the watch that could be of difference of several meters.

In the specific case of swimming, remember to stop recording the hike to avoid distorting the calculation of vertical speeds and elevation gains.

The compass is available on the MW TREK 900 models.

It works thanks to a magnetic sensor which needs to be recalibrated regularly. The calibration procedure is carried out, watch on the wrist via the settings menu, performing a movement of "eight" for 3 seconds.

During this adjustment, take care not to be close to a large metal mass as it may corrupt the settings.

Session recording is available from the altimeter menu.

It enables access to various additional measurements to the altimeter such as positive and negative elevation gain, ascent and descent times, ... (refer to the instructions).

At the end of the session, it is possible to save it (1 on the MW TREK 500 model and up to 10 on the MW TREK 900 model). The session recording also allows you to accumulate the total positive elevation of all your recorded sessions (even if they are subsequently deleted) as well as the maximum altitude reached, all sessions combined.

No, our watches do not have GPS and cannot calculate the position. There is therefore no possibility of retrieving a GPX trace from the watch

No, our watches have been developed to provide a simple and affordable measuring tool for your mountain activities.
They are therefore not connected and it is therefore not possible to recover the information present in memory.

Battery replacement is done without tools, using a coin.
1 / Turn the battery cover to place the cursor marked with a point in front of the "open padlock" symbol
2 / using a pen or a point, remove the used battery and replace it with a new one (markings on the outside
3 / Replace the battery cover ensuring the presence of the seal
4 / Rotate the cover clockwise to lock it ("lock closed" position)
5 / Restart the watch by pressing the START / STOP button for 3 seconds

Our watches are compatible with any brand of battery in CR2032 format.

WARNING. Never let a child handle this type of battery (risk of ingestion)

No, our watches use lithium batteries allowing them to operate between 12 and 24 months depending on their use (higher consumption in recording mode)

Yes, all MW watches are water resistant to 5 ATM and tested to an international standard. You can bathe with it without worries!

The MW 500 model uses a mineral glass providing superior resistance to "plastic" glasses (PC or PMMA).
The MW 900 model uses a sapphire crystal which is even superior and which is the market benchmark in terms of scratches

The strap of your watch can be disassembled without tools by pulling the trigger on the pin of the strap.

To reassemble the bracelet, place the pin in the hole of the watch, pull the trigger then place the bracelet between the two lugs of the watch. Release the trigger and move the bracelet slightly to make sure the trigger is secure.

To change the battery in your altimeter watch, please follow the steps explained in the video opposite :

If your product cannot be repaired, return it to a WEEE collection point or any DECATHLON store to optimize recycling.
