I noticed that my watch also has faulty time triggers, but only when you cover it with a long sleeve (which I seldom do). It really depends on the reflective properties of the sleeve whether it will trigger time readings or not. However, while the watch is covered, it will be in a darker environment and for this reason it won't use much energy to display the time. Although I haven't done so yet, the motion sensor can be disabled if you wear sleeves that have reflective properties close to the threshold level of the time trigger mechanism. You can then just push the button to initiate a time reading.
When the trigger angle of David's watch is increased (like Jim said, close to 90 degrees), for sure that will reduce faulty time triggers. There is many occasions that I like to know the time but do not want this to be very obvious to others, with a 90 degree angle you cannot hide the fact that you are checking the time. With the refection sensor it is easy to twist your wrist a bit and reflect against something (say your other arm or a table or whatever there is close to you) to trigger a time reading while nobody else notices this. As for the 125 readings per day, if you say that this means checking the time every 7 or 8 minutes, yes it does sound a lot indeed! However, normally when I want to know the time this is for a reason (a schedule) and I probably then check it every 30 seconds, 10 times in a row or something like that. Maybe I do check the time more often than the average person, but I am quite sure that if you wear a "normal" watch you check the time much more frequent than if you need to hold your watch on a 90 degree angle that everyone will notice. Otherwise it will become a watch that you only wear on occasions. Michel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
