Hi Everyone
The Avenger Seawolf Chrono has compass settings on the outside edge of the face. Is it functional, and does anyone know how to use it?
Thanks

You can use an analog watch for determining direction by pointing the hour hand at the sun and then bisecting the angle between the hour hand and 12:00. That will give you South in the Northern Hemisphere. You then of course would have the direction in degrees as shown on the bezel.

It's explained in the manual. No other function than that.
