A few days ago I asked on this forum why the first 15 min of a bezel are emphasized on some dive-watches (as for example the SMP 300). There was a little discussion whether it was a countdown function or an elapsed time function. For more information I went to the "ultimate dive forum" (www.equationoftime.com)
They said that it is indeed an elapsed time function. (so you set the triangle at the minute hand and your dive time starts). When you ascend and have to make decompression stops you can RESET your bezel (so again set the triangle at the minute hand) and for more exact timing these first minutes are emphasized (decompression stops usually only take a few minutes).
Sounds reasonable to me? What do you think?
