just time and specifically watches that display life rhythms. A
calculation unit first calculates the time of sunrise and
sunset. It makes such calculation on the basis of latitude,
longitude and deviation from standard time stored in memory of a
computer. Once it calculates the time of sunrise and sundown
for a particular geographical location and date, the calculation
unit then divides into three equal parts the time period from
sunrise to sundown. The three equal parts represent the three
life rhythms Kapha, Pitta and Vata, for example, which are
represented by three different colors. Then, based upon the
present time, the calculation unit sends a control signal to the
display such that it displays the appropriate colors with the
appropriate borders and boundaries. In other words, a means or
panel for displaying the time period of a life rhythm according
to the present invention requires a determination of display
color boundaries. The display of these color boundaries changes
with a change in geographical location and whether it is daytime
or nighttime. When changing the geographical region for which
time is to be displayed, a bezel ring is rotated to the position
in which the marker on the bezel ring points to the selected
geographical region. The amount of rotation is measured by an
