Figure 3

Watch spinning on its glass, decelerating. The oscillation is caused by the movements of the arms of the band. The graph shows the gravity acceleration per axis in m/s2.

Figure 4

Watch spinning on its glass, decelerating. The oscillation is caused by the movements of the arms of the band. The graph shows the linear acceleration per axis in m/s2.

Figure 5

Watch spinning on its glass, decelerating. The oscillation is caused by the movements of the arms of the band. The graph shows the rotation velocity per axis in degrees per second.
