and its operations.

Note

signal” refers to a time calibration
signal. Time signals include time
information.

Using the Crown

Depending on the operation you want to
perform, pull out the crown to the first or
second click and then rotate it.

First click

Normal timekeeping

Second click

Important!

To prevent loss of water resistance
and/or damage due to impact, be sure
to push the crown in to its normal
position after you are finished using it.

When pushing the crown back in, take
care not to apply too much force.

Fast Forward/Fast Reverse

After pulling out the crown to the first or second
click, rotating it quickly in succession in either
direction will start a fast forward or fast reverse
operation. While a fast forward or fast revers
operation is in progress, quickly rotating the
crown in succession in the applicable
direction again will increase the speed even
further.

Stopping Fast Forward/Fast Reverse

Rotate the crown in the direction opposite that
of the ongoing operation or press any button.

Note

If you do not perform any operation for
about two minutes after pulling out the
crown, crown operations will
automatically become disabled. If that
happens, push the crown back in and
then pull it out again.

Hands and the Day Indicator

Hands and the Day Indicator Movement

Note the precautions below whenever you are
changing the city setting, adjusting the time or
day setting, or correcting hand and day
indicator alignment.

Second hand and minute hand movement
is synced.

Hour hand, 24-hour hand, and day indicator
movement is synced.

Day

The day indication changes slowly each day
between 10:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m. the next
day.

Solar Charging

What is solar charging?

This watch runs on power supplied from a
rechargeable (secondary) battery that is
charged by a solar panel. The solar panel is
integrated into the face of the watch, and
power is generated whenever the face is
exposed to light.
