from step 3 under “To change the current time setting 
manually”.

 After the settings are the way you want, press

from there.
 The day of the week indicated by the 

 

v

 

Left Dial Hand

 

changes automatically in accordance with the date 
(year, month, and day).

Note

 The watch’s built-in full automatic calendar makes allowances for different month 

 

lengths and leap years. Once you set the date, there should be no reason to change 
it except after you have the watch’s rechargeable battery replaced or after power 
drops to Level 3.

Using the Stopwatch

The stopwatch measures elapsed time and split times.

Hand Functions

 Second Hand: 

 Indicates the stopwatch 1/10-second 
count.

 Left Dial Hand: 

 Indicates the stopwatch 1/100-second 
count.

 Right Dial Hands: 

 Indicate the stopwatch minutes and 
seconds.

To perform elapsed time measurement

 Use 

1. 

C

 to move the 

v

 

Left Dial Hand

 to 

0

.

 This indicates the Stopwatch Mode.

 

 Now you can perform either of following stopwatch operations.

2. 

 You will not be able to perform any stopwatch operation while the hands are 

 

moving to their initial positions after you enter the Stopwatch Mode.

Note

 The Stopwatch Mode can indicate elapsed time up to 23 minutes, 59.99 seconds.

 

 In the following cases, the hands of the watch are moving, so pressing 

 

D

 or 

B

 will 

not perform any stopwatch operation.

 While the hands are moving to elapsed timekeeping after you enter the Stopwatch 

 

Mode
 While the watch is changing dates at midnight

 

 Once started, stopwatch timing continues until you press 

 

B

 to stop it, even if you 

exit the Stopwatch Mode to another mode or timing reaches the stopwatch limit 
defi ned above.
 Whenever you enter the Stopwatch Mode, the hands of the watch move to their 

 

initial Stopwatch Mode positions. If you did not reset the stopwatch the last time you 
used it, the hands will return to the positions they were in the last time you exited the 
Stopwatch Mode.
 The 

 

x

 

Second Hand

 indicates the 1/10-second count for the fi rst 30 seconds of 

a stopwatch elapsed time operation. After that, the hand stops at 

0

. 1/10-second 

timing continues internally after the fi rst 30 seconds, and the 

x

 

Second Hand

 will 

jump to the current value whenever 

B

 (Stop) or 

D

 (Split) is pressed.

 Though the 

 

v

 

Left Dial Hand

 is stopped while an elapsed time measurement 

operation is in progress, the watch keeps track of the 1/100-second count internally. 
The 

v

 

Left Dial Hand

 will jump to the current 1/100-second reading whenever you 

stop the stopwatch or perform a split time operation.

Checking the Current Time in a Different Time Zone

You can use the World Time Mode to view the current time in one of 29 time 
zones around the globe. Each time zone has a “city code”, which is a three-letter 
abbreviation of a representative city in the zone. The representative city of the time 
zone that is currently selected in the World Time Mode is called the “World Time City”.

Hand Functions

 Second Hand: 

 Indicates the currently selected World 
Time City.

 Left Dial Hand: 

 Indicates the current 

STD

 (standard 

time) or 

DST

 (daylight saving time) 

setting of the currently selected World 
Time City.

 Right Dial Hands: 

 Indicate the current time in the 
selected World Time City in 24-hour 
format.

To view the time in another time zone

 Use 

1. 

C

 to move the 

v

 

Left Dial Hand

 to 

STD

 or 

DST

.

 This indicates the World Time Mode.

 

 Use 

2. 

D

 to move the 

x

 

Second Hand

 to the city code you want to select as the 

World Time City.

 The 

 

n

 

Right Dial Hands

 will move to the current time in the currently selected 

World Time City. At this time, the 

z

 

Hour Hand

 and 

c

 

Minute Hand

 will continue 

to indicate the current time in the Home City.
 For full information on city codes, see the “City Code Table”.

 If you think that the time indicated for the selected World Time City is not correct, 

 

it probably means that there is something wrong with your Home City settings. 
Use the procedure under “To confi gure Home City settings” to correct the Home 
City settings.

To specify standard time or daylight saving time (DST) for a time zone

Hold down 

A

 for two 

seconds

6

 In the World Time Mode, use 

1. 

D

 to select the city code 

for the time whose setting you want to change.

 Wait until the 

 

n

 

Right Dial Hands

 complete their move 

to the time in the currently selected World Time City. 
You will not be able to perform step 2 of this procedure 
until the hands stop moving.

 Hold down 

2. 

A

 for about two seconds until the watch 

beeps. This will cause the 

v

 

Left Dial Hand

 to toggle 

between 

DST

 (daylight saving time) and 

STD

 (standard 

time).

 Note that you cannot switch between 

 

STD

 (standard 

time)/

DST

 (daylight saving/summer time) while 

UTC

 is 

selected as the World Time City.
 Note that the 

 

STD

 (standard time)/

DST

 (daylight 

saving/summer time) setting affects only the currently 
selected time zone. Other time zones are not affected.

Swapping your Home City and World Time City

You can use the procedure below to swap your Home City and World Time City. This 
capability can come in handy when you frequently travel between two locations in 
different time zones.

The following example shows what happens when the Home City and World Time 
City are swapped while the Home City originally is 

TYO

 (Tokyo) and the World Time 

City is 

NYC

 (New York).

Home City

World Time City

Before swapping

Tokyo

10:08 p.m.

(Standard time)

New York

9:08 a.m.

(Daylight saving time)

After swapping

New York

9:08 a.m.

(Daylight saving time)

Tokyo

10:08 p.m.

(Standard time) 

To swap your Home City and World Time City

 In the World Time Mode, use 

1. 

D

 to select the World 

Time City you want.

 In this example, you would move the 

 

x

 

Second Hand

 

to 

NYC

 in order to select New York as the World 

Time City.
 Wait until the 

 

n

 

Right Dial Hands

 complete their move 

to the time in the currently selected World Time City. 
You will not be able to perform step 2 of this procedure 
until the hands stop moving.

 

 Hold down 

2. 

B

 for about three seconds until the watch 

beeps.

 This will make the World Time City (

 

NYC

 in this 

example) your new Home City. At the same time, it will 
change the Home City you had selected prior to step 2 
(

TYO

 in this example) to your World Time City.

 After swapping the Home City and World Time City, 

 

the watch will stay in the World Time Mode. The 

x

 

Second Hand

 will point to your new World Time City 

(

TYO

 in this example).

 The 

 

n

 

Right Dial Hands

 will indicate the current time in 

your new World Time City.

Note

 If your current World Time City supports time calibration signal reception, making it 

 

your Home City enables calibration signal reception for that city.

Using the Alarm

When the alarm is turned on, an alarm will sound for about 10 seconds each day 
when the time in the Timekeeping Mode reaches the preset alarm time. This is true 
even if the watch is not in the Timekeeping Mode.

Hand Functions

 Second Hand: 

 Indicates the current alarm ON/OFF 
setting.

 Left Dial Hand: 

 Points to 

ALM

.

 Right Dial Hands: 

 Indicate the current alarm time 
setting in 24-hour format.

To change the alarm time setting

 Use 

1. 

C

 to move the 

v

 

Left Dial Hand

 to 

ALM

.

 This indicates the Alarm Mode.

 

 Use 

2. 

D

 (+) and 

B

 (–) to change the alarm time setting.

 Each press of either button will move the 

 

n

 

Right Dial Hands

 one minute.

 Holding down 

 

D

 or 

B

 will start high-speed hand movement in the applicable 

direction. To stop high-speed hand movement, press any button.
 The alarm always works based on the time kept in the Timekeeping Mode.

 

 The watch will return to the Timekeeping Mode automatically if you do not perform 

 

any operation in the Alarm Mode for about two or three minutes.

To turn the alarm on or off

In the Alarm Mode, press 

A

 to toggle the alarm on and off. The
