6. General Reference for Charging Times
The time required for charging varies according to the model of the watch (color of
the dial, etc.). The following times are shown below to serve only as a reference.
Full charging time: Time required for charging the watch from the stopped state to fully charged.
Charging time for 1 day of operation: Time required for charging the watch to run for 1 day at
1-second interval movement.
[Note]
Once fully charged, the watch will continue to run for about 6 months
with any additional charging. As shown in the table above, a considerable
amount of time is required until the watch starts running once the watch
has stopped as a result of being insufficiently charged. Try to keep your
watch sufficiently charged at all times by charging everyday.
Furthermore, it is recommended to charge your watch by exposing to
direct sunlight once a month.
