GPS signal reception

 

Features

 This is a 

GPS* solar watch

.

Standard  Charging Time

This watch can be set to the precise 

local time by just one button 

operation

 anywhere in the world.

 DST (Daylight Saving Time) can be set manually.

This watch quickly adjusts the time by 

receiving GPS signals 

from GPS satellites.

This watch responds to 

a total of 40 time zones 

around the world.

When the region or time 

zone where the watch is 

used is changed, please 

carry out operation of 

“time zone adjustment.”

GPS signal reception consumes a lot of energy.  It is 

necessary to charge the watch by exposing it to light so 

that the indicator hand points to the “middle” or “full” 

position.  (If the charging status is displayed as “low,” 

the reception will not start even with manual GPS 

signal reception.)  

The figures of “Time required for charging the watch to start moving at 

one- second intervals” are estimations of time required to charge the 

stopped watch by exposing it to light until it moves at steady one-second 

intervals. Even if the watch is partially charged for a shorter period, the 

watch will resume one-second- interval movement. However, it may 

shortly return to two-second-interval movement. Use the charging time in 

this column as a rough guide for sufficient charging time.

The required charging time slightly varies depending on the 

design and the dial color of the watch.

When the energy 

stored in the watch 

runs out completely, 

it takes time to fully 

charge the watch, 

so please keep in 

mind to charge the 

watch regularly.

Solar charging 

Function

This watch operates  by solar charging.

Expose the dial to light to 

charge the watch. Once 

fully charged, the watch 

runs for approximately 

6 months.

Automatic time adjustment function

This watch automatically adjusts the time in 

accordance with action patterns during use.

When the watch has sensed sufficient brightness under 

an open sky, it automatically receives GPS signals 

from GPS satellites. This function enables the watch to 

automatically adjust 

the time precisely 

even while you are 

using the watch.

 

This watch is 

unable to receive 

GPS signals 

when the energy 

stored in the 

watch is low.

 GPS is an abbreviation for Global Positioning System.
