Keep the watch exposed to bright light
The electricity generated by the solar panel of the watch is
stored by a rechargeable battery. Leaving or using the
watch where it is not exposed to light causes the battery
to run down. Make sure the watch is exposed to light as
much as possible.
•
When you are not wearing the watch on your wrist,
position the face so it is pointed at a source of bright
light.
•
You should try to keep the watch outside of your sleeve
as much as possible. Charging is reduced significantly if
the face is covered only partially.

exposed to light as much as possible.
