Important!
The watch will continue to run for about six months after a full charge, even if it is
not exposed to light. For stable operation, however, expose it to light as much as
possible.

x
become very hot.

Solar Charging
A solar panel generates electrical power that charges a built-in (secondary) battery.
The entire face is a solar panel, so power is generated when the face is exposed to
light. Keep the watch exposed to light as much as possible.
Charging the Battery
When you are not wearing the watch, leave it where it is exposed
to light. For stable operation, expose the watch to at least a half
day of light per month.
When wearing the watch, try to keep your clothing from blocking
its face (solar panel). Charging effi ciency is reduced signifi cantly
even if the face is blocked only partially.

Crown Operations
Some water-resistant models (100 meters, 200 meters)
have a screw-in crown. When you need to perform a crown
operation, rotate it towards you to unscrew it. Then pull
the crown out. Avoid applying undue force when pulling.
The watch loses its water resistance while the crown is
unscrewed. After performing a crown operation, fully screw
the crown back in.

Crown
Spacer
Depending on your watch model, there may be a spacer
x
installed at the factory around the crown. If your watch has
a spacer, you should remove the spacer before using the
watch.
After removing the spacer, use the procedures in “Crown
x
Operations” (page E-3) and “To adjust the time setting” (page
E-12) to set up the watch for use.
