Characteristics
This solar watch is equipped with a stopwatch function.
•
A full-scale stopwatch, which can measure in 1/5-second increments (V172, V174, V175) or 1/20-second
increments (V176) with the center hand, is equipped.
• A solar cell under the dial converts any form of light into “electrical energy” to operate the watch.
* “Chronograph” means a watch with a stopwatch function.
■ Stopwatch function..................
→ P.22
The stopwatch can measure up to 60 minutes in 1/5-second
increments (V172, V174, V175) or 1/20-second increments (V176).
After measuring 60 minutes, the stopwatch will automatically stop.
■ Alarm function..........................
→ P.34
The single-time alarm can be set to sound only once at a designated
time.
The alarm time can be set in one-minute increments to the time until
11 hours 59 minutes is reached.
(Only available for V172 and V174)
■ Solar Charging Function..........
→ P.37
The watch charges by converting light that shines on the solar panel
on the dial into electrical energy. After the battery is fully charged,
the watch will operate for about six months even if the dial is not
exposed to light.
