CONTENTS
The following functions are included
This is a GPS* solar watch.
This watch has the following features.
Features
*GPS is an abbreviation for Global Positioning System.
This watch can be set to the
precise local time by just one
button operation anywhere in
the world.
This watch operates by solar
charging.
This watch automatically
adjusts the time in accordance
with action patterns during
use.
Expose the dial to light to
charge the watch.
Once fully charged, the watch
runs for approximately six
months.
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.
→ How to charge the watch P.37
→ Standard charging time P.37
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.
→ Automatic time adjustment P.46
*This watch is unable to receive
GPS signals when the energy
stored in the watch is low.
→ Check the Charging Status P.36
This watch quickly adjusts the
time by receiving GPS signals
from GPS satellites.
This watch responds to a total
of 39 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.”
→ How to adjust the time P.40
※ Unlike navigation equipment, this GPS solar watch is not designed to constantly receive GPS signals from GPS satellites without
any operation.This watch receives GPS signals only in the time zone adjustment mode, automatic or manual time adjustment mode.
The watch displays the precise time of the time
zone that is set by operation of “manual time
adjustment.”
→ How to manually adjust the time P.45
→ Check the time zone setting P.40
To set only the time
When the region or time zone where the watch
is used is changed
Adjust the time zone.

How to charge the watch
Expose the dial to light to charge the watch.
Standard
Charging Time
For an approximate time
required to charge the watch,
refer to the table at the right.
GPS signal reception
consumes a lot of energy.
Keep in mind to charge
the watch by expose to
light so that the indicator
hand points to the “level
position (middle)” or “F
(full).” (If the charging
status is displayed as
“E (low),” the reception
will not start even with
operation of GPS signal
reception.) →Check the
charging status. P.36

has energy to operate.
Charge the watch at least until
the indicator hand points to the
level position so that the watch
is able to receive GPS signals.

The watch is unable to
receive GPS signals, and
does not have energy
to operate. (The energy
depletion forewarning
function is activated.
→P.49)
Continue to charge the
watch at least until the
indicator hand points to the
level position so that the
watch is able to continuously
operate and receive GPS
signals.

When the indicator hand
points to “E,” charge the
watch following the above.
Check the charging status
The indicator hand position shows whether this watch is able or unable to receive GPS signals.
In addition, for the low charging state, the movement of the second hand shows the energy
depletion state in further detail.
*GPS radio signal reception requires a lot of energy. Keep in mind to regularly charge the watch by expose to light.
→About charging P.37
To ensure optima
performance
of the watch,
make sure that
the watch is
kept suffi ciently
charged at all
time.
Under the following situations, the energy of the watch is likely to
be depleted, resulting in stoppage of the watch.
・ The watch is concealed under a sleeve.
・ The watch is used or stored under conditions where it cannot be
exposed to light for a long time.
※ When charging the watch, make sure that the watch is not heated to a high
temperature. (The operational temperature range is between -10 ℃ and + 60 ℃.)
※ When fi rst using the watch or starting to use the watch after it has stopped because of
the energy depletion, suffi ciently charge the watch referring to the table on the page below.
The fi gures of “Time required for charging the watch to start moving at 1-sec intervals” are estimations of time
required to charge the stopped watch by exposing it to light until it moves at steady 1-sec intervals. Even if the
watch is partially charged for a shorter period, the watch will resume 1-sec interval movement. However, it may shortly
return to 2-sec interval movement. Use the charging time in this column as a rough guide for suffi cient charging time
※ The required charging time slightly varies depending on the design and the
dial color of the watch.
