Vibration Alarm

When the Vibration Alarm is turned on, the watch vibrates instead of sounding an alarm. This lets you use the watch without disturbing others by beeping sounds.

x The Vibration Alarm can be used to replace alarm sounds in the Countdown Alarm,

Stopwatch, and Alarm Modes.

x All explanations in this manual use expressions such as “sounds the alarm” for

alarm operations. When the Vibration Alarm is turned on, these expressions should be understood to mean “causes the watch to vibrate”.

x Watches with a metal band may produce a noise when a vibration operation

is performed. This is due to vibration of the metal band, and does not indicate malfunction of the watch.
