Operation Guide 5419

Using the Crown

The watch’s crown is a screw-in (screw lock) type. To use the crown, you first need to rotate it towards you (leftwards) to loosen it.

Crown

Loosen

Before performing a crown operation, you need to pull it out to the first or second click. Do not pull the crown with too much force.

Normal timekeeping

First click

Second click

Important!

To prevent loss of water resistance and/or damage due to impact, be sure to push the crown in and lock it when not in use.

Screw in

When pushing the crown back in, take care not to apply too much force.

Fast Forward/Fast Reverse

After pulling out the crown, rotating it quickly in succession in either direction will start a fast forward or fast reverse operation. While a fast forward operation is in progress, quickly rotating the crown in succession again will increase the speed even further.

The fast reverse operation speed is fixed and cannot be changed.

Stopping Fast Forward/Fast Reverse

Rotate the crown in the direction opposite that of the ongoing operation or press any button.

Note

If you do not perform any operation for about two minutes after pulling out the crown, crown operations will automatically become disabled. If that happens, push the crown back in and then pull it out again.

Changing Hand and the Day

Indicator Settings

Mode Hand and Day Indicator Movement

Changing the day setting of the watch will also cause the mode hand to move.

Day

It can take anywhere from about 90 seconds to three minutes for the day indicator to change after timekeeping reaches midnight. The mode hand moves as the day indicator changes.

The day may not be indicated correctly while the watch’s crown is pulled out.

Solar Charging

What is solar charging?

This watch runs on power supplied from a rechargeable (secondary) battery that is charged by a solar panel. The solar panel is integrated into the face of the watch, and power is generated whenever the face is exposed to light.

Charging the Watch

When you are not wearing the watch, put it in a location where it is exposed to bright light.

While you are wearing the watch, make sure that its face (solar panel) is not blocked from the light by the sleeve of your clothing. Power generation efficiency is reduced even when the face of the watch is blocked only partially.

YES NO

Important!

Depending on light intensity and local conditions, the watch may become hot to the touch when exposed to light for charging. Take care to avoid burn injury after charging. Also, avoid charging the watch under high-temperature conditions like the ones described below.

On the dashboard of a vehicle parked in the sun

Near an incandescent light bulb or other source of heat

Under direct sunlight or in other hot areas for long periods

Important!

Should battery go low or go dead, expose the face (solar panel) to light as soon as possible.

Note

Exposing the watch face to light after the battery goes dead will cause the second hand to revolve counterclockwise until it stops at second 57. This indicates charging has started.

Low Battery Power

The second hand jumps at two-second intervals.
