For optimal performance
•Expose the watch with the dial towards direct sunlight for several hours at least once a month.
•After taking off the watch, put it in a position so that the dial is exposed to bright light, such as by a window.
•Before storing the watch in a dark place for an extended period of time, be sure to charge it fully.
When the watch is regularly covered with long sleeves, it may not be charged sufficiently. Try to keep the watch exposed to light sufficient for charging. Do not charge the watch at a high temperature (about 60°C/140°F or higher).

Eco-Drive (solar powered) watch
The watch operates by converting sunlight and other light into electrical energy. Once the rechargeable cell is fully charged, the watch will function for approximately 6 months.
Insufficient charge warning
If the power becomes very low, the second hand advances at 2-second
intervals, indicating that charging is necessary. When the second hand
starts to advance at
2-second intervals, expose the watch to light until it is fully charged.
If the watch is not exposed to light within approximately 4 days after the insufficient charge warning starts, the watch will stop.
4
Quick start function
When the stopped watch is exposed to light, it starts operating again immediately.
After quick start, expose the watch to light until it is fully charged. Set the correct time before using the watch.
Overcharging prevention function
Once the watch is fully charged, an overcharging prevention function will automatically activate so that it is not charged any further.
No matter how much the watch is charged, it will not affect the rechargeable cell, time accuracy, functions or other performance.
