TACHYMETER
(for models with tachymeter scale on the dial)

English

To measure the hourly average speed of a vehicle

Use the stopwatch to determine

1

how many seconds it takes to go
1 km or 1 mile.

2

Tachymeter scale indicated by
STOPWATCH second hand gives
the average speed per hour.

* Tachymeter scale can be used only when the time required is less than 60 seconds.

Ex. 2: If the measuring distance is extended to 2 km or miles or shortened to 0.5 km or miles

and STOPWATCH second hand indicates “90” on tachymeter scale:

“90” (tachymeter scale figure) x 2 (km or mile) = 180 km/h or mph
“90” (tachymeter scale figure) x 0.5 (km or mile) = 45 km/h or mph

14

Ex. 1Ex. 1

BATTERY LIFE INDICATOR

● When the battery nears its end, the small second hand moves at two-second intervals

instead of normal one-second intervals to indicate that the battery needs to be replaced

English

with a new one.

* If the alarm is used while the second hand is moving at two-second intervals, the watch

may stop operating. Therefore, if you see the second hand moving at two-second intervals,
replace the battery with a new one as soon as possible.

BATTERY CHANGE

Years

CAUTION

Do not remove the battery from the watch. If it is necessary to take out the
battery, keep it out of the reach of children. If a child swallows it, consult a
doctor immediately.

18

The miniature battery which powers your watch should last approximately
2 years. However, because the battery is inserted at the factory to check
the function and performance of the watch, its actual life once in your
possession may be less than the specified period. When the battery
expires, be sure to replace it as soon as possible to prevent any malfunction.
For battery replacement, we recommend that you contact an AUTHORIZED
SEIKO DEALER and request SEIKO SR927W battery.

• Do not operate the crowns and buttons

fresh water and dry it completely.

• When taking a shower with the water resistant 5
bar watch, or taking a bath with the water resistant
10, 15 or 20 bar watch, be sure to observe the
following:
* Do not operate the crowns or push the buttons

when the watch is wet with soapy water or
shampoo.

* If the watch is left in warm water, a slight time

loss or gain may be caused. This condition,
however, will be corrected when the watch

20

returns to normal temperature.

* Pressure in bar is a test

pressure and should not be
considered as corresponding
to actual diving depth since
swimming movement tends
to increase the pressure at a
given depth. Care should
also be taken on diving into
water.

** We recommend that you

wear a SEIKO Diver’s Watch
for scuba diving.

■ TEMPERATURES

Your watch works with stable

+60°C

accuracy within a temperature

-10°C

range of 5°C and 35°C (41°F
and 95°F).

Temperatures over 60°C (140°F) may cause
battery leakage or shorten the battery life.
Do not leave your watch in very low
temperatures below –10°C␣ (+14°F) for a
long time since the cold may cause a slight
time loss or gain.
However, the above conditions will be
corrected when the watch returns to
normal temperature.

■ SHOCKS & VIBRATION

Light activities will not affect
your watch, but be careful not
to drop your watch or hit it
against hard surfaces, as this
may cause damage.

■ MAGNETISM

Your watch will be adversely
affected by strong magnetism.
Keep it away from close contact

S

N

with magnetic objects.

■ CARE OF CASE AND BRACELET

To prevent possible rusting of
the case and bracelet caused
by dust, moisture and
perspiration, wipe them
periodically with a soft dry cloth.

■ PERIODIC CHECK

It is recommended that the
watch be checked once every

2 - 3

Years

SEIKO DEALER or SERVICE CENTER to
ensure that the case, crowns, buttons,
gasket and crystal seal remain intact.

2 to 3 years. Have your watch
checked by an AUTHORIZED

English

cosmetic spray, detergents, adhesives or
paints. Otherwise, the case, bracelet, etc.
may become discolored, deteriorated or
damaged.

watch to solvents (e.g., alcohol
and gasoline), mercury (i.e.,
from a broken thermometer),

■ PRECAUTION REGARDING
