Installation

1. Charge initiale (Tough Solar)

Your watch is equipped with a Tough Solar power system, which converts light into electrical energy to charge the built-in rechargeable battery. For optimal performance, ensure the watch is exposed to light regularly.

• Place the watch where its face is exposed to bright light (e.g., near a window).
• Avoid covering the watch face with clothing while wearing it.
• A full charge can provide approximately 6 months of operation with normal function use, or up to 20 months in power-saving mode.

2. Time Calibration (Multi-Band 6 Radio Reception)

The watch automatically receives standard radio waves from six global stations (Japan, China, North America, Europe) to ensure accurate timekeeping.

• The watch attempts automatic reception up to 6 times a day (5 times for Chinese radio waves).
• For best reception, place the watch near a window or in an open area at night.
• Manual reception is also possible. Refer to the detailed operation guide for instructions.
• If radio wave reception is not possible, the watch operates with standard quartz accuracy (average monthly difference of ±15 seconds).
