Product Usage Instructions

• Water-Resistance: To maintain water-resistance, do not press any buttons or pull out the crown under water unless your watch is indicated as 200 meter water-resistant. Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to saltwater. The watch is water-resistant only as long as the lens, push buttons, and case remain intact.
• Shock-Resistance: The watch’s shock-resistance will be indicated on the watch face or caseback. However, care should be taken to avoid damaging the crystal/lens.
• Date Models: To set the time in date models, pull the crown all the way out and turn it to the correct time. Push the crown in to restart. For screw-in setting crown, push the crown in while turning clockwise to tighten. Note the correct time of day (A.M or P.M.) for proper date function. To set the day, pull the crown to the middle position and turn clockwise until the correct day appears. If the day does not change, pull the crown to the out position and turn clockwise or counterclockwise through necessary number of 24 hour periods until the correct day appears. To set the date, turn the crown counterclockwise until the correct date appears. Push the crown in when finished.
• Day/Date Models: To set the current day displayed in the desired language, pull the crown to the middle position and turn it clockwise until the correct day appears. Push the crown in to the A position. If your watch is equipped with a GMT function, you may set the 4th center hand to display a 2nd time zone. Pull the crown out to the B position and turn it clockwise to the correct date. Turn it counterclockwise to the correct 4th hand position for the 2nd time zone you are tracking. Push in the crown to the A position.
• Crown Position: Wearing or storing the watch with the crown in the middle position will cause damage to the movement. Always return the crown to the normal position, or if you wish to save the battery life while storing the watch, leave the crown in the out position.
• Date Function: The date function advances the date between the hours of 10 PM and 2 AM. Avoid setting the date during this timeframe. If you attempt to set the date during this time period, rotate the crown at a very slow rate to avoid damaging the watch.

HOW TO START YOUR WATCH

Quartz Movement: To start your watch remove the plastic guard from under the crown, then press the crown in against the case. The second hand will begin advancing in one-second intervals.
Some deep-depth water-resistant watches require the setting crown to be screwed in to secure water-resistance. If your watch case has a protrusion with screw threads, the crown must be screwed in after setting the watch.
To screw in, push the crown firmly against the threaded protrusion and hold
in while turning the crown clockwise. Continue to screw in the crown until it is tight. You will need to unscrew the crown (counter-clockwise) before pulling it out the next time you want to set your watch.

Solar Movement: The watch includes a solar cell that charges its battery. Expose the watch in direct sunlight, sunlight through a window, or artificial
(indoor) lighting to charge the battery prior to use. When fully charged, the watch may function without additional charging for up to 2 months.
To start your watch, remove the plastic guard from under the crown, then press the crown in against the case. The second hand will begin advancing in one- second intervals.
Charging happens faster while in direct sunlight and slower when indoors. A depleted battery may be charged by exposing the dial to sunlight for several days. Wear watch so that the sleeve does not cover all or part of the dial and impede charging. Store watch where it will be exposed to light or the battery will run down and require a full charge. See the table below for more information.
WARNING: Leaving the watch in direct sunlight or close to a lamp may cause the watch to become hot. Handle with care.
After many years of use, if the battery becomes unable to charge fully, it may be replaced with a new rechargeable battery of the same type. Please see BATTERY section for details.

Illumination (Lx)| Light Source| Environment| Full Charge from Empty| Charge for One Day’s Operation
---|---|---|---|---
700| Fluorescent Light| Office Lighting| N/A| 100 Minutes
3,000| Incandescent Light| 150W Lamp (8” / 20cm distance)| 60 Hours| 25 Minutes
10,000| Sunlight| Cloudy Weather| 20 Hours| 8 Minutes
100,000| Sunlight| Clear Weather| 5 Hours| 2 Minutes

Hand-wind Movement: To start your watch remove the plastic guard from under the crown, set the Time and Date (if applies) then press the crown in against the case. Slowly turn the crown clock-wise until you feel resistance. You should hear the watch “ticking” and the second hand will begin to move. If the watch stops in the next 24 hours, you should increase the amount of clock- wise turns of the crown during the winding process until you find the watch will work for 24 hours without stopping. You should wind the watch each 24-hour period at approximately the same time of day to ensure the watch does not become fully un-wound and stops. If the watch stops, follow the instructions to set the Time and Date (if applies), and wind to start the watch again.
