HOW TO USE
b WARNING
Do not use the watch in scuba diving or saturation diving.
The various tightened inspections under simulated harsh environment, which are
usually required for watches designed for scuba diving or saturation diving, have
not been conducted on the water resistant watch with the BAR (barometric
pressure) display. For diving, use watches specifically designed for diving.
b CAUTION
Do not pour running water directly from faucet.
The water pressure of tap water from a faucet is high enough to degrade the water
resistant performance of a water resistant watch for everyday life.

HOW TO USE
b WARNING
Do not use the watch in scuba diving or saturation diving.
The various tightened inspections under simulated harsh environment, which are
usually required for watches designed for scuba diving or saturation diving, have
not been conducted on the water resistant watch with the BAR (barometric
pressure) display. For diving, use watches specifically designed for diving.
b CAUTION
Do not pour running water directly from faucet.
The water pressure of tap water from a faucet is high enough to degrade the water
resistant performance of a water resistant watch for everyday life.

HOW TO USE
b CAUTION
Do not turn or pull out the crown when the watch is wet.
Water may get inside of the watch.
* If the inner surface of the glass is clouded with condensation or water droplets appear
inside of the watch for a long time, the water resistant performance of the watch is
deteriorated. Immediately consult the retailer from whom the watch was purchased or
SEIKO CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER.
Do not leave moisture, sweat and dirt on the watch for a long time.
Be aware of a risk that a water resistant watch may lessen its water resistant
performance because of deterioration of the adhesive on the glass or gasket, or
the development of rust on stainless steel.
Do not wear the watch while taking a bath or a sauna.
Steam, soap or some components of a hot spring may accelerate the
deterioration of water resistant performance of the watch.

WORLD TIME FUNCTION
■ What is a time zone?
Based on Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), the standard time commonly used is adopted by
countries and regions around the world.
The standard time is determined by each country or region, and the region where the same
standard time is adopted is referred to as the time zone.
Further, Daylight Saving Time (DST) is individually adopted in countries and regions.
[What is UTC (Coordinated Universal Time)?]
UTC is the universal standard time coordinated through international agreement. It is used as the official
time around the world. UTC is a time coordinated by adding leap seconds to the “International Atomic
Time (TAI)” determined from atomic clocks in the world, in order to correct the deviation from the
astronomically defined universal time (UT).
[What is summer time (DST)?]
Summer time is Daylight Saving Time (DST).
Advance the watch one hour to prolong daytime during longer daylight hours in summer.
The adoption and duration of Daylight Saving Time (DST) vary depending on the country.
* Time differences between regions and daylight saving time may change due to circumstances of a country or
region.
* In some regions, time zones that differ from UTC by half- or quarter-hour time differences are established. (For
example, some parts of India)

■ Q&A for the world time function
Q
:
Will the watch be automatically set to the local time when it is moved to a place outside Japan in a different time zone?
A
:
The watch will not be automatically set to the local time if it is just moved to a place outside Japan in a different time
zone.
When traveling abroad, select the time zone for that area.
The watch automatically displays the local time when the time zone is selected. (The time difference can be adjusted
in one-hour increments.)
After selecting the time zone, radio signals within the radio signal reception range are received and a more accurate
local time can be set. (The transmitting station from which to receive radio signals is changed by selecting the time
zone.)
Q
:
When returning to Japan from overseas, is the time automatically set to Japan time?
A
:
Just moving does not adjust your watch to Japanese local time.
When wearing a watch in Japan, set to Japan time by use of the world time function.
Q
:
The hands stop during operation of time zone selection setting, therefore, does time lag occur?
A
:
The internal circuit stores the time, therefore, no time lag occurs.
Q
:
When a time zone for a region other than the radio signal reception range is set, the watch will not receive a radio signal.
How is the accuracy of the watch at that time?
A
:
The watch has an accuracy of a normal quartz watch in that case. (Monthly rate: ±15 seconds)
Q
:
How is adjustment made to a local time with a time zone of 15 minutes or 30 minutes?
A
:
The time can be adjusted on a 1 hour basis by use of the time difference adjustment function. When adjusting to a local
time with a time difference of 15 minutes or 30 minutes, refer to “How to manually set the time” → P.73

■ Q&A for the world time function
Q
:
Will the watch be automatically set to the local time when it is moved to a place outside Japan in a different time zone?
A
:
The watch will not be automatically set to the local time if it is just moved to a place outside Japan in a different time
zone.
When traveling abroad, select the time zone for that area.
The watch automatically displays the local time when the time zone is selected. (The time difference can be adjusted
in one-hour increments.)
After selecting the time zone, radio signals within the radio signal reception range are received and a more accurate
local time can be set. (The transmitting station from which to receive radio signals is changed by selecting the time
zone.)
Q
:
When returning to Japan from overseas, is the time automatically set to Japan time?
A
:
Just moving does not adjust your watch to Japanese local time.
When wearing a watch in Japan, set to Japan time by use of the world time function.
Q
:
The hands stop during operation of time zone selection setting, therefore, does time lag occur?
A
:
The internal circuit stores the time, therefore, no time lag occurs.
Q
:
When a time zone for a region other than the radio signal reception range is set, the watch will not receive a radio signal.
How is the accuracy of the watch at that time?
A
:
The watch has an accuracy of a normal quartz watch in that case. (Monthly rate: ±15 seconds)
Q
:
How is adjustment made to a local time with a time zone of 15 minutes or 30 minutes?
A
:
The time can be adjusted on a 1 hour basis by use of the time difference adjustment function. When adjusting to a local
time with a time difference of 15 minutes or 30 minutes, refer to “How to manually set the time” → P.73

If the watch continues to be in the state of two-second interval movement, the watch switches to five-second
interval movement, followed by a completely stopped state.
If the energy depletion forewarning function is activated, charge the watch sufficiently.
“How to charge the battery” → P.40
“Guide to charging times” → P.41
* Neither the button nor the crown can be operated while the seconds hand moves at two-second or five-second
intervals. (This is not a malfunction.)
* While the seconds hand moves at five-second intervals, the hour and minutes hands, date, day of the week, and
sub dial stop operating.
* While the seconds hand moves at five-second intervals, the automatic reception function and manual reception
function will not work. After the watch is charged sufficiently and the seconds hand returns to normal one-second
interval movement, conduct the manual reception of radio signals to set the watch to the correct time. (“Automatic

SOLAR CHARGING FUNCTION
■ Power save function
This watch is equipped with a power save function which can suppress energy consumption when it is left without receiving
an adequate light source for a certain length of time.
* There are two types of power save mode.
Power Save 1 Power Save 2
Condition
The watch is exposed to a state without receiving an
adequate light source for 72 hours or longer.
The watch is in an insufficient charging state for a long
time.
Situation
The seconds hand
stops pointing at the
15-second position,
and the hour and
minutes hands, date,
day of the week, and
sub dial also stop.
The watch conducts
automatic radio signal
receiving.
The seconds hand
stops pointing at the
45-second position,
and the hour and
minutes hands, date,
day of the week, and
sub dial also stop.
The watch does not
conduct automatic
radio signal receiving.
How to
handle the
situation
When the watch is exposed to an adequate light source
for five seconds or longer, it displays the current time
again after the seconds hand is rapidly advanced.
After sufficiently charging the battery, set the watch for
the current time, if necessary.
Power Save 2
* While the watch is being charged, the seconds hand moves at “Five-second Intervals.” During the “Five-second Interval Movement,”
neither the button nor the crown can be operated.
* If the“ Power Save 2” mode is prolonged, the stored power amount drops and the internal current time information stored will be lost.
When the watch returns to its normal movement of one-second interval after sufficiently charging the battery, set the current time by
receiving a radio signal. (“Automatic reception and manual reception” → P.18)

Lumibrite
If your watch has Lumibrite
Lumibrite is a luminous paint that absorbs the light energy of sunlight and lighting apparatuses in a short
time and stores it to emit light in the dark. For example, if exposed to a light of more than 500 lux for
approximately 10 minutes, Lumibrite can emit light for 3 to 5 hours. Please note, however, that, as Lumibrite
emits the light it stores, the luminance level of the light decreases gradually over time. The duration of the
emitted light may also differ slightly depending on such factors as the brightness of the place where the
watch is exposed to light and the distance from the light source to the watch.
* In general, when coming from a place that is bright to a place that is dark, it takes human eyes some time to adapt
to the darkness making it difficult to see objects initially. (Dark adaptation)
* Lumibrite is luminous paint that stores and emits light, which is harmless to human beings and the environment,
containing no toxic materials such as radioactive substances.

Band
The band touches the skin directly and becomes dirty with sweat or dust. Therefore, lack of care
may accelerate deterioration of the band or cause skin irritation or stain on the sleeve edge.
The watch requires a lot of attention for long usage.
●
Metallic band
• Moisture, sweat or soil will cause rust even on a stainless steel band if they are left for a long time.
•
Lack of care may result in a rash or cause a yellowish or gold stain on the lower sleeve edge of shirts.
• Wipe off moisture, sweat or soil with a soft cloth as soon as possible.
• To clean the soil around the joint gaps of the band, wipe it out in water and then brush it off with a soft
toothbrush.
(Protect the watch body from water splashes by wrapping it up in plastic wrap etc.)
Clean it off with a soft cloth.
• Because some titan bands use pins made of stainless steel, which has outstanding strength, rust may
form in the stainless steel parts.
• If rust advances, pins may poke out or drop out, and the watch case may fall off the band, or the clasp
may not open.
• If a pin is poking out, personal injury may result. In such a case, refrain from using the watch and request
repair.

atmospheric humidity.
•
Especially a translucent, white, or pale colored band easily adsorbs other colors, resulting in color smears
or discoloration.
• Wash out dirt in water and clean it off with a dry cloth.
(Protect the watch body from water splashes by wrapping it up in plastic wrap etc.)
• When the band becomes less flexible, have the band replaced with a new one. If you continue to use

Preliminary position
When the watch is unable to display the precise time, date or day even if it successfully receives a radio signal with the
correct time zone setting, the preliminary position may be misaligned.
The possible causes of misalignment of preliminary position are as follows:
In the case of having a strong impact
:
the misalignment may occur when dropping or hitting the watch.
In the case of a magnetic influence
:
the misalignment may occur when bringing the watch close to an object which
generates magnetism.
“Examples of common magnetic products that may affect watches” → P.51
* The condition “the preliminary position of hand is misaligned” means that compared to a health meter, “the zero position of a
meter is misaligned, causing a correct weight not to be displayed.”
■ Automatic hand position adjustment function (Adjustment of
preliminary positions of hour, minute and seconds hands)
The hour, minute, and seconds hands have an “automatic hand position adjustment function,” which automatically
corrects an incorrect preliminary position. Automatic hand position adjustment function activates at 12:00 both for the
AM and PM for the hour and minute hands and once a minute for the seconds hand.
*
This function works when the preliminary hand position is misaligned due to external factors such as strong impact or magnetic influence.
It does not work to adjust accuracy of the watch or slight deviations which may occur during the manufacturing process.
* The preliminary position of the hour and minute hands can also be manually adjusted.

AM and PM for the hour and minute hands and once a minute for the seconds hand.
*
This function works when the preliminary hand position is misaligned due to external factors such as strong impact or magnetic influence.
It does not work to adjust accuracy of the watch or slight deviations which may occur during the manufacturing process.
* The preliminary position of the hour and minute hands can also be manually adjusted.

The preliminary position of the date is the “1st”.
The preliminary position of the day hand is “ S.”
(Sunday)
The preliminary positions of the hour and minute
hands are “0:00 AM”.
When the preliminary positions are incorrect, the correct date, day of the week or time cannot be displayed

In such a case, by correcting the preliminary positions, wrong date or day indication, loss or gain of the time
can be corrected.
When the numerical number of the date is not located at the center of the window, it can be corrected by
the same procedures as mentioned above.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Preliminary position
When the watch is unable to display the precise time, date or day even if it successfully receives a radio signal with the
correct time zone setting, the preliminary position may be misaligned.
The possible causes of misalignment of preliminary position are as follows:
In the case of having a strong impact
:
the misalignment may occur when dropping or hitting the watch.
In the case of a magnetic influence
:
the misalignment may occur when bringing the watch close to an object which
generates magnetism.
“Examples of common magnetic products that may affect watches” → P.51
* The condition “the preliminary position of hand is misaligned” means that compared to a health meter, “the zero position of a
meter is misaligned, causing a correct weight not to be displayed.”
■ Automatic hand position adjustment function (Adjustment of
preliminary positions of hour, minute and seconds hands)
The hour, minute, and seconds hands have an “automatic hand position adjustment function,” which automatically
corrects an incorrect preliminary position. Automatic hand position adjustment function activates at 12:00 both for the
AM and PM for the hour and minute hands and once a minute for the seconds hand.

This function works when the preliminary hand position is misaligned due to external factors such as strong impact or magnetic influence.
