Your Watch
Eco-Drive (solar powered) watch
e 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 6 days after the insufficient
charge warning starts, the watch will stop.
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.
Replacement of Rechargeable Cell
Because the watch uses a rechargeable cell, you do not need
periodical cell replacement.
However, power consumption may increase aer using for an
extended period of time due to deterioration, and the power
may run out earlier than expected. To avoid this, we recommend
that you have your watch inspected (Charge basis) periodically.

CAUTION
To avoid injury
• Be particularly careful when wearing your watch while
holding a small child, to avoid injury.
• Be particularly careful when engaged in strenuous exercise or
work, to avoid injury to yourself and others.
• Do NOT wear your watch while in a sauna or other location
where your watch may become excessively hot, since there is
the risk of burns.
• Be careful when putting on and taking off your watch, since
there is a risk of damaging your fingernails, depending on the
manner in which the band is fastened.
• Do not go to bed wearing the watch to prevent from
unexpected injury or rash.
CAUTION
Precautions
• Always use the watch with the crown pushed in (normal
position). If the crown is of the screw lock-type, make sure it is
securely locked.
• Do NOT operate the crown when the watch is wet. Water may
penetrate into the watch, causing deterioration of water
resistance.
• If water enters the watch or the watch fogs up and does not
clear up even after a long time, consult your dealer or
Customer Support Center for inspection and/or repair.
• Please note the folowing even if the watch is highly
water-resistant.
•
If the watch is immersed in sea water, rinse with fresh water
and wipe completely with a dry cloth.
•
Do not splash water from the faucet directly on the watch.
•
Do not take a bath wearing the watch.
• If seawater enters the watch, place the watch in a box or plastic
bag and immediately take it in for repair. Otherwise, pressure
inside the watch will increase, and parts (crystal, crown,
buttons, etc.) may come off.
CAUTION
When Wearing your Watch
<Band>
• The durability of a leather band may be affected when wet
(fading, peeling of adhesive), owing to the properties of the
material. Moreover, wet leather may cause a rash.
• Perspiration or accumulated dirt may cause the leather or
rubber band to deteriorate. Be sure to replace it regularly.
• It is recommended to take off the watch if it gets wet, even if
the watch itself is water-resistant.
• Do Not wear the band too tightly. Try to leave enough space
between the band and your skin to allow adequate ventilation.
• The rubber (urethane) band may be stained by dyes or soil
present in or on clothing or other accessories.
Since these stains may not be removable, caution is required
when wearing your watch with items that tend to easily transfer
color (articles of clothing, purses, etc.). In addition, the band
may be deteriorated by solvents or moisture in the air. Replace
with a new one when it has lost elasticity or become cracked.
• Please ask immediately for the band adjustment and repair in
the following cases.
•
The band is found to be abnormal due to corrosion of metal, etc.
•
The pin comes out of the band.
<Temperature>
• The watch may stop or the function of the watch may be impaired
in extremely high or low temperature. Do not use the watch in
places where the temperature is outside the operating
temperature range as stated in the specifications.
<Static Electricity>
• The integrated circuits (IC) used in quartz watches are sensitive
to static electricity. Please note that the watch may not indicate
the correct time if exposed to intense static electricity.
<Magnetism>
• Analog quartz watches are powered by a step motor that uses a
magnet. Subjecting the watch to strong magnetism from the
outside can cause the motor to operate improperly and prevent
the watch from indicating the correct time. Do not allow the
watch to come into close proximity to magnetic health devices
(magnetic necklaces, magnetic elastic bands, etc.) or the
magnets used in the latches of refrigerator doors, clasps used
in handbags, the speaker of a cell phone, electromagnetic
cooking devices and so on.
<Strong Shock>
• Avoid dropping the watch or subjecting it to other strong impact.
It may cause malfunctions and/or performance deterioration as
well as damage to the case and bracelet.
<Chemicals, Corrosive Gasses and Mercury>
• If paint thinner, benzene or other solvents or products
containing these solvents (including gasoline, nailpolish
remover, cresol, bathroom cleaners and adhesives, water
repellent, etc.) are allowed to come into contact with the
watch, the may discolor, dissolve or crack the materials. Be
careful when handling these chemicals. Contact with mercury
such as that used in thermometers may also cause
discoloration of the band and case.
CAUTION
Always keep your Watch Clean
• Rotate the crown while it is pressed in fully and press the
buttons periodically so they do not become stuck due to
accumulations of foreign matter.
• The case and band of the watch come into direct contact with
the skin in the same manner as undergarments. Corrosion of
the metal or unnoticed soiling such as that caused by
perspiration and dirt can soil sleeves and other portions of
clothing. Keep your watch clean at all times.
• The case and band of the watch come into direct contact with
the skin. Rust, dirt or perspiration present on the watch’s body
or band may cause itching or a rash on your skin. Such
problems may also occur if you have an allergy to certain
metals or leather. If you think there is something wrong,
discontinue wearing the watch immediately and consult your
physician. For the metal band and case, use a brush with
neutral detergent to remove dirt and perspiration. For the
leather or rubber band, wipe off dirt with a dry cloth.
• Leather bands may become discolored by perspiration or dirt.
Always keep your leather band clean by wiping with a dry
cloth.
CAUTION
Recharging Precautions
• Do not charge the watch at a high temperature (about 60°C or
higher) as doing so may cause the movement to malfunction.
Examples:
• Charging the watch too close to a light source which generates
a large amount of heat such as an incandescent lamp or
halogen lamp.
* When charging under an incandescent lamp, be sure to leave
50cm or more between the lamp and the watch to avoid
exposing the watch to excessive heat.
• Charging the watch in a location where the temperature may
become extremely high such as on the dashboard of a vehicle.
Caring for your Watch
• Wipe any dirt or moisture such as perspiration from the case
and crystal with a soft cloth.
• For a metallic, plastic or rubber watchband, wash any dirt off
with water. Remove the small amounts of dirt trapped
between the crevices of the metallic band with a soft brush.
• If you will not be using your watch for an extended period of
time, carefully wipe off any perspiration, dirt or moisture and
store in a proper location, avoiding locations subject to
excessively high or low temperatures and high humidity.
• Wipe off dirt from the leather or rubber band with a dry cloth.
About the Watch with Luminous Paint
The paint on the dial and hands helps you with reading the time
in a dark place. The luminous paint stores daylight or artificial
light (not including incandescent lighting) and glows in a dark
place. It is free from any radioactive substance or any other
material harmful to a human body or environment.
• The light emission gradually becomes weaker as time passes.
• The duration of the light (“glow”) will vary depending on the
brightness, types of and distance from a light source, exposure
time, and the amount of the paint.
• The paint may not glow and/or may dissipate quickly if
exposure to light was not sufficient.
WARNING
Handling of Rechargeable Cell
• The rechargeable cell should never be removed from the
watch. If for any reason it becomes necessary to remove the
rechargeable cell from the watch, keep out of the reach of
children to prevent accidental swallowing. If the rechargeable
cell is accidentally swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.
• Do not dispose of the rechargeable cell with ordinary garbage.
Please follow the instructions of your municipality regarding
collection of batteries to prevent the risk of fire or
environmental contamination.
WARNING
Use Only the Specied Battery
• Never use a battery other than the rechargeable cell specified
for use in this watch. Although the watch structure is designed
so that it will not operate when another type of battery is
installed, if a silver battery or other type of battery is installed
in the watch and the watch is recharged, there is the risk of
overcharging which may cause the battery to rupture. This
can cause damage to the watch and injury to the wearer. When
replacing the rechargeable cell, always make sure to use the
designated rechargeable cell.
