About circumstantial reception
If the satellite time signal has not been received for an extended period of time,
this watch is equipped with a function which enables it to automatically receive
the time signal (circumstantial reception).
When the following five conditions are met, the watch will start automatic reception.

When compared to manual reception, circumstantial reception is more greatly
affected by positional and environmental conditions. Thus, the reception is far more
likely to fail. To adjust the time by receiving the time signal, perform manual
reception in an environment such as that described in “When receiving the satellite
time signal” on page 31.
