Movement
The second hand moves at
2-second intervals.
The energy depletion forewarning function is activated.
(P. 33)
If the second hand moves at 2 or 5-second intervals while
you wear the watch everyday, the watch is in a condition
where it cannot acquire sufficient light, for instance, the
watch is concealed under a long sleeve shirt.
Charge the watch sufficiently until the second hand moves
at 1-second intervals and the indicator hand points to the
“middle” position or “full” position.
Be careful not to conceal the watch under a sleeve, etc., while wearing it.
When taking off the watch, place it in as bright a location as possible.

The power save function 1 has been activated (P. 34)
When the watch has not been exposed to sufficient
light continuously, the power save function 1 to limit
energy consumption is automatically activated.
When the watch is exposed to light, the hand will rapidly advance and return to
the current time.
When the watch returns to the current time, use it as is. (This is not an
abnormal movement.)

normal 1-second interval
movement.

The indicator hand continues to spin while the date
