12 hours for the hour hand.
<Date misalignment> Since the preliminary position is not automatically
adjusted, manually adjust the position.

The automatic time
adjustment function is not
activated every day
Conditions to activate the automatic time adjustment
function are not prepared.
Sufficient energy is necessary to activate the automatic time adjustment
function every day. Keep in mind to frequently expose your watch light to
charge its battery. The automatic time adjustment is automatically activated
by exposure to bright light when you are in a place that easily receives GPS
signals.
P. 29
Automatic reception is not
activated.
The watch is not in an environment where GPS signals
can be received at the moment when the watch is
exposed to light.
While the watch has a function that automatically starts receiving when exposed
to light, it also has a function that activates “automatic time adjustment” at the
time that “manual time adjustment” was last successful, even in environments
that are not exposed to light. Normally, we recommend that, to succeed with
manual time adjustment, do it at a specific time, at which you think you will be
in an environment that can receive GPS signals. Automatic time adjustment
function judges the situation. Thereby the automatic time adjustment function
gets activated even in the case of not been able to receive light.
