Movement of the seconds hand shows the state of the watch (working functions).
Seconds hand movement and watch state (energy depletion forewarning function)
2-second interval movement/5-second interval movement are brought
about
When
the energy stored in the watch runs low, the energy depletion forewarning function
will work.
When the energy stored in the watch runs low, charge the watch by expose to light.→ How
to charge the watch P.

* When the energy depletion forewarning function works, the watch does not operate even with operation of the
buttons and crown.
(Be assured that it does not mean a failure)
2-second interval movement 5-second interval movement
State
The seconds hand moves at 2-second
intervals.
The seconds hand moves at 5-second
intervals.
Restriction on
function/display
• Reception is not started even with
operation of GPS signal reception.
• Automatic
time adjustment does not work.
• The hour and minute hands and the date
stop
• Reception is not started even with
operation of GPS signal reception.
• Automatic
time adjustment does not work.
Solution
① First, charge the watch by expose to light
until
the seconds hand moves at 1-second
intervals.
→ How to charge the watch P. 14
② Charge the watch until the energy level is
“middle” or “full”. (If the energy level is
“low”, GPS signals cannot be received.)
→ Check the charging status P. 13
① Charge the watch until the energy level is
“middle” or “full”.

Check the charging status P. 13
② Carry out time zone adjustment to set the
time.
→ How to adjust the time zone P. 20
The seconds hand stops at the 15-second position/45-second position
(Power save function)
When
the watch is not exposed to light for a long time, the power save function will work.
Power Save 1 Power Save 2
State
The seconds hand stops pointing at the 15-second
position.
The seconds hand stops pointing at the 45-second
position.
Restriction on
function/display
• The hour and minute hands and the date stop
• Automatic time adjustment is not performed.
• The hour and minute hands and the date stop
(The date becomes “1”)
• Reception is not started even with operation of
GPS signal reception.
• Automatic time adjustment is not performed.
Cause
When the watch is exposed to a state without
receiving an adequate light source for 72 hours or
longer.
When the watch is in an insufficient charging state
for a long time.
Solution
• When the watch is exposed to an adequate light
source for more than 5 seconds, or when any
button is pressed, it displays the current time
again after the seconds hand is rapidly
advanced.
① Charge the watch until the energy level is
“middle” or “full”.
→ Check the charging status P. 13
② Set the standard position of the date.
→ Set the standard position of the date and the
hour and minute hands P. 41
③ Carry out time zone adjustment to set the time.
→ How to adjust the time zone P. 20
Power Save 2
* While
the watch is being charged, the seconds hand moves at “5-second intervals.” During the “5-second Interval
Movement,” the buttons cannot 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.
