Solution

Refer to “STANDARD CHARGING TIME” on page 11 to recharge the watch. Be careful not to conceal the watch under a sleeve.

When taking the watch off, place the watch in as bright a location as possible. (Make sure that the watch temperature is always kept below 60 ºC.)

Refer to “POWER SAVE FUNCTION” on pages 14-15.

If the watch moves at five-second intervals, immediately charge the watch.

For details, refer to “CHECKING THE CHARGING STATUS BY THE MOVEMENT OF THE SECOND HAND” on page 12.

No operation is needed (this is not a malfunction).

For details, refer to “AUTOMATIC HAND ALIGNMENT” on page 19.
