ξIf you are in an area where signal reception is not possible, the watch keeps time with the precision noted in “Specifications” (page E-44).

ξThe receive operation is disabled under any of the following conditions.

While power is at Level 2 or Level 3 (page E-10)

While the watch is in the power recovery mode (page E-11)
