Reference

This section contains more detailed and technical information about watch operation. It also contains important precautions and notes about the various features and functions of this watch.

Auto Return Features

If you leave the watch in the Alarm Mode for two or three minutes without performing any operation, it will return to regular timekeeping automatically.

If you do not perform any operation for about two or three minutes while a setting mode is selected, the watch will exit the setting mode automatically.

High-Speed Movement

The Dand B buttons are used to change the hand setting in various setting modes. In most cases, holding down these buttons will start high-speed movement of the applicable hand(s) and day.

High-speed movement of the hands and day will continue until you press any button, or until the moving hand(s) and day finish one complete cycle.

One complete cycle for the hands is 24 hours.

One complete cycle for the day is 31 days.

Timekeeping

The date will change automatically when the current time reaches midnight. The date change at the end of the month may take more time than normal.

The current time for all city codes in the Timekeeping Mode is calculated in accordance with Universal Time Coordinated (UTC*) data of each city, based on your Home City time setting.

*UTC is the world-wide scientific standard of timekeeping. It is based upon carefully maintained atomic (cesium) clocks that keep time accurately to within microseconds. Leap seconds are added or subtracted as necessary to keep UTC in sync with the Earth’s rotation. The reference point for UTC is Greenwich, England.
