Outdoor Sunlight (50,000 lux) | 5 minutes |
Sunlight Through a Window (10,000 lux) | 24 minutes |
Daylight Through a Window on a Cloudy Day (5,000 lux) | 48 minutes |
Indoor Fluorescent Lighting (500 lux) | 8 hours |
•For details about the battery operating time and daily operating conditions, see the “Power Supply” section of the Specifications.
•Stable operation is promoted by frequent exposure to light.

Timekeeping
Daylight Saving Time (DST)
Daylight Saving Time (summer time) advances the time setting by one hour from Standard Time. Remember that not all countries or even local areas use Daylight Saving Time.
The time calibration signals transmitted from Mainflingen (Germany), Anthorn (England), or Fort Collins (the United States) include both Standard Time and DST data. When the Auto DST setting is turned on, the watch switches between Standard Time and DST (summer time) automatically in accordance with the signals.
•Though the time calibration signals transmitted by the Fukushima and Fukuoka/ Saga, Japan transmitters include summer time data, summer time currently is not implemented in Japan (as of 2009).
•The default DST setting is Auto DST (AvtA) whenever you select LIS, LON, MAD, PAR, ROM, BER, STO, ATH, MOW, TYO, ANC, YVR, LAX,YEA, DEN, MEX, CHI, MIA, YTO, NYC, YHZ, or YYT as your Home City code.
•If you experience problems receiving the time calibration signal in your area, it probably is best to switch between Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time (summer time) manually.
