Wearing the watch continuously for 12 hours will accumulate approximately one and a half additional days of power reserve.

If you wear the watch every day for 12 hours over a period of a week, approximately 10 days of power reserve will be secured in the KINETIC E.S.U., which will keep the watch operating for approximately 2 months when the hands are stopped by the power save function.

Precautions for those only wearing the watch occasionally

If you use the watch only occasionally, it is likely that, when you decide to use it, you will find the hands have stopped and the power save function has been activated. Before wearing the watch, be sure to use the time relay function to awaken the watch following the procedure in “How to activate the time relay function”.

*To use the power reserve more efficiently, it is recommended that the manual power save function be used as often as possible when you remove the watch from your wrist.

REMARKS ON THE KINETIC E.S.U.

Precaution

Do not pull the crown out to the second click to stop the hands with the intention of saving the energy stored in the KINETIC E.S.U. By doing so, a large amount of current flows through

the built-in IC, and therefore, pulling out the crown will not save energy but actually consume more energy than usual. Instead, use the manual power save function to conserve the power

Cal. 5J22 5J32 specifications

The Seiko Caliber 5J22 and 5J32 are remarkable quartz movements that exemplify Seiko's commitment to precision and innovation in the world of horology. These calibers are part of the Seiko family renowned for their reliability, durability, and accuracy, making them ideal for a wide variety of timepieces ranging from sport watches to elegant dress watches.

One of the main features of the Cal. 5J22 and 5J32 is their quartz technology, which provides an exceptional level of accuracy. Unlike mechanical movements that can be affected by gravitational forces and position, these quartz calibers utilize a battery-powered oscillator that vibrates at a consistent frequency. This ensures that the timekeeping remains precise, often deviating only a few seconds per month, a remarkable feat for any watch.

The Cal. 5J22 is especially noted for its simplicity and ease of use. It features a three-hand configuration with hour, minute, and second hands, making it straightforward to read. The movement also incorporates a date function, which adds to its practicality for everyday wear. On the other hand, the Cal. 5J32 offers similar functionality but includes a slightly more advanced mechanism and is often found in watches with additional complications.

Both calibers are designed with robustness in mind. They are built to withstand the rigors of daily life, featuring sturdy construction and materials that resist wear and corrosion. Seiko's engineering prowess ensures that these movements can endure shocks, making them suitable for active lifestyles and outdoor adventures.

Another noteworthy characteristic is the long battery life associated with the Cal. 5J22 and 5J32. Thanks to Seiko's efficient energy consumption technology, these movements typically boast a battery life that can last several years under normal operating conditions. This efficiency means less frequent battery changes, adding to the convenience for the wearer.

In summary, the Seiko Calibers 5J22 and 5J32 stand out for their accuracy, durability, and user-friendly features. With robust quartz technology at their core, these movements encapsulate Seiko's spirit of innovation and commitment to quality. Whether for sports, casual, or formal occasions, watches powered by these calibers are a testament to Seiko's exceptional craftsmanship, making them a popular choice among watch enthusiasts and everyday users alike.
