FEATURES
Unlike the conventional quartz watch powered by the button-type battery, the
KINETIC is an analog quartz watch equipped with an Automatic Generating System,
the unique technology developed by SEIKO, which generates electrical energy to
power the watch by utilizing the movement of the arm or wrist, and stores it in the
KINETIC ELECTRICITY STORAGE UNIT (KINETIC E.S.U.) The watch is provided with
the following additional functions.

POWER SAVE FUNCTION AND TIME RELAY FUNCTION

In order to conserve the stored electrical energy, the watch automatically enters
power save mode to stop the hands from moving approximately 24 hours after the
watch is taken off the wrist. When you
decide to wear the watch again, simply
swinging the watch several times will
awaken it and the hands will indicate the
correct time to resume normal operation.
❖
The time retrieved by the time relay function
may include a certain amount of time loss or
gain within the range of accuracy of the watch
( ±
15 seconds per month).
❖
In a case that the fully charged watch enters
the power save mode, the time relay function
of the watch remains operable for
approximately four years.

PERPETUAL CALENDAR FUNCTION

●Once set, the calendar automatically adjusts for odd and even months including
February of leap years. (Exceptionally, the manual adjustment at the end of
February is required for the years that are divisible by four but are not leap years,
which comes only once every hundred years, for example, the year 2100.)
✽
It takes approximately two seconds for the calendar to change its display. However, it may
take two minutes if the temperature is low or the stored electrical energy is being depleted.
●While the watch is in power save mode, the perpetual calendar continues to
function.
●Even if the watch is completely stopped due to a shortage of stored electrical
energy, the calendar can be manually adjusted by simple procedures.
❖
THE KINETIC E.S.U. is an abbreviation for KINETIC ELECTRICITY STORAGE UNIT, which is the
name of the power source employed in the KINETIC movements.
CAUTION
●The movement of your arm while the watch is worn generates electrical energy
to power the watch. Even if the watch is worn on your arm, it will not be charged
while your arm is not in motion.
●It is recommended that the watch be worn on your wrist daily for at least 10
hours.
