> IN CASE OF AN UNUSUAL MOVEMENT OF THE SECONDS HAND > Seconds hand movement and watch state (energy depletion forewarning function)

Seconds hand movement and watch state (energy depletion forewarning function)

Movement of the seconds hand shows the state of the watch (working functions).

2-second interval movement/5-second interval movement are brought about

When the energy stored in the watch runs low, the energy depletion forewarning function will work.

When the energy stored in the watch runs low, charge the watch by exposure to light.How to charge the watch

When the energy depletion forewarning function works, the watch does not operate even with operation of the buttons and crown.
(Be assured that it does not mean a failure)

 

2-second interval movement

5-second interval movement

State

The seconds hand moves at 2-second intervals.

P32-1

The seconds hand moves at 5-second intervals.

P32-2

Restriction on function/display

Reception is not started even with operation of GPS signal reception.

Automatic time adjustment does not work.

The stopwatch function does not work.

The hour hand, minute hand, date, and sub-dial stop.

Reception is not started even with operation of GPS signal reception.

Automatic time adjustment does not work.

The stopwatch function does not work.

Solution

  1. First, charge the watch by exposure to light until the seconds hand moves at 1-second intervals.

    2. How to charge the watch

  2. Charge the watch until the multi-indicator hand returns to the day of the week display from a charging status display of “low.” (If the energy level is “low”, GPS signals cannot be received.)
    When the hand returns to the day of the week display, the energy level will be “middle” or “full.”

    3. Check the charging status

  1. Continue to charge the watch until the multi-indicator hand returns to the day of the week display from a charging status display of “low.”

    2. Check the charging status

  2. Carry out time zone adjustment to set the time.

    3. How to adjust the time zone

The seconds hand stops at the 15-second position/45-second position (Power save function)

When the watch is not exposed to light for a long time, the power save function will work.

 

Power Save 1

Power Save 2

State

The seconds hand stops pointing at the 15-second position.

P33-1

The seconds hand stops pointing at the 45-second position.

P33-2

Restriction on function/display

The hour hand, minute hand, date, and sub-dial stop.

Automatic time adjustment is not performed.

The hour and minute hands, date, and sub-dial stop.
(the date displays “1”, and the sub-dial displays 12:00 AM)

Reception is not started even with operation of GPS signal reception.

Automatic time adjustment is not performed.

The multi-function indicator hand points to “low.”

The stopwatch function does not work.

Cause

When the watch is exposed to a state without receiving an adequate light source for 72 hours or longer.

When the watch is in an insufficient charging state for a long time.

Solution

When the watch is exposed to an adequate light source for more than 5 seconds, or when any button is pressed, it displays the current time again after the seconds hand is rapidly advanced.

  1. Charge the watch until the multi-indicator hand returns to the day of the week display from a charging status display of “low.”

    2. Check the charging status

  2. Adjust the preliminary position for each hand.

    3. Setting the preliminary position of the sub-dial, stopwatch 1/20-second hand, multi-function indicator hand, date, and hour/minute hands

  3. Carry out time zone adjustment to set the time.

    4. How to adjust the time zone

Power Save 2

While the watch is being charged, the seconds hand moves at “5-second intervals.” During the “5-second Interval Movement,” the buttons cannot be operated.

If the “ Power Save 2” mode is prolonged, the stored power amount drops and the internal current time information stored will be lost.
