Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup:
- Powering the Watch: Expose the watch to light (natural or artificial) until the second hand begins to move, indicating it is sufficiently charged. For full charge, refer to the manual, but typically a few hours of light are sufficient for basic operation.
- Atomic Time Synchronization: Ensure the watch is placed in an area with good reception for atomic signals, usually near a window at night. Follow the manual's instructions for manual synchronization initiation if needed.
- Setting World Time: Use the crown and pushers to select your home city from the 43 available options. The watch will then adjust accordingly.
Compatibility:
This watch is designed as a standalone timepiece and does not require connection to other devices for its core functions. Its atomic timekeeping relies on receiving signals from atomic clocks in specific regions (e.g., Japan, USA, Europe, China).
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents. For stubborn dirt, use a soft brush and mild soap, then rinse thoroughly and dry.
- Strap Maintenance: If the bracelet becomes dirty, it can be cleaned with mild soap and water, ensuring it is dried completely afterwards.
- Storage: Store in a place with adequate light exposure to maintain the Eco-Drive charge. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
