FAQs
How often does the watch sync with the radio signal?
The watch is designed to attempt synchronization automatically at preset times, typically overnight. You can also initiate a manual sync if needed.
What does 'Radio Controlled' mean for a watch?
It means the watch automatically receives time signals from atomic clocks via radio waves, ensuring extremely high accuracy without manual adjustment.
How long does the battery last on a full charge?
With a full charge and in normal use, the watch can operate for several months to over a year in power-saving mode without light exposure, depending on features used.
Can I wear this watch for diving?
The watch has a water resistance of 200 meters, making it suitable for surface swimming and recreational diving, but not for professional saturation diving.
What is the strap material and size?
The strap is made of high-quality silver stainless steel, measuring 21 cm in length and 21 mm in width, with a fold-over clasp with a push-button release.
What is the warranty period for this watch?
The watch comes with a standard 2-year warranty against manufacturing defects.
How do I adjust the world time settings?
World time settings are adjusted through specific crown and button operations. Refer to the user manual for detailed instructions on selecting and displaying different city times.
Troubleshooting
Watch not syncing with radio signal
Ensure the watch is placed near a window, away from electronic devices. Try manually initiating the reception process as per the user manual. Check if you are within the watch's signal reception range for your region.
Second hand not moving or moving erratically
The watch may require charging. Expose it to a sufficient light source. If the issue persists after charging, a manual reset or professional inspection may be needed.
Time or date is incorrect after setting
Verify that the correct time zone is selected. Attempt a manual radio reception to synchronize with the atomic clock. Ensure the watch is not in a mode where manual adjustment is locked.
Luminous hands not glowing brightly
The luminous material needs to be 'charged' by exposure to light. Expose the watch to a bright light source for a few minutes for maximum glow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup: To begin, expose the watch to sufficient light (natural or artificial) to ensure the solar cell is charged. For radio-controlled timekeeping, ensure the watch is placed in an area with good reception, typically near a window, away from electronic interference. Consult the user manual for specific instructions on selecting your local time zone and initiating the radio reception.
Compatibility: The radio-controlled feature is designed to sync with atomic time signals in specific regions (e.g., Japan, USA, Europe, China). The watch's ability to receive signals depends on your geographical location.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Clean the stainless steel case and bracelet with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch the surface. For the bracelet, a soft brush can help clean between links.
- Water Resistance: While rated at 200m, it is recommended to rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to saltwater or chlorinated water. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in or screwed down before exposure to water.
- Charging: Regularly expose the watch to light to maintain optimal battery charge. If the watch has been stored in darkness for an extended period, it may require a full charge. Avoid extreme temperatures.
