FAQs
How long does the Eco-Drive battery last?
The Eco-Drive power cell is designed to last for many years, often exceeding 10 years, with proper care and regular light exposure. It does not require replacement like a traditional battery.
What is the accuracy of the Satellite Wave GPS timekeeping?
The watch achieves atomic accuracy, meaning it is accurate to within 1 second every 100,000 years once synchronized with the atomic clock signal via satellite.
Can I wear this watch while swimming?
Yes, the watch is water-resistant to 100 meters, making it suitable for swimming and other water-related recreational activities.
How do I adjust for Daylight Saving Time?
The watch can automatically adjust for Daylight Saving Time when receiving a satellite signal, provided the DST function is enabled in the watch's settings.
Is this watch suitable for diving?
While rated to 100 meters, this watch is not designed or certified as a dive watch. It is suitable for recreational swimming but not for professional diving.
What does the 'Light in Dark' designation mean?
This refers to the watch's ability to be powered by any light source, including low light conditions, and its sophisticated design that may incorporate luminescent elements for legibility in the dark.
How many time zones can this watch display?
The watch offers world time functionality across 40 different time zones.
Troubleshooting
Watch not receiving satellite signal
Ensure the watch is exposed to sufficient light. Move to an outdoor location with a clear view of the sky. Check that the date and time are set correctly for your region and that 'Daylight Saving Time' is enabled if applicable.
Chronograph not resetting to zero
Perform a reset of the chronograph functions as per the user manual. Ensure the watch has adequate power reserve; low power can affect complex functions.
Watch stopped or running slow
The watch may require more light exposure to recharge the Eco-Drive power cell. Place the watch in direct sunlight or under a bright artificial light for several hours. Check the power reserve indicator.
DLC coating shows wear
While durable, DLC coating can be scratched. Avoid contact with extremely hard surfaces or abrasive materials. Minor wear is typical for extended use on coated surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup: To begin, expose the watch to a bright light source for at least 10 minutes to ensure the Eco-Drive power cell is sufficiently charged. To set the time and date, activate the satellite wave reception by pressing and holding the crown. Follow the on-screen prompts or consult the user manual for specific instructions on receiving satellite signals and setting your home time zone. The watch is compatible with all regions where satellite time signals are available.
Care Instructions: Clean the Super Titanium™ case and bracelet regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, which can damage the DLC coating or scratch the surface. When not in use for extended periods, store the watch in a well-lit area to maintain its charge. Ensure the crown is pushed in or screwed down (if applicable) to maintain water resistance. Periodically check that the satellite signal reception is active to confirm accurate timekeeping.
