FAQs

What is the water resistance rating of this watch?

The Seiko Conceptual Quartz Watch (SUR369P1) has a water resistance of 10 bar (100 meters), making it suitable for daily use, showering, and recreational swimming. It is not designed for diving or high-impact water sports.

How do I set the time and date on my watch?

To set the time, pull the crown out to the second click and rotate. To set the date, pull the crown out to the first click and rotate counter-clockwise. Always push the crown back fully when finished to ensure water resistance.

What type of crystal does this watch use?

This watch features a highly scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, which offers superior clarity and durability compared to standard mineral glass.

Can I adjust the watch bracelet myself?

Yes, the watch comes with a 'New Link Removal System' designed for easy at-home adjustment. Follow the arrows on the inside of the bracelet links to remove or add pins as needed.

What is the benefit of a titanium watch?

Titanium is significantly lighter than stainless steel (40% lighter), making the watch exceptionally comfortable for extended wear. It is also highly durable, corrosion-resistant, and hypoallergenic.

What is LumiBrite?

LumiBrite is Seiko's proprietary luminous paint applied to the hands and markers. It absorbs light energy quickly and glows brightly in the dark, improving readability in low-light conditions without needing a button press.

How often do I need to replace the battery?

As a quartz watch, it requires a battery. The typical battery life for the Caliber 6N52 movement is usually around 2 to 3 years. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a professional watch technician.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped running.

This is typically an indication that the battery needs to be replaced. Consult a professional watchmaker to have the battery replaced and the watch checked for proper resealing to maintain water resistance.

Date changes at noon instead of midnight.

The watch's internal 24-hour cycle is misaligned. Pull the crown out to the second click position (time-setting position) and advance the hour hand by 12 hours. Then, reset the correct time. The date should now change at midnight.

Bracelet feels too loose or too tight.

Utilize the New Link Removal System on the bracelet. Locate the arrows on the underside of the links and use a small tool or pin to carefully remove or add links until you achieve a comfortable fit. Ensure all pins are fully re-inserted.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  2. Setting the Date: Gently pull the crown out to the first click position. Rotate the crown counter-clockwise to adjust the date. *Avoid setting the date between 9:00 PM and 1:00 AM, as this can interfere with the date change mechanism.* Push the crown back into the normal position.

Using a small tool or pin, push in the direction of the arrow to remove pins and adjust the length. Ensure pins are securely re-inserted.

Compatibility

  • Wrist Size: The 40mm case is a versatile size that suits a wide range of wrist sizes.
  • Skin Sensitivity: The titanium bracelet is hypoallergenic, making it suitable for individuals with sensitive skin who may react to other metals like stainless steel.

Product Care

  • Cleaning: Regularly wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and smudges. For more thorough cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap, then wipe dry. *Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.*
  • Water Resistance: While water-resistant up to 10 bar (100 meters), it's advisable to avoid exposing the watch to hot water (e.g., hot showers or saunas) as temperature fluctuations can affect seals. Always ensure the crown is pushed fully in before any water exposure.
  • Avoid Extreme Conditions: Protect the watch from extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, and strong shocks, which can affect its accuracy and longevity.
  • Battery Replacement: As a quartz watch, it will require a battery replacement every few years. When the watch stops, have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and function. Info needed: [Approximate battery life for 6N52 caliber, typically 2-3 years].
