Extended Product Information
FAQs
How do I ensure my Eco-Drive watch stays charged?
Expose your watch to any light source regularly. Natural sunlight is most effective, but artificial light also works. Avoid storing it in dark places for extended periods. A power reserve indicator helps monitor the charge level.
What is atomic timekeeping and how does it work?
Atomic timekeeping is a technology where the watch automatically receives radio signals from atomic clocks. These signals carry precise time data, allowing the watch to synchronize automatically, ensuring ultimate accuracy.
Can I wear this watch while swimming or showering?
The watch is water-resistant. However, it is not explicitly rated for swimming or showering unless specified in the detailed product specifications. It's best to consult the specific water-resistance rating (e.g., 30m, 50m, 100m) and use caution.
How do I set the time zone for different cities?
Use the crown and pushers according to the user manual. You will typically select your home city from a list of 43 supported cities, and the watch will automatically adjust to that time zone and date.
What is the advantage of a perpetual calendar?
A perpetual calendar automatically accounts for the number of days in each month and leap years, meaning you do not need to manually adjust the date at the end of February or for months with fewer than 31 days.
Is the sapphire crystal scratch-proof?
Sapphire crystal is extremely hard and highly scratch-resistant, but not entirely scratch-proof. It can still be scratched by very hard materials like diamond or by extreme impact.
Troubleshooting
Watch not running or second hand moving erratically
The watch may need charging. Expose it to sufficient light. If fully charged and still not running, ensure the crown is pushed in fully. If the issue persists, a manual reset or professional service may be required.
Atomic time synchronization fails
Ensure the watch is placed in an area with clear access to radio signals (e.g., near a window, away from electronic interference). Check that the correct city is set and that you are within a signal reception zone. Try manual synchronization as per the user manual.
Date is incorrect
Verify that the perpetual calendar is correctly set for the current year and month, and that the atomic synchronization has successfully updated the time. Manual adjustment may be needed if synchronization is not possible.
Chronograph not resetting to zero
The chronograph hands may need to be reset manually. Consult the user manual for instructions on how to reset the chronograph mechanism. This often involves pulling out the crown and using the pushers in a specific sequence.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Never needs a battery thanks to Eco-Drive technology.
- Exceptional accuracy through atomic timekeeping.
- Perpetual calendar simplifies date management, accounting for leap years.
- Durable construction with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.
- Versatile sporty-elegant design suitable for various occasions.
Cons
- Initial setup and understanding of advanced features may require time.
- Atomic time synchronization may not be available in all remote locations.
- While water-resistant, it is not suitable for deep diving.

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.
