FAQs
What does '100 meters water resistance' mean?
A water resistance rating of 100 meters (10 ATM) means the watch is suitable for everyday use and can withstand splashes, rain, showering, swimming, and snorkeling. It is generally not recommended for scuba diving or high-impact water sports.
How often should the battery be replaced?
Battery life typically ranges from 2 to 3 years, though it can vary. The second hand usually indicates a low battery by moving in two-second intervals (End-of-Life indicator). It's recommended to have the battery replaced by a professional to ensure proper sealing.
Can I change the strap myself?
The watch comes with a stainless steel bracelet. While technically possible to change, it requires specific tools and care to avoid scratching the watch or damaging the spring bars. Professional assistance is recommended for strap changes if you're not experienced.
Is the sapphire crystal truly scratch-proof?
Sapphire crystal is highly scratch-resistant, making it very durable for daily wear. However, it is not entirely scratch-proof and can still be scratched by materials harder than sapphire, such as diamonds or specialized industrial materials.
How do I clean the stainless steel bracelet?
You can clean the stainless steel bracelet with a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and a mild soap-water solution to remove dirt and grime from the links. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water and dry completely with a soft cloth. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before wetting the watch.
What is the warranty period for this watch?
Info needed: Please refer to your purchase documentation or contact Seiko customer service for specific warranty details for your region.
Troubleshooting
Watch is not running or has stopped
Check if the crown is pushed in fully. If it is, the battery might need replacement. Consult a qualified watchmaker for battery replacement.
Chronograph hands do not reset to the '12' o'clock position
This often indicates misaligned chronograph hands. Refer to the watch's specific module instructions (often available on Seiko's website by MPN) for the procedure to adjust the chronograph hand zero positions, which typically involves pulling the crown out and using the pushers.
Moisture or fog appears under the crystal
This could indicate a compromised seal. Avoid further water exposure and take the watch to a professional watch repair service immediately to prevent internal damage.
Watch loses or gains significant time
While quartz movements are highly accurate, significant deviation could indicate a problem with the movement or a nearly depleted battery. Have it inspected by a professional watchmaker.

Setting the Time and Date

Using the Chronograph
- Start/Stop: Press the upper button to start the chronograph. Press it again to stop.
- Reset: While the chronograph is stopped, press the lower button to reset all chronograph hands to their '12' o'clock (zero) position.
- Adjusting Chronograph Hand Position: If chronograph hands do not reset to zero, consult the 'Troubleshooting' section.
Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the watch regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt and oils. For stubborn grime, a slightly damp cloth can be used on the case and bracelet, avoiding direct contact with the crown if not fully pushed in.
- Water Resistance: While rated for 100 meters, avoid operating the crown or pushers underwater. Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to salt water to prevent corrosion.
- Avoid Extremes: Protect your watch from extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, and harsh chemicals (e.g., solvents, detergents, perfumes).
- Battery Replacement: The quartz movement is powered by a battery. When the second hand begins moving in two-second intervals, it indicates a low battery and requires replacement by a qualified watchmaker.
- Storage: When not wearing, store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
