8. Viewing the Charge Indicator
• This charge indicator provides a general indication of the current level at which the
secondary battery is charged to one of four levels.
• The charge indicator hand points to the center of each level.
• The charge indicator only provides a rough estimate of the level at which the secondary
battery is charged. You can refer to this level when using your watch. It is recommended
that the watch normally be charged to at least level 2.
Note: When the charge level indicator hand points to “CHARGE”, there is hardly any
charge left in the secondary battery and the second hand moves at 2-second intervals.
The secondary battery will become completely depleted about 7 days later at which
time the watch will stop. Always make sure to charge the watch before it reaches
this state.
Remaining Charge: 1. The approximate amount of time the watch will continue to operate
without additional exposure to light.
2. This varies according to the usage frequency of the chronograph,
alarm, etc.

9. General Reference for Charging Times
The time required for charging varies according to the model of the watch (color of the
dial, etc.). The following times are shown below to serve only as a reference.
* Charging time refers to the amount of time the watch
is continuously exposed to light.
Charging time for 1 day of operation:
Time required for charging the
watch to run for 1 day at 1-second
interval movement.
Full charging time:
Time required for charging the
watch from the stopped state to
ully charged.
Level 1: The watch is not charged
sufficiently for one-second
interval movement.
Charge the watch at least to
level 2.
