(year, month, and day).

Note

The watch’s built-in full automatic calendar makes allowances for different month

lengths and leap years. Once you set the date, there should be no reason to change
it except after you have the watch’s rechargeable battery replaced or after power
drops to Level 3.

Using the Stopwatch

The stopwatch measures elapsed time and split times.

Hand Functions

x Second Hand: Indicates the stopwatch 1/10-second

count.

v Left Dial Hand: Indicates the stopwatch 1/100-second

count.

n

n Right Dial Hands: Indicate the stopwatch minutes and

This indicates the Stopwatch Mode.

Now you can perform either of following stopwatch operations.

The Stopwatch Mode can indicate elapsed time up to 23 minutes, 59.99 seconds.

In the following cases, the hands of the watch are moving, so pressing

D or B will

not perform any stopwatch operation.

While the hands are moving to elapsed timekeeping after you enter the Stopwatch

Mode
While the watch is changing dates at midnight

Once started, stopwatch timing continues until you press

B to stop it, even if you

exit the Stopwatch Mode to another mode or timing reaches the stopwatch limit
defi ned above.
Whenever you enter the Stopwatch Mode, the hands of the watch move to their

initial Stopwatch Mode positions. If you did not reset the stopwatch the last time you
used it, the hands will return to the positions they were in the last time you exited the
Stopwatch Mode.
The

x Second Hand indicates the 1/10-second count for the fi rst 30 seconds of

a stopwatch elapsed time operation. After that, the hand stops at 0. 1/10-second
timing continues internally after the fi rst 30 seconds, and the

x Second Hand will

jump to the current value whenever

B (Stop) or D (Split) is pressed.

Though the

v Left Dial Hand is stopped while an elapsed time measurement

operation is in progress, the watch keeps track of the 1/100-second count internally.
The

v Left Dial Hand will jump to the current 1/100-second reading whenever you

stop the stopwatch or perform a split time operation.

Checking the Current Time in a Different Time Zone

You can use the World Time Mode to view the current time in one of 29 time
zones around the globe. Each time zone has a “city code”, which is a three-letter
abbreviation of a representative city in the zone. The representative city of the time
zone that is currently selected in the World Time Mode is called the “World Time City”.

Hand Functions
x

x Second Hand: Indicates the currently selected World

Time City.

v

v Left Dial Hand: Indicates the current STD (standard

time) or DST (daylight saving time)
setting of the currently selected World
Time City.

n

n Right Dial Hands: Indicate the current time in the

selected World Time City in 24-hour
format.

To view the time in another time zone

Use

1.

C to move the v Left Dial Hand to STD or DST.

This indicates the World Time Mode.

Use

2.

D to move the x Second Hand to the city code you want to select as the

World Time City.

The

n Right Dial Hands will move to the current time in the currently selected

World Time City. At this time, the

z Hour Hand and c Minute Hand will continue

to indicate the current time in the Home City.
For full information on city codes, see the “City Code Table”.

If you think that the time indicated for the selected World Time City is not correct,

it probably means that there is something wrong with your Home City settings.
Use the procedure under “To confi gure Home City settings” to correct the Home
City settings.

To specify standard time or daylight saving time (DST) for a time zone

Hold down

A for two
seconds

>



In the World Time Mode, use

1.

D to select the city code

for the time whose setting you want to change.

Wait until the

n Right Dial Hands complete their move

to the time in the currently selected World Time City.
You will not be able to perform step 2 of this procedure
until the hands stop moving.

Hold down

2.

A for about two seconds until the watch

beeps. This will cause the

v Left Dial Hand to toggle

between DST (daylight saving time) and STD (standard
time).

Note that you cannot switch between

STD (standard

time)/DST (daylight saving/summer time) while UTC is
selected as the World Time City.
Note that the

STD (standard time)/DST (daylight

saving/summer time) setting affects only the currently
selected time zone. Other time zones are not affected.

Swapping your Home City and World Time City
You can use the procedure below to swap your Home City and World Time City. This
capability can come in handy when you frequently travel between two locations in
different time zones.

The following example shows what happens when the Home City and World Time
City are swapped while the Home City originally is TYO (Tokyo) and the World Time
City is NYC (New York).

Home City

World Time City

Before swapping

Tokyo

10:08 p.m.

(Standard time)

New York

9:08 a.m.

(Daylight saving time)

After swapping

New York

9:08 a.m.

(Daylight saving time)

Tokyo

10:08 p.m.

(Standard time)

To swap your Home City and World Time City

In the World Time Mode, use

1.

D to select the World

Time City you want.

In this example, you would move the

x Second Hand

to NYC in order to select New York as the World
Time City.
Wait until the

n Right Dial Hands complete their move

to the time in the currently selected World Time City.
You will not be able to perform step 2 of this procedure
until the hands stop moving.

Hold down

2.

B for about three seconds until the watch

beeps.

This will make the World Time City (

NYC in this

example) your new Home City. At the same time, it will
change the Home City you had selected prior to step 2
(TYO in this example) to your World Time City.
After swapping the Home City and World Time City,

the watch will stay in the World Time Mode. The

x Second Hand will point to your new World Time City
(TYO in this example).
The

n Right Dial Hands will indicate the current time in

your new World Time City.

Note

If your current World Time City supports time calibration signal reception, making it

your Home City enables calibration signal reception for that city.

Using the Alarm

When the alarm is turned on, an alarm will sound for about 10 seconds each day
when the time in the Timekeeping Mode reaches the preset alarm time. This is true
even if the watch is not in the Timekeeping Mode.

This indicates the Alarm Mode.

Use

2.

D (+) and B (–) to change the alarm time setting.

Each press of either button will move the

n Right Dial Hands one minute.

Holding down

D or B will start high-speed hand movement in the applicable

direction. To stop high-speed hand movement, press any button.
The alarm always works based on the time kept in the Timekeeping Mode.

The watch will return to the Timekeeping Mode automatically if you do not perform

any operation in the Alarm Mode for about two or three minutes.
