Please carefully read the

instructions in this Complete User

Guide before using the watch.

Length adjustment service for metallic bands is

available at the retailer from whom the watch was

purchased. If you cannot have your watch repaired

by the retailer from whom the watch was purchased

because you received the watch as a gift, or you moved

to a distant place, please contact SEIKO WORLDWIDE

SERVICE NETWORK.The service may also be available

on a chargeable basis at other retailers, however, some

retailers may not perform the service.

If your watch has a protective film for preventing

scratches, make sure to peel it off before using the

watch. If the watch is used with the film on it, dirt, sweat,

dust, or moisture may be attached under the film and

may cause corrosion.

GPS signal reception

　Features

This is a GPS* solar watch.

Standard Charging Time

This watch can be set to the precise

local time by just one button

operation



anywhere in the world.



DST (Daylight Saving Time) can be set manually.

This watch quickly adjusts the time by

receiving GPS signals

from GPS satellites.

This watch responds to

a total of 40 time zones

around the world.

When the region or time

zone where the watch is

used is changed, please

carry out operation of

“time zone adjustment.”

GPS signal reception consumes a lot of energy. It is necessary to charge the watch by exposing it to light so

that the indicator hand points to the “middle” or “full” position. (If the charging status is displayed as “low,” the

reception will not start even with manual GPS signal reception.)

The figures of “Time required for charging the watch to start moving at one- second intervals” are estimations of time required to charge the stopped

watch by exposing it to light until it moves at steady one-second intervals. Even if the watch is partially charged for a shorter period, the watch will

resume one-second- interval movement. However, it may shortly return to two-second-interval movement. Use the charging time in this column as a

rough guide for sufficient charging time.

The required charging time slightly varies depending on the design and the dial color of the watch.

When the energy

stored in the watch

runs out completely,

it takes time to fully

charge the watch,

so please keep in

mind to charge the

watch regularly.

Solar charging Function

This watch operates by solar charging.

Expose the dial to light to charge the watch.

Once fully charged, the watch runs for

approximately 6 months.

Automatic time adjustment function

This watch automatically adjusts the time in

accordance with action patterns during use.

When the watch has sensed sufficient brightness under

an open sky, it automatically receives GPS signals

from GPS satellites. This function enables the watch to

automatically adjust

the time precisely

even while you are

using the watch.

This watch is

unable to receive

GPS signals

when the energy

stored in the

watch is low.

GPS is an abbreviation for Global Positioning System.

Time zone

Based on Coordinated UniversalTime (UTC), the standard time commonly used is adopted by countries and regions

around the world.The standard time is determined by each country or region, and the region where the same standard

time is adopted is referred to as the time zone, and presently, the time zone is divided into 40 zones.

Further, DST (Daylight SavingTime) is individually adopted in countries and regions.

DST (Daylight SavingTime)

Depending on the area, DST (Daylight SavingTime) is individually set.

Daylight SavingTime, or summer time, is a system to lengthen daylight time by advancing 1 hour when daylight time

is longer during summer. Daylight saving time has been adopted in about 80 countries, mainly in Europe and North

America.The adoption and duration of daylight saving time varies depending on the country.

Daylight SavingTime is subject to change due to circumstances of the country or region.

Coordinated UniversalTime (UTC)

UTC is the universal standard time coordinated through an international agreement. UTC is the primary time standard

for recording time around the world. The time obtained by adding a leap second to the “International Atomic Time (TAI)”

is determined based on the atomic clock around the world. It is coordinated in order to compensate for deviations from

universal time (UT) which is astronomically determined by the UTC.

Each time zone is based on data as of January 2014.

Please be advised that regions for which the time zone is changed after 2014 cannot be accurately reflected.

11 12

　Time zone display and list of time zones around the world

The inclusion of city codes and time differece indicators

from UTC may vary by watch model.

A “·” between figures of the display of time difference

shows that there is a time zone in that location.

Display of

time difference

The following list shows the relationship between

displays of the bezel and dial ring and time difference

from the UTC.

Please refer to the second hand positions below to set

the time zone or to check the time zone setting.

DST (Daylight SavingTime) is used in time zones with a mark.

In the Lord Howe Island time zone in Australia with a mark, the time is

advanced by 30 minutes while Daylight SavingTime (SummerTime) is in effect.

This watch corresponds to DST in the Lord Howe Island time zone.

The time zone of each region and DST (Daylight SavingTime) are as of

January 2014.

　Time Zone Adjustment

Go to a place where

GPS signals can be

easily received

Move to the outdoors

under an open sky

with good visibility.

When the second hand

points to “Y” or “N,”

reception is completed.

During movement of the

date, the buttons cannot be

operated.

Manually set Daylight Saving

Time (DST).

The reception result is

displayed for 5 seconds.

Then, the hour and minute

hands move, and the time

and date are adjusted. (The

time zone is also adjusted

to the local time zone.)

Continue to press Button B (6 seconds),

and then release it when the second hand

moves to the 30-second position.

Although the small second hand moves to the

0-second position 3 seconds after pressing

Button B, continue to press it.

When the second hand has reached

the 30-second position, reception is

started.

The indicator hand points to “4+.”

While the indicator hand points to “low” or ,

reception is not started even with operation

for reception.

When the hand points to “low,” charge the

watch by exposing it to light.

Check whether the watch is able/unable to

receive GPS signals

When the hand points to , reset the in-

flight mode ( ).

Press for

6 seconds.

3Direct the watch face upward and

The second hand indicates ease of

receiving (= number of GPS satellites

from which GPS signals are received).

Even when the hand

points to 4 units or more,

reception may not be

allowed.



Please note that it may be difficult to receive

GPS signals while you are in motion.

To cancel the

reception, press

Button A.

It takes a maximum

of 2 minutes to

complete reception.

It depends on the

receiving conditions.

DST (Daylight Saving Time) can be set manually.

How to adjust the time zone

Time zone adjustment

Precautions on time zone adjustment

If the time zone is adjusted near a time zone boundary, the time of the adjacent time zone may be displayed.

In some areas the boundaries observed by the watch may not exactly correlate to the actual time zone markers on the land.

This does not indicate a malfunction. In this case, set the time zone in the manual time zone setting mode.

When the time zone is adjusted while traveling on land, avoid time zone boundaries to carry out time zone adjustment in the

representative cities in the time zone whenever possible. In addition, when the watch is used near time zone boundaries, make

sure to check the time zone setting, and manually set the time zone as necessary.

When the stopwatch is operating, the reception function will not be activated.

hand moves to display the

currently set time zone.

Push the crown back in

The stopwatch 1/5-second
