Movement
The second hand moves at
2-second intervals.
The energy depletion forewarning function is activated.
(
P. 32
)
If the second hand moves at 2 or 5-second intervals
while you wear the watch everyday, the watch is in a
condition where it cannot acquire sufficient light, for
instance, the watch is concealed under a long sleeve
shirt.
Charge the watch sufficiently until the second hand moves
at 1-second intervals and the indicator hand points to the
middle position or full position.
Be careful not to conceal the watch under a sleeve, etc., while wearing it.
When taking off the watch, place it in as bright a location as possible.

When the watch has not been exposed to sufficient
light continuously, the power save function 1 to limit
energy consumption is automatically activated.
When the watch is exposed to light, the hand will rapidly advance and return to
the current time.
When the watch returns to the current time, use it as is. (This is not an
abnormal movement.)

the automatic hand position alignment function.
No operation is needed (this is not an abnormal movement).
