To set the time, ensure the watch is in Timekeeping mode. Press and hold the upper right button until the second hand points to the current time zone. Release the button; the watch will automatically adjust to the correct local time using GPS signals.
Make sure you are in an open area away from tall buildings and electronic interference. Hold the upper right button for about 3 seconds until the second hand moves to the 'Y' or 'N' position to indicate if the GPS signal is being received.
To manually receive a GPS signal, press and hold the lower right button for about 6 seconds until the second hand moves to the 30-second mark. The watch will start searching for a GPS signal.
Press the lower right button once. The second hand will point to the current battery level indicator on the scale (F for full, E for empty).
Pull out the crown to the first click. Turn the crown to set the hour and minute hands to the desired second time zone. Push the crown back in when finished.
Ensure the watch is exposed to light, as it is solar-powered. Avoid covering the dial. If it's still not charging, the solar cell might be blocked or malfunctioning, and you may need to consult a service center.
Regularly clean the watch with a soft cloth. Ensure it is exposed to light for proper charging, and have it inspected by a professional every 2-3 years for optimal performance.
The watch is water-resistant to 100 meters, suitable for swimming and snorkeling but not for diving. Ensure the crown is pushed in and buttons are not operated underwater.
To reset, press and hold both the upper right and lower right buttons simultaneously for about 5 seconds until the hands start moving. Release the buttons and allow the watch to reset itself.
If the hands are misaligned, perform a manual hand alignment. Pull the crown out to the second click and press the lower right button to adjust each hand to the 12 o'clock position. Push the crown back in to save the adjustment.
