To set the time on your Seiko V172 Solar Watch, pull the crown out to the second click position. Turn the crown to set the desired time. Push the crown back in to the normal position once the time is set.
Expose the watch to sunlight or artificial light to charge it. Direct sunlight is most effective. Ensure the dial is facing the light source for optimal charging.
If your watch stops, it may need charging. Place it under a light source for a few hours. If it doesn't start, check for obstructions or contact a service center.
Pull the crown to the first click. Turn the crown to adjust the date. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM to prevent damage.
Time loss can occur if the watch is undercharged. Ensure it receives adequate light exposure daily. Persistent issues may require a service check.
Press the button at the 4 o'clock position to reset the stopwatch. Ensure the crown is pushed in for the stopwatch to function correctly.
A fully charged Seiko V172 Solar Watch can run for approximately 6 months without further exposure to light.
The Seiko V172 is water-resistant. Check the specific model's water resistance rating before swimming to ensure it's suitable for water activities.
Avoid exposing the leather strap to water, perfumes, or oils. Clean it with a soft, dry cloth and store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
It is recommended to service your Seiko V172 Solar Watch every 3 to 5 years to ensure its optimal performance and longevity.
