CHANGING BATTERY IN ANALOGUE QUARTZ WATCH Because the battery is inserted at the factory to check the function and performance of the watch, its actual service life once in your possession may be less than the specified period. When the battery expires, make sure to replace it as soon as possible to prevent any malfunction. For battery replacement, we recommend that you contact an AUTHORIZED SEIKO DEALER and request they only use a genuine SEIKO battery. Battery life indicator If your analogue quartz watch has a second hand, the battery needs to be replaced when you see the second hand moving in two-second increments instead of the normal one-second increments. (Some calibres do not have this function. ) The watch will, however, remain accurate while the second hand is moving in two-second increments. 4. Pull out the crown to the second click, and advance the hour and minute hands until the desired date and day appears. * If your watch has three hands, pull out the crown when the second hand is pointing to 12 o'clock. 5.

Notes on calendar setting: 1 Do not change the calendar between 9:00 P. M. If it is necessary to set the calendar during that time period, first change the time to any time outside those hours, set the calendar and then reset the correct time. When the day shifts automatically to the next day, the other language will temporarily appear.

If the watch becomes wet, we suggest that you have it checked by an AUTHORIZED SEIKO DEALER or SERVICE CENTER. Water resistance (3 bar) If "WATER RESISTANT" is inscribed on the case back, your watch is designed and manufactured to withstand up to 3 bar, such as accidental contact with splashes of water or rain, but it is not designed for wearing while swimming or diving. 10 Water resistance (5 bar)* If "WATER RESISTANT 5 BAR" is inscribed on the case back, your 5 bar WR watch is designed and manufactured to withstand up to 5 bar and is suitable for wearing while swimming, yachting and taking a shower. Water resistance (10 bar/15 bar/20 bar)* If "WATER RESISTANT 10 BAR", 10/15/20 bar WR "WATER RESISTANT 15 BAR" or "WATER RESISTANT 20 BAR" is inscribed on the case back, your watch is designed and manufactured to withstand up to 10 bar/15 bar/20 bar, respectively, and is suitable for wearing while taking a bath or shallow diving, but not for scuba diving. We recommend that you wear a SEIKO Diver's watch while scuba diving. * Before using a water resistant 5, 10, 15 or 20 bar watch in water, make sure the crown is pushed in completely. [. . . ] 11 MAGNETISM The watch will be adversely affected by strong magnetism.
