This watch uses a secondary battery to store electrical energy. When the watch is

fully charged, it will maintain its accuracy for about 6 months.

Always store the watch in a bright location for best results.

jPlacing the watch near a window where its face can

receive sunlight or near another source of light when

you are not wearing it will ensure that the watch is

regularly charged, allowing it to maintain its accuracy.

jWearing clothes with long sleeves makes it difficult for the watch to get the

necessary light, resulting in insufficient charging.

We recommended that you charge the watch for a long time in direct sunlight

once a month.

[NOTE]

Do not charge on surfaces that can easily

become hot, such as a car dashboard.
