2. Press and hold the SET button until the display flashes, indicating setup mode.
3. Use the SELECT button to cycle through the settings (e.g., hour, minute, year, month, day).
4. Use the LAP/SPLIT/RESET button to adjust the flashing value.

Maintenance

Solar Charging

To maintain optimal performance, ensure your SEIKO SVAJ103 is regularly exposed to light. A half-day charge in direct sunlight once a month is recommended for regular use. Avoid prolonged storage in dark places to prevent battery depletion.

Water Resistance (5 BAR)

The watch is water resistant up to 5 BAR (50 meters), making it suitable for showering, swimming, and general water activities. However, it is not designed for scuba diving or high-impact water sports. Do not operate buttons while the watch is submerged in water.

Cleaning

Wipe the watch with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
