Initial Setup
1. Charging the Watch
Your Seiko SUT116 watch is powered by light. Before initial use, or if the watch has stopped, expose it to bright light for several hours to ensure it is fully charged. Direct sunlight or strong artificial light sources are effective. A full charge provides approximately a 6-month power reserve.
2. Setting the Time and Date
- Pull out the crown: Gently pull the crown (the knob on the side of the watch) out to the second click position. The second hand will stop.
- Set the time: Turn the crown to advance the hands clockwise until the correct time is displayed. Ensure to distinguish between AM and PM when setting the date. The date changes around midnight.
- Set the date and day: Push the crown in one click to the first click position. Turn the crown clockwise to set the date and counter-clockwise to set the day. Adjust until the correct date and day are shown.
- Push in the crown: Once the time, date, and day are set, push the crown back into its normal position. The second hand will resume movement.
3. Adjusting the Bracelet
The watch bracelet may need adjustment for a comfortable fit. It is recommended to have a qualified jeweler perform any link removal or addition to prevent damage to the watch or bracelet.
Operation
Solar Power Functionality
The Seiko SUT116 utilizes a solar cell located under the dial to convert light into electrical energy. This energy is stored in a rechargeable battery, powering the watch movement. Continuous exposure to light ensures optimal performance and prevents the watch from stopping.
Water Resistance
This watch is water resistant to 30 meters (99 feet). This means it is suitable for everyday use and can withstand splashes or brief immersion in water. It is not suitable for showering, swimming, diving, or any water sports where it may be subjected to high-pressure water or prolonged submersion.
Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the watch case and bracelet regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt and moisture. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Charging: To maintain optimal charge, ensure the watch is regularly exposed to light. If stored in darkness for extended periods, it may lose charge and stop.
- Temperature: Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures (above 60°C / 140°F or below 0°C / 32°F) or sudden temperature changes, as this can affect its performance and lifespan.
- Chemicals: Keep the watch away from solvents, detergents, perfumes, and cosmetics, as these can damage the case, bracelet, or gaskets.
Troubleshooting
