Setup

1. Initial Charging

Your Eco-Drive watch is powered by light. Upon receiving your watch, it may be in a low charge state. To ensure optimal performance, expose the watch dial to bright light (natural sunlight is ideal) for several hours. Avoid extreme heat. A full charge can take up to several days under normal indoor lighting.

2. Setting Time and Date

Refer to the detailed instructions provided in the full user manual for precise setting procedures for the time, perpetual calendar, dual time, and alarm functions. The crown and pushers on the side of the watch are used for these adjustments.
