Module No. 3554

Leap Second Reception

GPS signal reception each year on June 1 or later and on December 1 or later also receives leap second information.

Note

It can take as long as 15 minutes to complete the leap second information receive operation.

The leap second information receive operation is repeated until information receipt is complete.

Once the leap second information receive operation is complete, the watch will not make any attempt to receive it again until the following June 1 or December 1.

When connecting with a phone to adjust the watch date and time settings, leap seconds will also be received along with the time information. If this happens, leap seconds may not be received when receiving a GPS signal.

The first GPS signal receive operation after the watch’s current time and/or date setting has been changed manually will include receipt of leap second information.
