When you are not wearing the watch, put it in a location where it is exposed to bright light.

While you are wearing the watch, make sure that its face (solar panel) is not blocked from the light by the sleeve of your clothing. Power generation efficiency is reduced even when the face of the watch is blocked only partially.

You can determine the watch’s current charge level by checking the position of the battery indicator hand.

You can determine if the charge level is low by checking the hand movement. Functions become disabled as battery power goes low.

The second hand jumps at two-second intervals.

The table below shows guidelines for approximate charging times.
