Pull out the crown to the first click.
The second hand points to the current city
code.
2.
Push the crown back in to its normal
position.
For about one second, the second hand
will indicate the current charge level.
Failure to expose the watch to light for
long periods will cause the charge to be
reduced.

battery charge may go low even if a
relatively high charge is indicated. If this
happens, expose the watch to light as
soon as possible to charge the battery.
