Charging the Watch

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.

conditions, the watch may become hot
to the touch when exposed to light for
charging. Take care to avoid burn
injury after charging. Also, avoid
charging the watch under high-
temperature conditions like the ones
