BATTERY CHANGE

This watch is powered by two batteries, one for the analogue movement and the other for the digital movement.

Analogue quartz movement: The miniature battery SEIKO SR626SW, Maxell SR626SW or SONY SR626SW.

Digital quartz movement: The miniature battery SEIKO CR2025, Maxell CR2025 or SONY CR2025 which powers your watch should last approximately 2 years each. However, because it is inserted at the factory, the actual life of the battery once in your possession may be less than 2 years.

Be sure to replace the batteries to prevent any possible malfunction as soon as they run down. To replace the batteries, we recommend taking the watch to a local watch repair shop.

Note: If the alarm is used for more than 60 seconds a day, the battery life may be less than the specified period.

After the batteries are replaced with new ones, set the time, calendar and alarm.
