Important Notes
If your watch has been stored for an extended period and appears inactive, it may have entered sleep mode. To reactivate, place the watch under direct sunlight or bright artificial light for 4 to 6 hours. To maintain long-term performance, avoid storing the watch in dark locations such as drawers or cabinets for prolonged periods. Regular light exposure of 2–3 hours per week is recommended to sustain optimal capacitor health. During battery replacement, take care not to dislodge the battery contact located on the back of the capacitor, as this can disrupt connectivity and affect performance.
