The position of the hands is misaligned due to external factors.
The preliminary position of the hands is misaligned.
Preliminary position
-
<Hour/minute hand misalignment> The automatic hand position adjustment function is activated to automatically adjust the positions. Please use the watch as it is. The automatic hand position alignment function is activated once a minute for the seconds hand, once an hour for the minute hand, and once every 12 hours for the hour hand.
<Date misalignment> Since the preliminary position is not automatically adjusted, manually adjust the position. -
When misalignment of a hand is not adjusted, refer to the When the sub-dial, day hand, date, indicator hand or hour/minute/seconds hand position is misaligned to carry out operation.

When energy is insufficient, the automatic time adjustment may operate only once every 3 days.
The automatic time adjustment function is not activated every day
The energy stored in the watch is insufficient.
Conditions to activate the automatic time adjustment function are not prepared.
Sufficient energy is necessary to activate the automatic time adjustment function every day. Keep in mind to frequently expose your watch light to charge its battery. The automatic time adjustment is automatically activated by exposure to bright light when you are in a place that easily receives GPS signals.
Automatic reception is not activated.
The watch is not in an environment where GPS signals can be received at the moment when the watch is exposed to light.
While the watch has a function that automatically starts receiving when exposed to light, it also has a function that activates “automatic time adjustment” at the time that “manual time adjustment” was last successful, even in environments that are not exposed to light. Normally, we recommend that, to succeed with manual time adjustment, do it at a specific time, at which you think you will be in an environment that can receive GPS signals. Automatic time adjustment function judges the situation. Thereby the automatic time adjustment function gets activated even in the case of not been able to receive light.
