Remarks on the reserve power of the KINETIC electricity storage unit:
Even while the second hand is stopped by pulling out the crown, current continues being consumed
by the built-in IC. Therefore, pulling out the crown will not save the energy stored in the KINETIC
electricity storage unit.
Precaution on see-through case-back models:
If your watch has a glass case back, do not expose the case back to strong light such as direct
sunlight or an incandescent light at close range, as this may temporarily increase the power
consumption of the watch circuit, thus reducing the power reserve in the KINETIC electricity storage
unit. This condition, however, will be corrected when the case back is turned away from the light.
