Guide to Charging Time
Most users find that their watch receives more than enough light to keep it charged
through their normal daily routine.
During normal operation, the charge necessary for the watch to operate for one day can
be obtained in approximately 10 minutes per day when charged outdoors in direct
sunlight, and in 4 hours per day when charged by indoor illumination.
If your watch is not exposed to light regularly and to prevent the watch from stopping
due to an insufficient charge, we recommend that you charge the watch for 5 to 6 hours
under direct sunlight once a month.
