Cal.5J21 is an enhanced model of the KINETIC watches and features the power save and time relay functions to keep the watch operating for up to four years once it is fully charged, even if it is left unused and no charging is done.
POWER SAVE FUNCTION If the watch is left untouched for approximately 3 days, the hands will stop moving to minimize the electrical energy consumed. More specifically, the power save function is activated if the generating system of the watch remains inactive and no charging is done for approximately 72 hours. Even if the watch is not worn for more than 3 days, the power save function will not be activated if the watch senses enough activity to start the generating system working during the 3 days.

Note: If your watch has a screw lock type crown, turn the crown counterclockwise to unscrew it, and then, pull it out. After using the crown, push it back in to the normal position, and then, turn it clockwise to screw it in completely. Caution: Do not pull out the crown to the second click while the power save function is in operation.
TIME RELAY FUNCTION While the power save function is working, the built-in IC continues to compute the time though the hands have stopped. As a certain amount of electricity is generated by swinging the watch, the time relay function is activated, and the hands are adjusted automatically to the time retained inside the watch.

Remarks on using the time relay function 1. When using the watch for the first time after it is purchased, it is necessary to adjust the time as the watch has been adjusted to the time of the area where SEIKO’s factory is located.

2. If the power save function has been in operation for several months before the time relay function is activated, the time indicated by the hands may include a certain amount of time loss or gain that has accumulated during those months. Adjust the hands as required.
HOW TO SET THE TIME 1. Pull out the crown to the second click when the second hand is at the 12 o’clock position. 2. Turn the hands to set the desired time. 3. Push back the crown completely in accordance with a time signal.
ENERGY DEPLETION FOREWARNING FUNCTION The watch has been charged fully at the factory, and the power save function will keep the built-in IC computing the time for up to four years. Normally, therefore, it is not necessary to charge the watch manually by swinging it. If you should find the second hand moving at two-second intervals, however, charge the watch following the procedure in “...
6. Even if the watch is worn on your arm, it will not be charged while your arm is not in motion. POWER RESERVE IN YOUR SEIKO KINETIC WATCH The electric energy generated while the watch is worn on your wrist is stored in the KINETIC E.S.U.
Wearing the watch continuously for 12 hours will accumulate approximately one and a half additional days of power reserve. If you wear the watch every day for 12 hours over a period of a week, approximately 10 days of power reserve will be secured in the KINETIC E.S.U., which will keep the watch operating for approximately 2 months when the hands are stopped by the power save function.
CAUTION Never install a silver oxide battery for conventional watches in place of the KINETIC E.S.U. The battery may burst, become very hot or catch fire. ROTATING BEZEL (for models with rotating bezel) The rotating bezel can show up to 60 minutes of elapsed time. 1.
