3. Configuració

3.1 Enrotllament inicial

Your Seiko 5 Sports watch is powered by an automatic mechanical movement. It does not require a battery. When the watch is not worn, it relies on its power reserve. If the watch has stopped or its power reserve is low, follow these steps:

1. Desenrosqueu la corona: If your crown is a screw-down type, turn it counter-clockwise until it springs out to position 1. (Note: The SRPD69 typically has a push-pull crown, so this step may not apply. If it's a push-pull, simply pull it out.)
2. Enrotllament manual: In position 1 (normal position, or unscrewed position if screw-down), turn the crown clockwise approximately 30-40 times. This will manually wind the mainspring and build up a sufficient power reserve to start the watch.
3. Enrotllament automàtic: Once the watch starts ticking, wearing it on your wrist will automatically wind the mainspring through your arm's motion.

3.2 Configuració de l'hora i la data

Per configurar l'hora i la data, seguiu aquests passos:

1. Traieu la corona: Gently pull the crown out to position 2 (first click) for date/day setting, or position 3 (second click) for time setting.
2. Configuració de la data i el dia:
   • In position 2, turn the crown clockwise to set the date.
   • Turn the crown counter-clockwise to set the day of the week.
   • Important: Avoid setting the date and day between 9:00 PM and 4:00 AM, as this can damage the movement. If you need to set the date/day during this period, first advance the time past 4:00 AM, then set the date/day, and finally set the correct time.
3. Configuració de l'hora:
   • In position 3, turn the crown to move the hands. Advance the minute hand past the current time by a few minutes, then turn it back to the exact time.
   • Per garantir una configuració de l'hora precisa, sincronitzeu-ho amb una font horària fiable.
4. Premeu la corona: Once set, push the crown back into position 0 (normal position). If it's a screw-down crown, screw it back in tightly to maintain water resistance.

3.3 Ajust del braçalet

The stainless steel mesh bracelet may require adjustment for a comfortable fit. It is recommended to have this adjustment performed by a qualified jeweler or watch technician to prevent damage to the bracelet or clasp mechanism.

Wear the watch snugly on your wrist, ensuring it is not too tight or too loose. This allows the automatic winding mechanism to function effectively and provides comfort.

4.2 Using the Unidirectional Rotating Bezel

The SRPD69 features a unidirectional rotating bezel. This bezel can be used for timing events up to 60 minutes. To use it:

1. Rotate the bezel counter-clockwise until the zero mark aligns with the minute hand.
2. The minute hand will then indicate the elapsed time on the bezel scale.

The unidirectional design prevents accidental rotation in the wrong direction, which could lead to an overestimation of elapsed time.

5. Manteniment

5.1 Neteja del rellotge

Regular cleaning helps maintain the appearance and hygiene of your watch:

• Netegeu la caixa i el cristall amb un drap suau i sec.
• For the stainless steel mesh bracelet, use a soft brush and mild soapy water to remove dirt and grime. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry completely.
• Ensure the crown is pushed in (and screwed down if applicable) before cleaning with water.

5.2 Resistència a l'aigua

Your watch is water resistant to 10 bar (100 meters). This means it is suitable for swimming and snorkeling, but not for scuba diving. To maintain water resistance:

• Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in (and screwed down if applicable) before exposing the watch to water.
• No feu funcionar la corona ni els polsadors mentre el rellotge estigui mullat o submergit.
• Eviteu exposar el rellotge a aigua calenta, vapor o canvis sobtats de temperatura, ja que això pot comprometre els segells.
• Have the water resistance seals checked periodically, especially after any impact or battery replacement (though this watch is automatic, seals can still degrade).

5.3 Manteniment regular

Like any precision mechanical instrument, your watch requires periodic servicing to ensure optimal performance. It is recommended to have your watch inspected and serviced by an authorized Seiko service center every 3 to 5 years.

5.4 Emmagatzematge

When not wearing your watch for extended periods, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and strong magnetic fields. If stored for a long time, the watch will stop. Simply re-wind it manually and set the time before wearing.
