Protective stickers
Be sure to remove any protective stickers that may be on your watch (case
back, band, clasp, etc.). Otherwise, perspiration or moisture may enter the
gaps between the protective stickers and the parts, which may result in a
skin rash and/or corrosion of the metal parts.

We do not recommend attempting to adjust the watch band yourself. If not
adjusted correctly, the band may become detached leading to an injury or
loss of your watch. (Some retailers may supply a band adjustment tool with

For band adjustment, we recommend you consult the retailer where the
watch was purchased or your nearest Authorized Citizen Service Center.
Some repair shops may charge a nominal fee for adjustment if the watch

Tachymeter
Chronograph
minute hand
Tachymeter feature (When provided)

15
English
The tachymeter feature is used to measure traveling speed such as that of an
automobile. In the case of this watch, the average speed can be approximately
determined for a certain distance by measuring how many seconds it takes to
travel 1 kilometer (measuring range: maximum 60 seconds).
To determine the average speed, start the chronograph simultaneously with
the start of measurement. Stop the chronograph at the point 1 kilometer away
from the staring point. An approximation of the average speed over that
distance can be determined by the position of the second hand at that time.
For example, if it takes 45 seconds to travel 1 kilometer, then the average
speed over that distance is 80 kilometers/hour.
