For details, please read the
“8X82 (GPS Solar) Complete User Guide”
(http://www.seikowatches.com/support/ib/index.html).
Please carefully read the
instructions in this Complete User
Guide before using the watch.
Length adjustment service for metallic bands is
available at the retailer from whom the watch was
purchased. If you cannot have your watch repaired
by the retailer from whom the watch was purchased
because you received the watch as a gift, or you moved
to a distant place, please contact SEIKO WORLDWIDE
SERVICE NETWORK.The service may also be available
on a chargeable basis at other retailers, however, some
retailers may not perform the service.
If your watch has a protective film for preventing
scratches, make sure to peel it off before using the
watch. If the watch is used with the film on it, dirt, sweat,
dust, or moisture may be attached under the film and
may cause corrosion.

GPS signal reception
Features
This is a GPS* solar watch.
Standard Charging Time
This watch can be set to the precise
local time by just one button
operation

anywhere in the world.
 DST (Daylight Saving Time) can be set manually.
This watch quickly adjusts the time by
receiving GPS signals
from GPS satellites.
This watch responds to
a total of 40 time zones
around the world.
When the region or time
zone where the watch is
used is changed, please
carry out operation of
“time zone adjustment.”

GPS signal reception consumes a lot of energy. It is necessary to charge the watch by exposing it to light so
that the indicator hand points to the “middle” or “full” position. (If the charging status is displayed as “low,”
the reception will not start even with manual GPS signal reception.)
The figures of “Time required for charging the watch to start moving at one- second intervals” are estimations of time required to charge the
stopped watch by exposing it to light until it moves at steady one-second intervals. Even if the watch is partially charged for a shorter period, the
watch will resume one-second- interval movement. However, it may shortly return to two-second-interval movement. Use the charging time in
this column as a rough guide for sufficient charging time.
The required charging time slightly varies depending on the design and the dial color of the watch.

When the energy
stored in the watch
runs out completely,
it takes time to fully
charge the watch,
so please keep in
mind to charge the
watch regularly.
Solar charging Function
This watch operates by solar charging.
Expose the dial to light to charge the watch. Once
fully charged, the watch runs for approximately
6 months.
Automatic time adjustment function
This watch automatically adjusts the time in
accordance with action patterns during use.
When the watch has sensed suf ficient brightness under
an open sky, it automatically receives GPS signals
from GPS satellites. This function enables the watch to
automatically adjust
the time precisely
even while you are
using the watch.
This watch is
unable to receive
GPS signals
when the energy
stored in the
watch is low.
GPS is an abbreviation for Global Positioning System.

Time zone

Time zone
Based on Coordinated UniversalTime (UTC), the
standard time commonly used is adopted by
countries and regions around the world.The standard
time is determined by each country or region, and the
region where the same standard time is adopted is
referred to as the time zone, and presently, the time
zone is divided into 40 zones as of January 2014.
Further, DST (Daylight SavingTime) is individually
adopted in countries and regions.
DST (Daylight Saving Time)
Depending on the area, DST (Daylight Saving Time) is
individually set.
Daylight SavingTime, or summer time, is a system
to lengthen daylight time by advancing 1 hour when
daylight time is longer during summer. Daylight
saving time has been adopted in about 80 countries,
mainly in Europe and North America.The adoption
and duration of daylight saving time varies depending
on the country.
Daylight SavingTime is subject to change due to circumstances
of the country or region.
Coordinated Universal Time
(UTC)
UTC is the universal standard time coordinated
through an international agreement. UTC is the
primary time standard for recording time around the
world. The time obtained by adding a leap second to
the “International Atomic Time (TAI)” is determined
based on the atomic clock around the world. It is
coordinated in order to compensate for deviations
from universal time (UT) which is astronomically
determined by the UTC.

Please refer to the second hand positions below to set
the time zone or to check the time zone setting.
DST (Daylight SavingTime) is used in time zones with a mark.
In the Lord Howe Island time zone in Australia with a mark, the time is
advanced by 30 minutes while Daylight SavingTime (SummerTime) is in effect.
This watch corresponds to DST in the Lord Howe Island time zone.
The time zone of each region and DST (Daylight SavingTime) are as of
January 2014.

How to adjust the time zone
Time zone adjustment
Precautions on time zone adjustment
If the time zone is adjusted near a time zone boundary, the time of the adjacent time zone may be displayed.
In some areas the boundaries observed by the watch may not exactly correlate to the actual time zone markers on the land.
This does not indicate a malfunction. In this case, set the time zone in the manual time zone setting mode.
When the time zone is adjusted while traveling on land, avoid time zone boundaries to carry out time zone adjustment in the
representative cities in the time zone whenever possible. In addition, when the watch is used near time zone boundaries,
make sure to check the time zone setting, and manually set the time zone as necessary.
When the stopwatch is operating, the reception function will not be activated.
