FEATURES
SEIKO KINETIC Cal. 5M85 is an analogue quartz watch equipped with the Kinetic
technology developed by SEIKO. It generates the electric energy to power the
watch, utilizing the movement of your body, and stores it in the rechargeable bat-
tery, which requires no periodical replacement unlike conventional button-type bat-
teries.
The watch is equipped with a 24-hour hand and features an hour-hand in-
dependent adjustment function (for time difference adjustment), offering several
types of 24-hour hand usage. For instance, if you set the 24-hour hand to show
your home time, you can independently set the hour hand to display the time of
the place you are staying at as well as easily check your home time with the 24-
hour hand. Alternatively, you can set the 24-hour hand to display the time in a dif-
ferent time zone.

HOW TO SET THE TIME AND DATE, HOW TO
USE THE TIME DIFFERENCE ADJUSTMENT
FUNCTION
lHow to set the time
• When setting the time, ensure that the watch is working: the second hand is
moving at one-second intervals.
• In a case that the watch is completely stopped due to a shortage of stored elec-
trical energy, recharge the watch until the second hand resumes the normal
one-second interval movement, and then reset the time and calendar. (Refer to
"IF THE SECOND HAND STARTS MOVING AT TWO-SECOND INTERVALS" on
page 28.)
• The 24-hour hand can be used in two ways. Since the time setting procedure
differs according to the usage, please choose the method before setting the
time.
<Method 1> Simply using the 24-hour hand to show
the 24-hour time as an AM/PM indicator.
• This is the standard usage for the
24-hour hand.
<Method 2> Using the 24-hour hand to indicate the time
in a different time zone.
• For instance, by setting the 24-hour hand to
GMT while setting the hour and minute
hands to indicate the time in your area, you
can easily check GMT with the 24-hour hand
at any time.
How to set the 24-hour hand as a regular 24-hour indicator

on the first day after a month that has less than 31 days.
1. Pull out the crown to the first click.
2. Each time the hour hand makes two full rotations by turning the crown, the date is
adjusted one day.
* The date can be adjusted either by advancing it or by setting it back. Choose
whichever requires fewer rotations.
* Turn the crown gently.
* To adjust the date without changing the time, turn the hour hand in two full rota-
tion increments.
Clockwise: the hour hand turns counterclockwise. The date is
set back one day when the hour hand makes two full
rotations counterclockwise.
Counterclockwise: the hour hand turns clockwise. The date ad-
vances one day when the hour hand makes two full
rotations clockwise.

PRECAUTIONS ON USING THE COMPASS
USING 24-HOUR HAND TO INDICATE DIRECTIONS
(ONLY FOR MODELS WITH THE ROTATING
COMPASS bEzEL OR RING)
•Please use the compass in places where the sun is visible or its location is known.
•Before using the compass, it is necessary to set the 24-hour hand to the current time of
your area.
•The compass is so designed to provide only a rough indication of directions, and
should not be used where accuracy is critical.
•If daylight saving time (summer time) is in effect in your area, be sure to set your watch
one hour behind the current time before using the rotating compass.
l
How to use the compass bezel (ring)
1 Set "N (North)" on the rotating compass bezel (ring) to the 12 o’clock marker. The
direction marks on the bezel (ring) are set as follows;
3 o’clock position: E (East)
6 o’clock position: S (South)
9 o’clock position: W (West)
2 While keeping the dial level, point the 24-hour hand in the direction of the sun. The direction
marks indicate the corresponding directions.
[In the Northern Hemisphere]
[In the Southern Hemisphere]
1 Set "S (South)" on the rotating compass bezel (ring) to the 24-hour hand.

IF THE SECOND HAND STARTS MOVING AT
TWO-SECOND INTERVALS
(ENERGY DEPLETION FOREWARNING FUNCTION)
lWhen the second hand starts moving at two-second intervals whether it is
worn or left untouched, the watch may run down within approximately 24
hours.
lIn such a case, swing the watch from side to side to sufficiently charge the re-
chargeable battery (refer to "HOW TO CHARGE AND START THE WATCH" on
page 6), and then reset the time and calendar.
INSTANT-START FUNCTION
lWhen a long time has passed since the watch stopped, you can get it started
quickly with only a few swings.
lThe instant-start function will remain active for approximately 3 years after a
fully-charged watch stops working.
Never install a silver oxide battery for conventional watches in place of the re-
chargeable battery. The battery may burst, become very hot or catch fire.
CAUTION
REMARKS ON THE RECHARGEAbLE bATTERY
lThe electric energy generated while the watch is worn on your wrist is stored
in the rechargeable battery. It is a power source completely different from
conventional batteries for watches and does not require any periodic replace-
ment.
lWhen the rechargeable battery. is fully charged, the watch will keep operating
for approximately 6 months without recharging the rechargeable battery.
lThe duration of charge decreases gradually over time. The extent of decrease,
however, varies depending on the environment and conditions of use.
lThe rechargeable battery is a clean and environmentally friendly power
source.
* When this function is activated, the second hand will start moving at two-second intervals.
Swing the watch from side to side to charge the rechargeable battery by referring to "NUMBER
OF SWINGS AND POWER RESERVE" on page 7.
* After the second hand starts moving at one-second intervals, put the watch on your wrist so that
it will be charged further.
* The watch remains accurate even while the second hand is moving at two-second intervals.

NOTES FOR USING THE WATCH
HOW TO CHARGE AND START THE WATCH
lTo charge the rechargeable battery efficiently, swing the watch from side to side, making an arc of
about 20 cm.
lNo additional benefit is obtained by swinging the watch more quickly or with greater vigor.
lWhen the watch is swung, the oscillating weight in the generating system rotates to drive the
mechanism. As it rotates, it gives out a sound, which is not a malfunction.
lWhen the watch has been left untouched for more than one year after it has completely stopped,
the second hand may not start moving at normal one-second intervals even if the watch is swung the
number of times indicated in "NUMBER OF SWINGS AND POWER RESERVE" on page 7. In this
case, swing the watch further until the second hand starts moving at one-second intervals.
lThe watch is equipped with a system to prevent overcharge. Even if it is further swung after being
fully charged, no malfunction will result.
lThe watch is equipped with an instant-start function, and it may start operating after it is swung sev-
eral times. For details, see "INSTANT-START FUNCTION".
lIt is not necessary to charge the watch fully, as it is charged automatically while it is worn on your
wrist.
lWear the watch daily for at least 10 hours.
lEven when the watch is worn on your arm, it will not be charged if your arm is not in motion.
POWER RESERVE INDICATOR
lThe power reserve indicator provides only a general guideline of the duration within which the watch
keeps operating without needing to be charged.
lYou can immediately press the button again to recheck the power reserve one more time. To do so a
third time, however, wait until the second hand resumes normal movement before pressing the button
again.
lWhen the second hand moves at two-second intervals, the power reserve is very low and the indicator
does not function.
lImmediately after the watch is swung to charge the rechargeable battery, the second hand may not
properly indicate the power reserve. Please check again after 10 to 15 minutes have elapsed.
lPrecaution on see-through case-back models:
If your watch has a glass case back, do not expose the case back to strong light such as direct sunlight
or an incandescent light at close range, as this may temporarily increase the power consumption of the
watch circuit, thus reducing the power reserve in the rechargeable battery. This condition, however,
will be corrected when the case back is turned away from the light.
TIME/CALENDAR SETTING
lTo set the exact time, pull out the crown all the way when the second hand is at the 12 o'clock
position and push it back in to the normal position in accordance with a time signal.
lWhen setting the hour hand, pull out the crown to the first click, turn it to set the hour hand to the
current hour, and then check that AM/PM is correctly set. The watch is designed so that the calendar
changes once in 24 hours.
Turn the hand past the 12 o'clock marker to determine whether the watch is set for the A.M. or
P.M. period. If the calendar changes, the time is set for the A.M. period. If the calendar does not
change, the time is set for the P.M. period. Turn the crown slowly, checking that the hour hand
moves at one-hour intervals.
lWhen setting the minute hand, pull out the crown all the way to turn the minute hand. Advance the
hand 4 to 5 minutes ahead of the desired time and then turn it back to the exact minute.
lWhen setting the time, make sure that the second hand is moving at one-second intervals.
lIt is necessary to adjust the date at the end of February and 30-day months.
lWhen setting the date, pull out the crown to the first click and turn it to rotate the hour hand until the
date changes. The date advances one day by turning the hour hand two full rotations clockwise, while
the date is set back one day by turning the hour hand two full rotations counterclockwise.
