POWER SAVE FUNCTION
If the watch is left untouched for approximately 3 days (72 hours), the hands will stop
moving to minimize the electrical energy consumed.
Though the hands stop while the power save function is in operation, the built-in IC
continues to compute the correct time.
More specifically, the watch measures the time during which the generating system
remains inactive and no charging is done. The power save function is activated when such
time period extends to approximately 72 hours without a break. If the watch senses
movement of the oscillating weight before the completion of 72 hours, the measurement
of the inactive time is stopped and reset to “0”.
If the watch is kept in a situation where movement repeatedly causes the hands to keep
moving and the power save function is prevented from being activated without additional
charge, the energy will be consumed in approximately 6 months after the watch is fully
charged.
FEATURES
SEIKO KINETIC AUTO RELAY Cal. 5J22/5J32 is an analogue quartz watch equipped with an
Automatic Generating System developed by SEIKO. It generates the electric energy to power
the watch, utilizing the movement of the arm, and stores it in the KINETIC ELECTRICITY
STORAGE UNIT (KINETIC E.S.U.), which requires no periodical replacement unlike conventional
button-type batteries.
Cal. 5J22/5J32 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.
If the watch is left unused for 3 days, the
hands stop automatically to conserve the
stored electric energy.
Power save function
Though the hands stop, the built-
in IC continues to keep the time.
To use the watch again, swinging
it several times will awaken it.
The hands will move quickly to
indicate the current time, and
resume normal operation.
