This watch is designed so that the following adjustments are made with the crown
at the second click position:
1) time setting
2) stopwatch hand position adjustment
Once the crown is pulled out to the second click, be sure to make both the above
adjustments 1) and 2) at the same time.
Turn the crown clockwise while pressing it to the
case until it is screwed all the way in and locked.
*
When screwing the crown in, ensure that the crown is correctly aligned and turn it
gently. If it is too hard to turn, unscrew it first, and then rewind it. Do not screw it
in by force as it may damage the thread of the screw or the case.
The date adjustment is done with the crown at first click position.

HOW TO USE THE STOPWATCH
●
●
The stopwatch features a 40-minute dial with a retrograde minute hand.
*
The display illustrated at the left should be read as
“19,” not "29." When the 1/100-second hand is
moving toward larger numbers, the 1/10 second
hand comes close to the next marker, which may
cause you to wrongly read the hands as "29."

The stopwatch can consecutively measure up to 120 minutes in 1/100-second
increments. When the measurement reaches 120 minutes, the stopwatch auto-
matically stops counting.

After 3 minutes of timing from a start, the STOPWATCH 1/100-second and 1/10-
second hands remain pointing to the “0” position until the watch is stopped or
split time measurement is made, at such a time, they move to display the
measured time. They start to move for a maximum of three minutes after the
watch is restarted or the split time display is released.
<Remarks on the STOPWATCH minute hand movement>
•
When the minute counting reaches 40 minutes, the STOPWATCH minute hand
immediately returns and continues counting from 41 minutes onward. The minute
counting is repeated in the same manner for another rotation, up to 120 minutes,
at that time the stopwatch automatically stops.
<How to read the stopwatch hands>
The time measured is indicated by the four stopwatch hands below.

TACHYMETER
(for models with tachymeter scale on the dial)
•
The demonstration function allows you to view the movement of the four
STOPWATCH hands.
To measure the hourly average speed of a vehicle
•
Each of the four STOPWATCH hands demonstrates high-speed movements and
when the demonstration is finished, they return to the original position.
Ex. 1
Use the stopwatch to determine
how many seconds it takes to go
1 km or 1 mile.

After approximately 3 seconds, the demonstration finishes, and the stopwatch is

TELEMETER
(for models with telemeter scale on the dial)
To measure the hourly rate of operation
Ex. 1
●
●
The telemeter can provide a rough indication of the distance to the source of light
and sound.
The telemeter indicates the distance from your location to an object that emits
both light and sound. For example, it can indicate the distance to the place where
lightning struck by measuring the time elapsed after you see a flash of lightning
until you hear the sound.
1
Use the stopwatch to measure
the time required to complete 1
job.
STOPWATCH
second hand:
20 seconds
2
Tachymeter scale indicated by
STOPWATCH second hand gives
the average number of jobs ac-
complished per hour.
●
●
A flash of lightning reaches you almost immediately while the sound travels to
you at a speed of 0.33 km/second. The distance to the source of the light and
sound can be calculated on the basis of this difference.
The telemeter scale is so graduated that the sound travels at a speed of 1 km in
3 seconds.*
Tachymeter scale:
“180”
*
Under the condition of temperature of 20 ºC (68 ºF).
“180” (tachymeter scale figure) x 1 job
= 180 jobs/hour
Ex. 2: If 15 jobs are completed in 20 seconds:
CAUTION
“180” (tachymeter scale figure) x 15 jobs = 2700 jobs/hour
The telemeter provides only a rough indication of the distance to the place where
lightning struck, and therefore, the indication cannot be used as the guideline to avoid
the danger of lightning. It should also be noted that the speed of the sound differs
depending on the temperature of the atmosphere where it travels.

HOW TO USE THE TELEMETER
BATTERY CHANGE
Before beginning, check that the stopwatch has been reset.
The miniature battery which powers your watch should last approxi-
3
mately 3 years. However, because the battery is inserted at the factory
to check the function and performance of the watch, its actual life once
in your possession may be less than the specified period. When the
battery expires, be sure to replace it as soon as possible to prevent any
malfunction. For battery replacement, we recommend that you con-
tact an AUTHORIZED SEIKO DEALER and request SEIKO SR927W
battery.
Years
START
(Flash of light)
1
Press button A to start the
stopwatch as soon as you see
the light.
*
If the stopwatch is used for more than 2 hours a day, the battery life
may be less than the specified period.
STOP

3
When you hear the sound,
press button A to stop the stop-
watch.
*
After the battery is replaced with a new one, set the time/calendar
and adjust the stopwatch hand position.
(Crash of thunder)
● Battery life indicator
Read the telemeter scale that
the stopwatch second hand
points to.
When the battery nears its end, the small second hand moves at two-second
intervals instead of normal one-second intervals. In that case, have the battery
replaced with a new one as soon as possible.
Approx. 3 km
*
The watch remains accurate while the small second hand is moving at two-second
intervals.
Please note that the stopwatch second hand moves in 1-second increments and does
not always point exactly to the graduations of the telemeter scale. The telemeter scale
can be used only when the measured time is less than 60 seconds.

NECESSARY PROCEDURE AFTER BATTERY
CHANGE
After the battery is replaced with a new one, or when an abnormal display appears,
follow the procedures below to reset the built-in IC. The watch will resume its normal
operation.
WARNING
● Do not remove the battery from the watch.
● If it is necessary to take out the battery, keep it out of the reach
of children. If a child swallows it, consult a doctor immediately.
<HOW TO RESET THE IC>
1. Pull out the crown to the second click.
2. Press Button A and B at the same time.
CAUTION
3. Push the crown back in to the normal position and check if the hands move as
normal.
● Never short-circuit, heat or otherwise tamper with the battery,
and never expose it to fire. The battery may burst, become very
hot or catch fire.
A
● The battery is not rechargeable. Never attempt to recharge it,
as this may cause battery leakage or damage to the battery.

Resetting the IC will initialize the watch. Before starting to use the watch, it will be
necessary to set the time and adjust the STOPWATCH hands to the “0” position.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Solutions
Possible causes
Trouble
Have the battery replaced with a new one immediately by the retailer from whom the watch was
purchased.
The battery has run down.
The watch stops operating.
The small second hand moves at two-
second intervals.
The battery nears its end.
Return the watch to a normal temperature so that it works accurately as usual, and then reset the

under a normal temperature range between 5 ºC and 35 ºC.
The watch temporarily gains or loses
time.
The watch has been left or worn in extremely
high or low temperatures.

strong magnetic field.
Correct this condition by moving and keeping the watch away from the magnetic source. If this
action does not correct the condition, contact the retailer from whom the watch was purchased.
Reset the time. If the watch does not return to its normal accuracy after resetting the time,
contact the retailer from whom the watch was purchased.
You drop the watch, hit it against a hard surface,
or wear it while playing active sports. The watch
is exposed to strong vibrations.
Reset the stopwatch hands to the “0” position. Follow the procedure in "TIME AND CALENDAR
SETTING AND STOPWATCH HAND POSITION ADJUSTMENT."
The STOPWATCH hands do not return to
the “0” position when the stopwatch is reset.
The watch has been affected by magnetism or
exposed to strong shocks or vibrations.
Moisture has entered the watch because the
gasket has deteriorated.
Contact the retailer from whom the watch was purchased.
The inner surface of the glass is clouded.
The date changes at 12 o’clock noon.
AM/PM is not properly set.
