This time, we will show you what to do if the time does not match with the radio-controlled clock equipped with the caliber 1B25 or 1B35 used by Seiko's Lucia and Dolce & Exceline.
Why are the times and dates incorrect?
The watch on the left is from Seiko, which we will introduce to you this time.Rukia's Caliber 1B25It will be a model. The clock on the right is my personal Citizen radio-controlled clock.
The caliber number is written on the case back, so please check it once.
You can see that the time is not synchronized with the clock on the right.
Even with radio-controlled clocks that automatically adjust the time and date, the time and date may be incorrect.
Radio-controlled clocks have the advantage of automatically setting the correct time, but the date and time can sometimes be incorrect due to magnetic interference or shock.
If this happens, even if you receive radio waves, the time will not be accurate.
We also often receive requests for repairs because they think their watches are broken.
But don't worry. Although the possibility of failure is not zero, in most cases,Improvements can often be seen with settings.It is.
There are instructions on how to set it up in the manual, but even after looking at it, it's hard to understand what to do.😭
If the time lags, the first thing to do is charge it.
Please charge the battery first.If possible, leave it in sunlight for a little longer, about 2 days.
The reason why you need to charge it is because it consumes a lot of power to configure settings.
