Seiko SSE003J1 Astron Wristwatch

Our watch of the week is the Seiko SSE003J1 Astron. It features a stylish silver-coloured hard-coated titanium link bracelet and a black dial with three chronograph subdials. The movement is solar-powered. This watch adjusts to your current time zone, even when you are on the move. The Seiko Astron automatically connects to the GPS network.

Setting the time zone

1. You should be outdoors, where your watch has a clear view of the sky and the GPS networks.
2. Press and hold pusher D for 6 seconds. Release it as soon as the second hand has moved to the 30-second position. Reception should now take a maximum of 2 minutes.
3. If the second hand points to "Y" or "N", reception is complete. This will be displayed for 5 seconds. After that, the hour and minute hands will move, and the local time and date will return to the currently set time zone.

Activating flight mode

1. Press and hold pusher C for 3 seconds.
2. The multi-indicator hand points to the small airplane. When flight mode is activated, the power reserve status is not displayed.

Resetting flight mode

1. Repeat step 1.

Setting daylight saving time

1. Pull the crown out to the first position. The multi-indicator hand moves to display the current daylight saving time (DST) setting. The stopwatch second hand now shows the current time zone.
2. Press and hold pusher D for 3 seconds within 5 seconds after step 1. The indicator hand moves to DST (ON), and the hour and minute hands move forward one hour.
3. Now push the crown back in. The stopwatch second hand will return to the 12 o'clock position.
