The Kinetic Perpetual watch is part of the Kinetic series of watches manufactured by Seiko. It is named "Perpetual" because it has a mechanical perpetual calendar that will be correct until February of 2100. The seiko kinetic watches convert the kinetic movement of the user into electrical energy that powers the watch and charges the battery. The Kinetic Perpetual has a "Power Save" or "Sleep" mode that keeps the time and date correct for up to four years when the watch isn't worn.
Swing the watch 4 to 5 times to activate the "Time Relay Function." The watch hands will reset to the time stored in the watch at the factory.
Swing the watch 4 to 6 times with a steady rhythm of twice per second to wake the watch from "Power Save Mode." If the second hand moves at two-second intervals, swing the watch approximately 200 times to generate the power to run the watch for a day.
