How does a Seiko Perpetual Kinetic watch set the correct time?

Question

I understand the working of the kinetic function but wonder about the current time. Does it have a relay with some time center?

Answer 1

The Seiko watch is set at the factory and has a perpetual calendar up through February 28, 2100.

The caliber also incorporates SEIKO's unique Kinetic Auto-Relay technology. No battery change is ever required, and yet Kinetic Perpetual offers quartz accuracy and reliability. With Auto-Relay, the watch will, when not worn, operate normally for 6 months on a full charge, after which it goes into "sleep" mode for up to four years. The accuracy remains and the calendar continues to show the correct date, month and year, but the hands stop, conserving energy, until, once the watch is put on again, the hands automatically reset to the correct time.

This watch does not use the "atomic clock" feature like many home clocks and watches that listens to the time signals beamed from WWVB in Fort Collins, CO.

Answer 3

In the US most automatic watches are set to the NIST broadcast, in Colorado, which is synchronized with the NIST atomic clock which is one of the clocks responsible for keeping time world wide.

Answer 4

The second hand tells u the minutes, so it;ll move after every minute or so. Look for the third hand as that will be the second hand.Confused..................
