FAQs

Q: How do I adjust the 24-hour sub-dial?

Ans: When you set the time, the 24-hour sub-dial automatically adjusts and is synchronised with the main hour hand. It cannot be adjusted on its own.

Q: What type of battery does the FS10/FS11/FS13 use?

Ans: The SR920SW (or 371) silver oxide battery that these movements normally use has an expected lifespan of two to three years, depending on how often the chronograph is used.

Q: Does the chronograph count hours?

Ans: No, the chronograph usually records these movements for up to 60 minutes. An hour counter for longer timing is not included.

Q: How accurate is the Miyota FS series movement?

Ans: With an average accuracy of ±20 seconds per month at room temperature, these quartz movements are incredibly dependable.

Q: Can I use the chronograph continuously without harming the movement?

Ans: Although leaving the chronograph running is safe, doing so could reduce battery life. When not in use, stop and reset the chronograph for maximum power efficiency.

Q: Are these movements suitable for sports watches or dress watches?

Ans: Indeed. The small profile and adaptable dial design of the FS10, FS11, and FS13 make them popular in both sport-inspired timepieces and fashion chronographs.

Q: Is the Miyota FS movement shock-resistant or water-resistant?

Ans: The architecture of the watch case determines whether the movement is water-resistant or not. For daily usage, the movement is made with a respectable amount of shock resistance.
