5. Operating the Chronograph Function

Your BENYAR BY-5188 watch is equipped with a fully functional chronograph (stopwatch) feature. All small dials are operational.

5.1 Chronograph Buttons

• Button A (Top Right): Start/Stop the chronograph.
• Button B (Bottom Right): Reset the chronograph to zero.

5.2 Using the Chronograph

1. Press Button A to start the chronograph. The small second hand (usually at 6 o'clock or 9 o'clock) will begin to move, along with the minute and hour counter subdials.
2. Press Button A again to stop the chronograph and read the elapsed time.
3. Press Button B to reset all chronograph hands back to their zero positions.

5.3 Water Resistance

The watch is 3ATM/3BAR/30M water resistant. This means it is suitable for daily use, such as splashes, rain, or brief immersion in water. It is not recommended for swimming, diving, or showering with hot water, as steam and pressure changes can compromise the seals.

6. Care and Maintenance

Proper care will help maintain the appearance and functionality of your BENYAR watch:

• Cleaning: Wipe the watch case and strap regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. For the leather strap, avoid excessive moisture.
• Water Exposure: While water-resistant, avoid prolonged exposure to water. Always ensure the crown is pushed in completely before any contact with water.
• Temperature: Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures (hot or cold) or sudden temperature changes, as this can affect the movement and seals.
• Chemicals: Keep the watch away from chemicals, solvents, and detergents, which can damage the case, strap, or seals.
• Impact: Protect your watch from strong impacts or shocks.
• Storage: When not in use, store the watch in its original box or a soft pouch to prevent scratches.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your watch, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Watch Not Running:
  • Check if the crown is pushed in completely.
  • The battery may be depleted. Contact a professional watch repair service for battery replacement.
• Incorrect Time/Date:
  • Refer to Section 4.1 and 4.2 to re-set the time and date.
• Chronograph Hands Not Resetting to Zero:
  • Press Button B firmly to reset. If they still do not reset, the chronograph may need calibration by a professional.
• Condensation Inside the Watch:
  • This indicates a breach in the water resistance. Avoid further water exposure and seek professional service immediately to prevent damage to the movement.

8. User Tips

• Luminous Hands: For optimal glow, expose the watch dial to bright light (natural or artificial) for a few minutes before entering a dark environment.
• Leather Strap Care: To prolong the life of your genuine leather strap, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, excessive moisture, and harsh chemicals. Allow it to air dry naturally if it gets wet.
• Chronograph Accuracy: For precise timing, ensure the chronograph hands are reset to zero before starting a new measurement.
