1. Product Overview
The SKMEI 1509 is a stylish quartz wristwatch designed for both men and women, featuring a small dial, date calendar, and water resistance. This manual provides instructions for its proper use and care.
2. Setup
2.1 Wearing the Watch
Place the watch on your wrist and adjust the PU strap to a comfortable fit. Secure the strap using the stainless steel buckle.
2.2 Setting Time and Date
- Pull out the crown (the small knob on the side of the watch case) to the first or second click position.
- To set the date: If your watch has a date function, pull the crown out to the first click. Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise (depending on the movement) until the correct date is displayed.
- To set the time: Pull the crown out to the second click. Turn the crown to move the hour and minute hands to the desired time. Push the crown back in completely to start the watch.
Note: For precise time setting, it is recommended to set the time a few minutes ahead and then push the crown back in when a time signal (e.g., from a radio or phone) reaches the desired time. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this is when the date change mechanism is engaged and could be damaged. If you encounter difficulties, please contact customer service.
3. Operating the Watch
Your SKMEI 1509 watch is a quartz movement timepiece, offering accurate timekeeping and a date display function.
3.1 Water Resistance
The watch is rated for 30 meters (3ATM) water resistance. This means it is suitable for daily use, such as washing hands and exposure to rain. It is generally considered safe for short periods of swimming in shallow water.
Important Water Resistance Precautions:
- DO NOT use the watch with hot water or warm water for bathing and showering. Water vapor can enter the watch and cause damage.
- DO NOT operate the crown or push buttons while the watch is wet or submerged.
- Avoid sudden temperature changes, which can cause seals to contract and allow water entry.
4. Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning
Wipe the watch case and strap regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt and sweat. For the PU strap, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by drying.
4.2 Avoiding Chemical Exposure
Do not expose the watch to chemical-containing cosmetics, solvents, or corrosive daily necessities. These substances can corrode the plating color of the watch surface and damage the strap material.
4.3 Battery Replacement
The watch uses a quartz movement and is powered by a battery. When the watch stops running, it indicates the battery needs replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and water resistance are maintained.
5. Troubleshooting
5.1 Watch Not Running
- Check if the crown is pushed in completely. If it's pulled out, the watch will not run.
- The battery may be depleted. Refer to the "Battery Replacement" section.
5.2 Date Not Changing
- Ensure the time is set correctly, especially the AM/PM cycle. The date typically changes around midnight.
- Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can interfere with the date change mechanism.
5.3 Water Inside the Watch
- If condensation or water droplets appear inside the watch, it indicates a breach in water resistance. Stop using the watch immediately and seek professional repair to prevent further damage to the movement.

7. User Tips
- Water Exposure: While the watch is 30M water resistant, avoid exposing it to hot water or steam (e.g., during hot showers or baths) as this can compromise the seals and lead to internal damage.
- Chemicals: Keep the watch away from perfumes, cosmetics, cleaning agents, and other chemicals. These can corrode the watch's finish and degrade the strap material.
- Accuracy: Quartz watches are generally very accurate. If you notice significant time discrepancies, it might be an indication of a low battery.
- Date Adjustment: To prevent damage to the date mechanism, avoid adjusting the date manually between 9:00 PM and 3:00 AM.
