4. Setup
4.1 Setting the Time
- Gently pull out the crown (the small knob on the side of the watch case) to the first or second position (depending on the model, usually the second position for time setting).
- Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to adjust the hour and minute hands to the correct time.
- Once the time is set, push the crown back into its original position to secure the setting and restart the watch movement.
4.2 Adjusting the Band
The stainless steel band may require adjustment to fit your wrist comfortably. This typically involves removing or adding links. It is recommended to have this procedure performed by a professional jeweler or watch repair service to avoid damaging the band or clasp.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Timekeeping
Your LIGE watch is powered by a precise Quartz movement, ensuring accurate time display. The hour, minute, and second hands will move continuously once the time is set and the crown is pushed back in.
5.2 Luminous Feature
The watch hands are treated with a luminous material. To activate the glow-in-the-dark feature, expose the watch face to a bright light source (natural or artificial) for a few minutes. The hands will then emit a glow in darker conditions, allowing for easy time reading.
5.3 Water Resistance
This watch has a water resistance rating of 3ATM (30 meters). This means it is suitable for:
- Daily splashes
- Handwashing
- Face washing
- Brief immersion in cold water (e.g., light rain)
IMPORTANT: Do NOT operate any buttons or the crown while the watch is wet or submerged in water. Avoid contact with hot water, steam, or extreme temperature changes, as this can compromise the water resistance seals.

6. Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning
To maintain the appearance of your watch, wipe it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For the stainless steel band, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the watch's finish.
6.2 Water Resistance Care
Periodically check the watch for any signs of damage to the case, crown, or crystal that might affect its water resistance. If the watch has been exposed to saltwater, rinse it gently with fresh water and dry thoroughly. Do not attempt to open the watch case yourself, as this will void the water resistance and potentially damage the movement.
6.3 Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by a quartz battery. When the watch stops or the second hand begins to skip, it's an indication that the battery needs to be replaced. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure the proper sealing and function of the watch.
7. Troubleshooting
7.1 Watch Not Running / Incorrect Time
- Check the Crown: Ensure the crown is fully pushed in after setting the time. If it's pulled out, the watch will not run.
- Battery: If the watch has stopped completely, the battery may need replacement. Consult a professional watch technician.
7.2 Visible Gears Not Moving / Only One Gear Moving
The LIGE Skeleton Quartz Wristwatch features a visible skeleton design, meaning some gears are intentionally exposed. While the watch is a quartz movement, some decorative gears may be static or move in conjunction with specific functions, such as the second hand. It is normal for only certain visible gears to move, as the primary timekeeping is managed by the quartz mechanism, not a fully mechanical one. The visible gears are part of the aesthetic design, showcasing the intricate look of a mechanical watch.
7.3 Water Ingress
If you notice moisture inside the watch, immediately take it to a professional watch repair service. Do not attempt to dry it yourself. Remember that operating buttons or the crown while the watch is wet, or exposing it to hot water/steam, can compromise its water resistance.
8. User Tips
- Water Exposure: While the watch is water-resistant for daily activities, avoid prolonged submersion, hot showers, saunas, or steam rooms to protect the internal components.
- Band Adjustment: For optimal comfort and to prevent damage, have the watch band adjusted by a professional.
- Cleaning: Regular gentle cleaning with a soft cloth will keep your watch looking new.
- Battery Life: Quartz watch batteries typically last 1-3 years. If the watch stops, a battery change is usually all that's needed.
