RUIGE Star Ocean Fashion Men's Watch - Model N3

1. Introduction

Thank you for choosing the RUIGE Star Ocean Fashion Men's Watch. This multi-functional quartz wristwatch combines elegant design with practical features, including a unique starry sky dial, moon phase display, complete calendar, and luminous hands. Please read this manual carefully to understand its operation and ensure proper care.

2. Initial Setup

Before wearing your watch, you may need to set the time, date, and other functions.

1. Setting the Time:
   • Gently pull the crown (the knob on the side of the watch) out to position 2 (the outermost position).
   • Rotate the crown to move the hands clockwise or counter-clockwise until the correct time is displayed.
   • Once the time is set, push the crown back in to position 0 (the innermost position) to start the watch.
2. Setting the Date:
   • Gently pull the crown out to position 1 (the middle position).
   • Rotate the crown to adjust the date in the date window (located at the 3 o'clock position).
   • Important: Avoid setting the date between 9:00 PM and 3:00 AM, as this can damage the watch's internal mechanism. If you need to set the date during this period, first set the time outside this range, adjust the date, and then reset the time.
   • Push the crown back in to position 0.
3. Setting Moon Phase / Day-Night Indicator:
   • The moon phase or day-night indicator typically advances with the time. It may be synchronized when setting the time, or adjusted via a small, recessed pusher on the side of the watch case (if present). Use a small, non-sharp tool (like a toothpick) to press such pushers.
4. Activating Luminous Display:
   • To activate the luminous hands and markers, expose the watch dial to a bright light source (natural or artificial) for a few minutes. The luminous powder will absorb the light and glow in darker conditions.

3. Operation

Your RUIGE Star Ocean watch features several functions:

• Time Display: Standard hour, minute, and second hands for accurate timekeeping.
• Date Display: A dedicated window at the 3 o'clock position shows the current date.
• Moon Phase / Day-Night Indicator: The intricate dial includes a moon phase or day-night indicator, adding a unique aesthetic and functional element.
• Complete Calendar: In addition to the date, the watch features a complete calendar, which may include sub-dials or indicators for the day of the week or month.
• Luminous Display: The watch hands and hour markers are coated with high-brightness luminous powder, ensuring readability in low-light conditions. The glow lasts longer with sufficient light exposure.

4. Maintenance and Care

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your watch, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Regularly wipe the watch case and band with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to remove dust and smudges. For the stainless steel band, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying.
• Water Resistance: Your watch is water-resistant to 30 meters (3ATM). This means it is suitable for daily use, such as accidental splashes, rain, and hand washing. However, it is not suitable for showering with warm or hot water, swimming, diving, or any activities involving prolonged water immersion or high-pressure water jets. Exposure to warm or hot water can compromise the sealed waterproof ring and anti-fog function.

• Battery Replacement: The watch is powered by a quartz movement with an included battery. When the watch stops or the second hand starts skipping, it's an indication that the battery needs replacement. We recommend having the battery replaced by a professional watchmaker to ensure the water resistance seal is maintained.
• Avoid Extreme Conditions: Protect your watch from extreme temperatures (both hot and cold), strong magnetic fields, and harsh chemicals (e.g., solvents, detergents, perfumes). These can damage the movement, case, or seals.
• Impact Protection: While the Hardlex crystal is scratch-resistant, avoid dropping the watch or subjecting it to strong impacts, which could damage the internal components or the crystal itself.

5. Troubleshooting

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

• Watch Not Running:
  • Ensure the crown is fully pushed in to position 0.
  • If the watch still does not run, the battery may need to be replaced. Consult a professional watchmaker.
• Date/Time Not Changing or Incorrect:
  • Verify that the crown is pulled out to the correct position (position 1 for date, position 2 for time) when making adjustments.
  • Remember to avoid setting the date between 9:00 PM and 3:00 AM to prevent damage.
• Fogging Inside the Crystal:
  • Temporary fogging can occur due to sudden temperature changes (e.g., moving from a cold to a warm environment). This usually dissipates quickly.
  • If fogging is persistent or water droplets are visible, the watch's water resistance may have been compromised. Seek immediate professional service to prevent further damage to the movement.

• Maximizing Luminous Glow: To get the best glow from your watch in the dark, expose the dial to bright natural sunlight or a strong artificial light source for several minutes before entering a dimly lit environment.
• Band Adjustment: The stainless steel band can be adjusted for size. It is recommended to have this done by a professional watchmaker to avoid damaging the links or clasp.
