4. Initial Setup
Before using your watch, you may need to set the time and date. The watch features four buttons: LIGHT, MODE, START, and RESET.
4.1 Setting Time and Date
- Press the MODE button repeatedly until you enter the time setting mode (usually indicated by flashing digits).
- Use the START button to increment the value (hours, minutes, seconds).
- Use the RESET button to move between different setting fields (e.g., from hours to minutes, then to date, month, year).
- Once all settings are correct, press the MODE button to exit the setting mode.
The analog hands are typically synchronized with the digital time or can be adjusted separately using the 'Set key' (crown) if present, as indicated in the diagram. For this model, the 'Set key' is for pointer rotation, which likely adjusts the analog time.

5.2 Using the Backlight (LIGHT button)

5.4 Alarm Function

5.5 Water Resistance
The watch is rated for 50m (5Bar) water resistance. This means it is suitable for:
- Washing hands
- Washing face
- Cold baths
Important: Do NOT use the watch with hot water or warm water for bathing and showering, as water vapor can enter the watch and cause damage. Do not press buttons underwater.
6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the watch regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and then dry thoroughly.
- Avoid Chemicals: Do not expose the watch to any chemical substances, cosmetics, or corrosive daily necessities. These can corrode the plating color on the surface of the watch.
- Temperature Extremes: Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures (hot or cold) for prolonged periods, as this can affect battery life and watch components.
- Storage: When not in use, store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
7. Troubleshooting
- Display is blank or dim: The battery may be low or depleted. Replace the battery (MAXELL type) with a new one.
- Time is inaccurate: Re-set the time and date following the instructions in Section 4.1. If the issue persists, the battery might be weak or the movement may require inspection.
- Water inside the watch: If moisture or condensation appears inside the watch, stop using it immediately and seek professional assistance. This indicates a breach in water resistance.
- Buttons are unresponsive: Ensure no dirt or debris is lodged around the buttons. If they remain unresponsive, there might be an internal issue.
8. User Tips
- Familiarize yourself with the button functions by practicing mode changes and settings.
- Regularly check the time and date to ensure accuracy.
- Utilize the alarm function for daily reminders or as a travel companion.
