The SAPPHERO SO2103 watch features a crown on the right side for adjusting the time and date. Follow these steps:

4.2 Strap Adjustment
Your watch comes with a strap adjustment tool. If the silicone strap needs to be resized or replaced, use this tool carefully to manipulate the spring bars connecting the strap to the watch case. Ensure the strap is securely reattached before wearing.
5. Operating Features
5.1 Luminous Hands
The watch features luminous hands and markers that glow in the dark. For optimal luminescence, expose the watch dial to a light source (natural or artificial) for a few minutes. The hands and markers will absorb the light and emit a glow in low-light conditions.

5.2 Water Resistance (5ATM)
Your SAPPHERO SO2103 watch has a water resistance rating of 5ATM (50 meters), which means it is suitable for daily use and can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water. However, it is NOT suitable for hot water activities, bathing, swimming, or diving.

6. Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning
- Case and Crystal: Use the provided watch wiping cloth or a soft, dry cloth to gently clean the watch case and crystal. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Silicone Strap: The silicone strap is resistant to sweat corrosion and easy to clean. Wipe it with a damp cloth to remove dust or stains. Ensure it is dry before wearing.
6.2 Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by a high-quality battery with an approximate life of 2-3 years. When the watch stops or the time becomes inconsistent, it may be time for a battery replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a professional watchmaker to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.
7. Troubleshooting
- Watch is not running or time is inaccurate:
- Ensure the crown is fully pushed in after setting the time/date.
- The battery may need replacement. Refer to Section 6.2.
- Date does not change at midnight:
- The watch may be set to AM instead of PM. Advance the time by 12 hours.
- Water ingress:
- If water appears inside the watch, immediately take it to a professional watchmaker. This may indicate a compromised seal. Avoid further contact with water.
8. User Tips
- Luminous Feature: Users have noted that the luminous hands are effective and provide good visibility in low light. Ensure sufficient light exposure for optimal glow.
- Strap Comfort: The silicone strap is generally found to be very comfortable for extended wear.
- Case Appearance: Some users perceive the case to be slightly thinner than depicted in images. This is a design characteristic and does not affect durability.
- Silicone Strap Maintenance: While comfortable, silicone straps can attract dust. Regular wiping with a damp cloth will keep it clean.
- Water Resistance Clarification: The 5ATM rating is suitable for daily splashes and rain, but not for swimming in pools or the beach, or for hot showers, as explicitly stated in the specifications.
- Black Case Durability: The black coating on the stainless steel case is designed to resist everyday wear and sweat. However, like all coatings, extreme abrasion should be avoided to maintain its finish.
- Dial Readability: While the dial design is comprehensive, some users suggest that different color accents for number bands could enhance clarity.
