Forsining F6921M3 Mechanical Automatic Watch User Manual

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Forsining F6921M3 Retro New Luxury Men's Mechanical Automatic Watch. This timepiece combines classic design with reliable automatic mechanical movement, featuring a concave glass, date display, and two functional sub-dials. This manual provides essential information to help you understand, operate, and maintain your watch for optimal performance and longevity.

Setup

Initial Winding

Your Forsining F6921M3 watch is powered by an automatic mechanical movement, meaning it winds itself with the motion of your wrist. However, for the first use or after the watch has stopped for an extended period, it requires manual winding:

1. Ensure the crown is in its original, pushed-in position (Position 0).
2. Turn the crown clockwise approximately 30-40 times. This will provide enough power reserve to start the watch and allow the automatic winding mechanism to take over.

Setting the Time and Date

To set the time and date:

1. Pull the crown out to Position 2 (the outermost position). Turn the crown to adjust the hour and minute hands to the correct time.
2. Push the crown back in to Position 1 (middle position). Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the date and day of the week. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the movement.
3. Once the date and day are set, pull the crown back out to Position 2 and adjust the time again, ensuring the AM/PM is correct for the date change.
4. Push the crown back completely to Position 0 to secure the settings and ensure water resistance.

Adjusting the Strap

The watch comes with a genuine leather strap and a pin buckle. Adjust the buckle to a comfortable fit on your wrist, ensuring it is snug but not too tight to allow for proper blood circulation.

Operating Instructions

Automatic Mechanical Movement

This watch features an automatic self-wind mechanical movement. It is powered by the natural motion of your arm and wrist. When worn daily for at least 8-10 hours, the watch will remain wound. If the watch is not worn for an extended period, it may stop and require manual winding as described in the 'Initial Winding' section.

Sub-Dials and Features

The watch includes a complete calendar and week display, indicated by the two sub-dials. These functions are typically adjusted via the crown in Position 1 or by using the small pushers on the side of the case. Refer to the 'Setting the Time and Date' section for basic adjustments.

Water Resistance (3ATM)

Your watch is rated for 3ATM (30 meters) water resistance. This means it is suitable for daily waterproofing, such as resisting small splashes from washing hands and face, or light rain. It is NOT suitable for showering, swimming, diving, or any prolonged immersion in water. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in to maintain water resistance.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the watch case and crystal regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and smudges. For the leather strap, use a slightly damp cloth and then dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Water Exposure: Despite its water resistance, avoid unnecessary exposure to water. If the watch gets wet, dry it immediately with a soft cloth. Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet.
• Temperature: Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures (hot or cold) or sudden temperature changes, as this can affect the movement and seals.
• Magnetic Fields: Keep your watch away from strong magnetic fields (e.g., speakers, refrigerators, mobile phones, airport security scanners), as these can affect the accuracy of mechanical movements.
• Leather Strap Care: Leather straps can be affected by sweat, water, and direct sunlight. Clean and condition the strap periodically to maintain its appearance and prolong its life.

Troubleshooting

• Watch Not Running: If the watch has stopped, manually wind it by turning the crown clockwise 30-40 times. If it still doesn't start, ensure it has sufficient wrist movement throughout the day.
• Time/Date Not Changing: Check if the crown is fully pushed in (Position 0) after setting. If the date/day is stuck, try adjusting it outside the 9 PM - 3 AM window.
• Inaccurate Time: Mechanical watches can vary slightly in accuracy. If the watch is consistently very fast or slow, it might need adjustment by a professional watchmaker. Exposure to strong magnetic fields can also cause inaccuracy.
• Condensation Under Crystal: If you notice condensation inside the watch, it indicates a breach in water resistance. Take the watch to a professional immediately to prevent further damage to the movement.

User Tips

• Consistent Wear: For optimal performance of the automatic movement, wear your watch regularly. If you alternate watches, consider a watch winder to keep it running and accurate.
• Gentle Handling: Mechanical watches are intricate instruments. Avoid dropping your watch or subjecting it to strong impacts, which can damage the delicate internal components.
• Avoid Extreme Environments: Do not expose your watch to extreme heat (e.g., saunas, hot tubs) or cold, as this can compromise the seals and lubricants.
• Crown Check: Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in after setting the time or date to maintain the watch's water resistance.
