To set the time and date, typically you will:

1. Press the MODE button repeatedly until you enter the time setting mode (often indicated by flashing digits).

3. Use the START button to adjust the value of the selected digit.
4. Once all settings are correct, press the MODE button again to exit the setting mode.

The watch supports both 12-hour and 24-hour time formats. This can usually be toggled within the time setting mode using one of the adjustment buttons.

Water Resistance:

The SANDA 3168 watch is rated for 50 meters (5 Bar) water resistance. This means it is suitable for daily use, showering, and swimming in shallow water. It is NOT suitable for diving or snorkeling. Important: Do not press any buttons while the watch is submerged in water, as this can compromise the water resistance seal.

Shock Resistance:

The watch is designed with a shockproof and fall-proof ABS case, providing good anti-seismic function for active lifestyles.

4. Care and Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the watch regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt and moisture. For the silicone strap, a mild soap solution and water can be used, followed by thorough drying.
• Water Resistance: While water resistant, avoid exposing the watch to hot water or steam, as this can damage the seals. Always ensure the crown and buttons are fully pushed in before any contact with water.
• Battery: The watch uses a MAXELL JAPAN ORIGINAL BATTERY (CR2016). When the display dims or functions become erratic, it may be time for a battery replacement. It is recommended to have this done by a professional to ensure water resistance is maintained.
• Storage: Store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and strong magnetic fields.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your SANDA 3168 watch, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Display is blank or dim: The battery may be low. Replace the battery (CR2016).
• Buttons are unresponsive: Ensure the watch is not in a locked mode (if applicable). If the issue persists, a battery replacement might be needed, or there could be an internal malfunction.
• Time is inaccurate: Re-set the time following the instructions in the 'Initial Setup' section. If the time continues to be inaccurate, the battery may be weak, or the movement might require servicing.
• Water inside the watch: If moisture appears inside the watch, stop using it immediately and have it inspected by a professional. This indicates a compromised water resistance seal.
