4. Setup Instructions
4.1 Setting the Time and Date
- Pull out the crown: Gently pull the crown (the knob on the side of the watch) to position 2 for date adjustment, or position 3 for time adjustment.
- Adjust the date: In position 2, rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the correct date. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the movement.
- Adjust the time: In position 3, rotate the crown to set the correct time. Ensure you set the correct AM/PM by observing if the date changes when passing midnight.
- Push in the crown: Once the time and date are set, push the crown back into position 1 (normal operating position) to start the watch.
4.2 Using the Chronograph Function
The chronograph allows you to measure elapsed time. Your watch features three sub-dials for this function.
- Start: Press the upper pusher button (A) to start the chronograph. The large second hand will begin to move.
- Stop/Pause: Press the upper pusher button (A) again to stop or pause the chronograph.
- Reset: With the chronograph stopped, press the lower pusher button (B) to reset all chronograph hands to their zero positions.
4.3 Luminous Hands
The watch features luminous hands and markers that glow in the dark after exposure to light. This allows for readability in low-light conditions.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1 General Use
Your SAPPHERO watch is designed for everyday wear. Avoid exposing it to strong magnetic fields, extreme temperatures, or harsh chemicals.
5.2 Water Resistance (5ATM)
Your watch has a water resistance rating of 5ATM (50 meters). This means it is suitable for daily use, including splashes, rain, and short periods of recreational swimming in shallow water. However, it is NOT suitable for diving, snorkeling, or hot water activities (e.g., hot showers, saunas), as temperature changes can affect the seals. Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged.
6. Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning
Wipe your watch regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. For the stainless steel band, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
6.2 Battery Replacement
The quartz movement is powered by a 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.
6.3 Storage
When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and strong magnetic fields. The original packaging box is ideal for storage.
7. Troubleshooting
- Watch not running:
- Check if the crown is fully pushed in (position 1).
- The battery may need replacement. - Date changes at noon:
- This indicates the time is set for PM instead of AM. Pull the crown to position 3, advance the time by 12 hours, and then push the crown back in. - Chronograph hands do not reset to zero:
- If the chronograph hands are misaligned, consult a professional watchmaker for adjustment. - Condensation inside the watch:
- This indicates a breach in the water resistance. Stop using the watch immediately and have it inspected by a professional watchmaker to prevent further damage.
8. User Tips
- Strap Adjustment: Your watch comes with a strap adjustment tool. For a comfortable fit, you may need to remove or add links. If unsure, seek professional assistance to avoid damaging the band.
- Understanding Water Resistance: Always remember that 5ATM is suitable for splashes and light swimming, but not for high-pressure water activities or hot water.
