Setup
-
Setting the Time:
Pull the crown out to the second position (farthest from the watch case). Turn the crown to adjust the hour and minute hands to the desired time. Push the crown back in to the first position to start the watch.
-
Setting the Date:
Pull the crown out to the first position (closest to the watch case). Turn the crown to adjust the date in the date window. Once the correct date is set, push the crown back in to the original position.
-
Chronograph Reset:
If the chronograph sub-dial hands are not aligned to zero, pull the crown out to the second position. Press the top pusher to adjust the 1/10 second hand. Press the bottom pusher to adjust the minute and second sub-dial hands. Once all hands are at zero, push the crown back in to the original position.
Operating Instructions
-
Using the Chronograph:
- Press the top pusher to start the chronograph.
- Press the top pusher again to stop the chronograph.
- Press the bottom pusher to reset the chronograph hands to zero.

Luminous Function:
The watch features luminous hands and markers that absorb light and glow in the dark, providing visibility in low-light conditions. Exposure to bright light will enhance the glow.

Water Resistance (5ATM / IP67):
Your SAPPHERO SO2215 watch is rated for 5ATM (50 meters) water resistance, which means it is suitable for daily use, including splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water. It is equipped with a sealed waterproof ring.

Important Note:
- Do NOT operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged.
- 5ATM water resistance is NOT suitable for swimming, diving, or hot water activities (e.g., sauna, hot baths), as steam can penetrate the sealing ring and damage the watch.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to water to maintain the integrity of the leather strap.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the watch case and crystal with a soft, dry cloth regularly to remove dust and smudges. For the leather strap, use a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry completely.
- Avoid Chemicals: Do not expose your watch to harsh chemicals, solvents, or detergents, as these can damage the case, strap, and internal components.
- Temperature Extremes: Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures (hot or cold) or sudden temperature changes, which can affect the movement and water resistance.
- Magnetic Fields: Keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields (e.g., speakers, refrigerators, mobile phones) to prevent interference with the quartz movement.
- Strap Care: The PU leather strap is designed for comfort and durability. To prolong its life, avoid excessive moisture and direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting
-
Chronograph Hands Not Aligning to Zero:
If the chronograph sub-dial hands do not reset to the zero position, follow the 'Chronograph Reset' steps in the Setup section to manually adjust them.
-
Watch Not Running / Incorrect Time:
Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If the watch still does not run or keeps incorrect time, the battery may need replacement. Consult a professional watch repair service.
-
Movement Does Not Stop When Crown is Pulled:
For some quartz movements, the second hand may not stop when the crown is pulled to the first position (date setting). However, it should stop when pulled to the second position (time setting). If the movement continues to run when the crown is in the second position, this may indicate a malfunction, and professional inspection is recommended.
-
Material Concerns:
The SAPPHERO SO2215 watch case is specified as Stainless Steel. If you have concerns about the material, please refer to the product specifications and contact customer support if you believe there is a discrepancy.
User Tips
- Strap Break-in: The PU leather strap may feel stiff initially. Wear the watch regularly to allow the strap to soften and conform to your wrist for increased comfort.
- Strap Customization: If the included strap does not meet your personal preference, the watch is designed to accommodate standard 20mm width straps, allowing for customization with various materials and styles (e.g., NATO straps).
- Chronograph Alignment: If you notice the chronograph sub-dials are slightly off-center, remember that they can be manually adjusted using the crown and pushers as described in the Setup section.
