3. Specifications

Below are the detailed specifications for the BENYAR BY-5225 watch:

4. Setup

Before using your BENYAR BY-5225 watch, please follow these steps to set the time, date, and moon phase:

1. Unscrew the Crown: If your watch has a screw-down crown (common for water-resistant watches), gently unscrew it counter-clockwise until it pops out to position 0.
2. Setting the Date: Pull the crown out to position 1 (first click). Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise (depending on the movement) to adjust the date. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the movement.
3. Setting the Moon Phase: In crown position 1, turn the crown in the opposite direction from date setting to adjust the moon phase. Alternatively, some watches may have a recessed pusher on the side of the case for moon phase adjustment, which requires a small tool (like a toothpick) to press.
4. Setting the Time: Pull the crown out to position 2 (second click). Turn the crown to move the hour and minute hands. Advance the hands past 12 o'clock to ensure the AM/PM is correctly set for the date change. Once the correct time is set, push the crown back to position 0.
5. Secure the Crown: If it's a screw-down crown, push it in and screw it clockwise firmly against the case to ensure water resistance.

5. Operating Instructions

Your BENYAR BY-5225 watch features a chronograph function for timing events and a moon phase display.

5.1. Chronograph Function

The chronograph is operated using the two pushers located on the side of the watch case, typically above and below the crown.

1. Start: Press the top pusher to start the chronograph (the large second hand will begin to move, along with the minute and hour subdials).
2. Stop: Press the top pusher again to stop the chronograph. The elapsed time will be displayed on the subdials.
3. Reset: After stopping the chronograph, press the bottom pusher to reset all chronograph hands back to their zero positions.

Note: Do not press the chronograph pushers while the watch is wet or submerged in water, as this can compromise water resistance.

5.2. Moon Phase Display

The moon phase subdial indicates the current phase of the moon. This is typically set during the initial setup process (as described in Section 4) and will advance automatically with the date. If it needs adjustment, refer to the setting instructions.

5.3. Water Resistance (5 Bar / 50 Meters)

Your watch is water-resistant to 5 Bar (50 meters). This means it is suitable for daily use, such as accidental splashes, rain, and short periods of recreational swimming. It is NOT suitable for diving, snorkeling, or high-pressure water activities. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in and, if applicable, screwed down tightly to maintain water resistance.

6. Maintenance

Proper care will help preserve the appearance and functionality of your BENYAR watch.

• Cleaning: Wipe the watch case and bracelet regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust, sweat, and fingerprints. For stainless steel, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry one.
• Avoid Chemicals: Do not expose your watch to harsh chemicals, solvents, or detergents, as these can damage the case, strap, or seals.
• Temperature Extremes: Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures (hot or cold) or sudden temperature changes, which can affect the movement and water resistance seals.
• Water Resistance Check: If the watch is frequently exposed to water, it is recommended to have the water resistance seals checked by a professional watchmaker every 1-2 years.
• Battery Replacement: The quartz movement is powered by a battery. When the battery runs low, the second hand may start skipping seconds or stop entirely. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure the correct battery type is used and water resistance is maintained.
• Storage: When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place, preferably in its original box or a watch case, away from direct sunlight and strong magnetic fields.

7. Troubleshooting

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

• Watch Not Running:
  • Check if the crown is fully pushed in and, if applicable, screwed down.
  • The battery may be depleted. Contact a professional watch technician for battery replacement.
• Date Not Changing:
  • Ensure the time is set correctly, especially the AM/PM cycle. The date typically changes around midnight.
  • Manually advance the date using the crown in position 1.
• Chronograph Hands Not Resetting to Zero:
  • This may require a chronograph reset procedure. Consult a professional watch technician if the issue persists after attempting to reset using the pushers.
• Moisture Inside the Watch:
  • If you notice condensation or water inside the watch, immediately take it to a professional watchmaker. Do not attempt to open the watch yourself, as this can cause further damage.

8. User Tips

No specific user tips were available from provided reviews or Q&A content. However, general best practices for watches include:

• Avoid wearing your watch too tightly or too loosely; a comfortable fit prevents skin irritation and wear on the bracelet.
• If you plan to store the watch for an extended period, consider having the battery removed by a professional to prevent leakage, although modern batteries are less prone to this.
• Regularly inspect the clasp and pins for any signs of wear or damage to prevent accidental detachment.
