Setup Instructions
Before using your watch, please follow these steps to set the time and date:
- Setting the Time:
- Pull the crown out to the second position (farthest out).
- Rotate the crown to adjust the hour and minute hands to the correct time.
- Push the crown back to the normal position to start the watch.
- Setting the Date:
- Pull the crown out to the first position (one click out).
- Rotate the crown to adjust the date in the date window.
- Once the correct date is displayed, push the crown back to the normal position.
- Activating the Watch:
If the watch is not running, it may be due to the battery being disengaged for shipping. Ensure the crown is pushed all the way in to activate the movement.
Operating the Chronograph
Your SAPPHERO SO2214 watch features a chronograph function for measuring elapsed time:
- Start/Stop: Press the top pusher to start the chronograph. Press it again to stop.
- Reset: With the chronograph stopped, press the bottom pusher to reset all chronograph hands to zero.
Note: The sub-dials display chronograph seconds, chronograph minutes, and a 24-hour indicator.
Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe your watch regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. For the leather strap, avoid excessive moisture.
- Water Resistance: The watch is 5ATM (50 meters) water resistant. This means it is suitable for daily use, hand washing, rain, and swimming. However, it is NOT suitable for hot showers, diving, or prolonged underwater activities. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before exposing the watch to water.
- Temperature: Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures (hot or cold) or sudden temperature changes.
- Chemicals: Keep your watch away from chemicals such as solvents, detergents, perfumes, and cosmetics, as they can damage the case, strap, or seals.
- Magnetic Fields: Avoid strong magnetic fields, which can affect the accuracy of the quartz movement.
- Battery: The watch uses a quartz movement and is battery-powered. When the watch stops, replace the battery promptly to prevent leakage and damage to the movement. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician.

User Tips
- To maintain the appearance of the PU leather strap, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and excessive moisture.
- The luminous hands require exposure to light to glow in the dark. Ensure your watch gets sufficient light exposure during the day for optimal night visibility.
- When setting the date, it is generally recommended to avoid adjusting it between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this is when the date change mechanism is engaged and could be damaged.
