Setup

1. Battery Installation

The clock is powered by a single battery. If the clock is not running, or if the timekeeping becomes inaccurate, the battery may need to be installed or replaced.

  1. Carefully turn the clock over to access the back panel.
  2. Locate the battery compartment cover. This is typically a small, circular cover that can be opened by twisting it counter-clockwise using a coin or a suitable tool.
  3. Insert a new battery (type specified in the Specifications section) with the positive (+) side facing up.
  4. Replace the battery compartment cover by twisting it clockwise until secure.

  2. Gently pull the crown outwards. The second hand will stop moving.
  3. Rotate the crown to adjust the hour and minute hands to the desired time.
  4. Once the time is set, push the crown back into its original position. The second hand will resume movement.

Maintenance

Cleaning

To clean your clock, gently wipe the case and crystal with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the finish or the sapphire glass.

Battery Replacement

When the clock stops or runs inaccurately, it is time to replace the battery. Refer to the 'Battery Installation' section for detailed steps. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to prevent damage to the clock, especially to the back panel or crystal, as some users have reported difficulty with self-replacement.

Water Resistance

The clock is water-resistant up to 30 meters. This means it is protected against splashes and brief immersion in water, such as rain or hand washing. It is not suitable for swimming, showering, or diving. Avoid exposing the clock to hot water or steam, as this can compromise the water resistance seals.

Troubleshooting

  • Clock not running: Check if the battery is correctly installed and fully charged. Replace the battery if necessary.
  • Time is inaccurate: This usually indicates a low battery. Replace the battery. If the issue persists after battery replacement, contact customer support.
  • Hands are stuck: Ensure the time-setting crown is fully pushed in. If the hands remain stuck, do not force them; contact customer support.
