Setup
Setting the Time
- Pull the crown out to the second click position. The second hand will stop.
- Turn the crown to set the hour and minute hands to the desired time.
- Push the crown back into the normal position. The second hand will resume movement.
Note: If your watch has a date function (not explicitly listed for this model but common), you would typically pull the crown to the first click position to set the date. Refer to specific instructions if your model includes this feature.
Operating the Chronograph
The chronograph function allows you to measure elapsed time. Your watch features two pushers, typically located at the 2 o'clock and 4 o'clock positions.
- Start/Stop: Press the upper pusher (usually at 2 o'clock) to start the chronograph. Press it again to stop the measurement.
- Reset: While the chronograph is stopped, press the lower pusher (usually at 4 o'clock) to reset all chronograph hands to their zero positions.
Note: Avoid operating the pushers or crown while the watch is submerged in water to prevent water intrusion.
Maintenance
Water Resistance
Your GUESS W16559G1 watch is water resistant up to 50 meters (5 ATM). This means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, but not for diving or snorkeling. Avoid exposing the watch to hot water, steam, or sudden temperature changes, as this can compromise the water seals.
- Do not operate the crown or pushers when the watch is wet or submerged.
- Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.
- Have the water resistance seals checked periodically by an authorized service center, especially after battery replacement.
Cleaning
To maintain the appearance of your watch:
- Wipe the case and crystal with a soft, dry cloth.
- For the leather strap, avoid prolonged exposure to water, direct sunlight, and harsh chemicals, which can cause damage or discoloration. Clean with a slightly damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by a quartz battery. When the battery runs low, the second hand may start moving at two-second intervals (End-of-Life indicator). It is recommended to have the battery replaced by an authorized GUESS service center to ensure proper sealing and function.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Watch stops or runs erratically. | Low battery. | Replace the battery at an authorized service center. |
| Water condensation under the crystal. | Water resistance compromised. | Immediately take the watch to an authorized service center for inspection and repair. Avoid further contact with water. |
| Chronograph hands do not reset to zero. | Requires calibration. | Consult an authorized service center for adjustment. Some quartz chronographs allow user calibration, but this model's manual does not specify. |
