Setup

- Once the time is set, push the crown back into its original position to engage the movement and start the watch.
Note: This model does not feature a date display.
Operating
Your Skagen 853XLSBB watch is designed for straightforward operation. Once the time is set, the quartz movement will accurately keep time. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in to maintain water resistance and prevent accidental time changes.
Wearing the Watch:
- Adjust the stainless steel band to fit comfortably on your wrist. The Tang Buckle closure allows for secure fastening.
- Avoid wearing the watch too tightly, which can restrict circulation, or too loosely, which can cause it to move excessively.
Maintenance
Cleaning:
- Wipe the watch case and crystal with a soft, dry cloth regularly to remove dust and fingerprints.
- For the stainless steel band, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Water Resistance:
This watch has a water resistance rating of 30 meters (3 ATM). This means it is suitable for everyday use and can withstand splashes or brief immersion in water. However, it is not recommended for swimming, showering, or diving. Do not operate the crown while the watch is wet.
Battery Replacement:
The watch is powered by a quartz battery. When the watch stops running, it indicates the battery needs replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.
Troubleshooting
- Watch Not Running: Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If it is, the battery may need replacement.
- Time Inaccuracy: If the watch is consistently fast or slow, the battery may be low, or the movement may require servicing. Consult a professional watch repair service.
- Condensation Under Crystal: This indicates a loss of water resistance. Avoid further contact with water and seek professional service immediately.
