Setup
Unboxing and Initial Inspection
Carefully remove the watch from its packaging. Inspect the watch for any visible damage or defects. Ensure all protective films are removed from the crystal and case back.
Time Setting
- Pull out the crown: Locate the crown on the right side of the watch case. Gently pull the crown out to the first or second click position (depending on the model's specific functions).
- Set the time: Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to adjust the hour and minute hands to the correct time.
- Push in the crown: Once the time is set, push the crown back into its normal operating position. This will start the watch movement.
Strap Adjustment
The watch features a black rubber strap. To adjust the fit, use the buckle to find a comfortable and secure position on your wrist. Ensure the strap is not too tight to restrict circulation, nor too loose to allow excessive movement.
Operating the Watch
Quartz Movement
Your Lotus khrono watch is equipped with a reliable quartz movement, powered by a battery. This ensures accurate timekeeping with minimal maintenance.
Sub-dial Functions (if applicable)
The watch dial features three sub-dials. While specific functions may vary, these typically indicate:
- 24-hour indicator: Displays the time in a 24-hour format.
- Day of the week: Indicates the current day.
- Date indicator: Shows the current date.
Refer to the specific markings on your watch's sub-dials for their exact functions. Adjustments for these sub-dials are typically made by pulling the crown to different positions or using additional pushers on the watch case.
Maintenance
Cleaning
To clean your watch, wipe the case and strap with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the watch's finish or rubber strap.
Battery Replacement
The watch uses 1 Product Specific battery. When the watch stops or the second hand begins to jump erratically (indicating low battery), it is time for a battery replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and prevent damage to the movement.
Storage
When not in use, store your watch in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and strong magnetic fields. Keeping it in its original box or a watch case can help protect it from dust and scratches.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Watch stops or runs intermittently | Low or dead battery | Replace the battery. |
| Time is inaccurate | Crown not fully pushed in; strong magnetic field exposure; internal movement issue | Ensure crown is fully pushed in. Move watch away from magnetic sources. If problem persists, consult a technician. |
| Condensation under crystal | Temperature change; moisture ingress | Avoid sudden temperature changes. If condensation persists, seek professional service to prevent damage. |
