3. Setup and Initial Operation
3.1. Battery Information
Your watch is powered by a product-specific battery, which is included and pre-installed. The quartz movement ensures long battery life. If the watch stops, the battery may need replacement. It is recommended to have battery replacement performed by a qualified watch technician.
3.2. Setting the Time
- Pull the crown (the knob on the side of the watch) out to the second position.
- Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the hour and minute hands to the correct time.
- Once the time is set, push the crown back into its normal position.
4. Operating Instructions: Chronograph Function
The chronograph function allows you to measure elapsed time independently of the main time display.
- Starting the Chronograph: Press the upper pusher (button) to start the chronograph. The chronograph second hand will begin to move.
- Stopping the Chronograph: Press the upper pusher again to stop the chronograph. The elapsed time will be indicated by the chronograph hands.
- Resetting the Chronograph: After stopping the chronograph, press the lower pusher to reset all chronograph hands to their zero positions.
- Split Time (if applicable): Refer to specific sub-dial functions for detailed split-time measurements if your model supports it.
5. Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: Wipe the watch case and crystal with a soft, dry cloth. For the silicone strap, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly, then dry completely.
- Avoid Chemicals: Do not expose the watch to harsh chemicals, solvents, or detergents, as these can damage the case, strap, or seals.
- Temperature Extremes: Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures (hot or cold) or sudden temperature changes, which can affect accuracy and water resistance.
- Magnetic Fields: Keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields, as they can interfere with the quartz movement.
- Crown Position: Always ensure the crown is pushed in completely to maintain water resistance.
6. Troubleshooting
- Watch Not Running: If the watch stops, the battery may need replacement. Consult a professional watch technician.
- Inaccurate Time: Ensure the crown is fully pushed in. If the issue persists, the watch may require servicing.
- Chronograph Hands Not Resetting to Zero: This may indicate a need for calibration or service. Do not attempt to force the hands.
- Condensation Inside Crystal: If condensation appears under the crystal, it indicates a loss of water resistance. Have the watch inspected immediately by a professional.
