Setup and Initial Use

Setting the Time

1. Pull the crown (middle button on the right side of the watch) out to position 2.

2. Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise (depending on the model) until the correct date appears in the date window.
3. Push the crown back into its original position.

Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: Wipe the watch regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. For the silicone band, a mild soap and water solution can be used, followed by thorough rinsing and drying.
• Water Resistance: The watch is water-resistant up to 100 meters (10 ATM). This means it can withstand splashes, rain, showering, swimming, snorkeling, and shallow diving. However, it is not suitable for high-impact water sports or deep-sea diving. Ensure the crown is pushed in completely before any water exposure.
• Temperature: Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures (hot or cold) or sudden temperature changes, as this can affect its accuracy and seals.
• Chemicals: Keep the watch away from chemicals such as solvents, detergents, perfumes, and cosmetics, which can damage the case, band, or seals.
• Battery Replacement: When the battery needs replacement, it is recommended to have it done by an authorized Michael Kors service center to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.

Troubleshooting

• Watch Not Running: Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If the watch still does not run, the battery may need replacement.
• Incorrect Time/Date: Refer to the "Setting the Time" and "Setting the Date" sections to re-adjust.
• Chronograph Not Resetting to Zero: This may require a specific reset procedure. Consult an authorized service center if the standard reset (pressing button B after stopping) does not work.
• Condensation Under Crystal: If condensation appears under the crystal, it indicates a potential issue with the watch's water resistance. Seek immediate service from an authorized technician.
