2. Setup and Initial Use
2.1 Setting Time and Date
- Pull the Crown: Gently pull the crown (the knob on the side of the watch case) out to the first or second click position, depending on your model's specific functions.
- Adjust Time: Rotate the crown to set the hour and minute hands. Ensure you set the correct AM/PM for the date change mechanism.
- Adjust Date: If applicable, rotate the crown in the opposite direction or pull it to a different click position to adjust the date.
- Push Crown Back: Once set, push the crown back in completely to start the watch movement and ensure water resistance.
2.2 Setting Tide and Moon Phase Functions
The Hydroclimb watch features dedicated tide and moon phase indicators. Specific adjustment procedures for these functions may vary. Typically, these are set using dedicated pushers or by manipulating the crown in specific positions. Refer to the detailed diagram in a comprehensive manual for precise instructions on calibrating these features based on your local tide and moon cycle data.

- Start: Press the upper pusher (button) to start the chronograph.
- Stop: Press the upper pusher again to stop the chronograph.
- Reset: Press the lower pusher to reset the chronograph hands to zero.

4. Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: Clean the watch case and strap regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For silicone straps, mild soap and water can be used. Ensure the watch is dry before storing.
- Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Do not expose the watch to extreme temperatures (hot or cold) or sudden temperature changes, as this can affect its accuracy and seals.
- Chemicals: Avoid contact with solvents, detergents, perfumes, and cosmetic products, which can damage the case, strap, or seals.
- Battery Replacement: When the watch stops or the second hand jumps irregularly, the battery needs replacement. This should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and function.
5. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Watch not running | Depleted battery | Replace battery (professional service recommended). |
| Incorrect time/date | Crown not fully pushed in; incorrect setting | Ensure crown is pushed in. Re-set time/date as per Section 2.1. |
