2. Setting the Time and Date
- Pull out the crown: Gently pull the crown (the knob on the side of the watch) to the outermost position.
- Set the time: Rotate the crown to move the hour and minute hands clockwise until the desired time is displayed. For accurate time setting, align the minute hand with the correct minute mark when the second hand reaches the 12 o'clock position.
- Set the date: If your watch has a date function, pull the crown to the middle position (if applicable, some watches have only two positions). Rotate the crown to adjust the date. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can interfere with the date change mechanism.
- Push in the crown: Once the time and date are set, push the crown back into its normal operating position to start the watch.
3. Strap Adjustment
The watch features a black silicone strap with a buckle closure. Adjust the strap by inserting the pin into the appropriate hole for a comfortable and secure fit on your wrist.

Operating Instructions
1. Basic Timekeeping
Your GUESS watch displays time using hour, minute, and second hands on an analog dial.
2. Chronograph Function
This watch is equipped with a chronograph (stopwatch) function, 24-hour/international time display, and a date display. The specific operation of the chronograph sub-dials and pushers may vary slightly. Refer to the markings on your watch dial for specific functions:
- Start/Stop: Typically, the top pusher (button) on the side of the case starts and stops the chronograph.
- Reset: The bottom pusher usually resets the chronograph hands to zero.
- Sub-dials: Observe the sub-dials for elapsed seconds, minutes, and 24-hour time.
3. Water Resistance
Your watch is water-resistant to 100 meters (330 feet). This means it is suitable for swimming and snorkeling. However, it is not suitable for diving. Avoid operating the crown or pushers when the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise the water resistance.
Maintenance
1. Cleaning
- Case and Crystal: Wipe the watch case and crystal with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying.
- Silicone Strap: The silicone strap can be cleaned with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before wearing.
- Avoid Chemicals: Do not use harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the watch's finish or strap material.
2. Water Exposure Precautions
- Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.
- Avoid exposing the watch to hot water, steam, or sudden temperature changes, which can affect the water resistance seals.
- Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to saltwater or chlorinated water.
3. Battery Replacement
Your watch is powered by a product-specific battery (included). When the watch stops or the second hand begins to jump erratically (if applicable), the battery may need replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by an authorized GUESS service center or a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.
4. Storage
When not in use, store your watch in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keeping it in its original box can provide additional protection.
Troubleshooting
- Watch not running:
- Ensure the crown is fully pushed in.
- The battery may need replacement. Refer to the "Battery Replacement" section.
- Incorrect time/date:
- Follow the "Setting the Time and Date" instructions in the Setup section.
- Water inside the watch:
- Immediately take the watch to an authorized service center. Do not attempt to open the watch yourself.
