Setup
Initial Winding
As an automatic watch, this timepiece is powered by the motion of your wrist. For initial setup or after a period of inactivity, gently shake the watch from side to side for about 30 seconds to initiate the movement. Alternatively, you can manually wind the watch by rotating the crown clockwise while it is in its normal position (not pulled out). Wind approximately 20-30 times until you feel slight resistance. This will provide enough power reserve to start the watch.
Setting the Time
- Pull the crown out to the furthest position (Position 2).
- Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the hour and minute hands to the desired time.
- Push the crown back to its normal position (Position 0) to start the watch.
Setting the Date, Day, and Month
The watch features sub-dials for day, date, and month. These are typically adjusted using the small pushers on the side of the watch case. Refer to the diagram below for pusher locations.
- Date: Use the pusher located at the 2 o'clock position to advance the date.
- Day: Use the pusher located at the 4 o'clock position to advance the day of the week.
- Month: Use the pusher located at the 10 o'clock position to advance the month.
Important Caution: Avoid changing the date, day, or month manually between 9:00 PM and 3:00 AM. During this period, the watch's internal mechanism is engaged in the automatic date change process, and manual adjustment can cause permanent damage to the movement.
Operating Your Watch
Wearing the Watch
Ensure the watch is worn snugly but comfortably on your wrist. Consistent wear helps maintain the power reserve of the automatic movement. If the watch is not worn for an extended period (more than 2-3 days), it may stop and require re-setting the time and date.

Water Resistance
Your Kenneth Cole watch is water-resistant to 5 ATM (50 meters / 165 feet). This means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, but not for diving or snorkeling. Avoid operating the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise the water resistance.
- 5 ATM / 50 Meters: Suitable for everyday use and short periods of recreational swimming.
- Not suitable for: Showering, bathing, diving, snorkeling, or water sports.
Maintenance
Cleaning Your Watch
To maintain the appearance of your watch:
- Wipe the case and crystal with a soft, dry cloth.
- For the leather strap, avoid prolonged exposure to water, direct sunlight, and harsh chemicals. Clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry naturally.
- Do not use chemical cleaners or abrasive materials, as these can damage the watch's finish.
Storage
When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. The original packaging box can be used for safe storage.

Troubleshooting
- Watch not running or stopping frequently: As an automatic watch, it requires motion to power. Ensure you wear it regularly or manually wind it if it has been inactive for more than 2-3 days.
- Date/Day/Month not changing or stuck: Verify that you are not attempting to change these functions between 9:00 PM and 3:00 AM. If the issue persists outside this period, ensure the crown is fully pushed in after setting the time. If the problem continues, contact customer support.
- Inaccurate timekeeping: Automatic movements can have slight variations in accuracy. If the watch is consistently losing or gaining significant time, it may require professional adjustment.
