The watch operates continuously once the time is set and the crown is pushed in. The quartz movement ensures accurate timekeeping.
3.2 Using the Chronograph (Stopwatch)
- Start: Press button A (top pusher) to start the chronograph. The chronograph second hand will begin to move.
- Stop: Press button A again to stop the chronograph. The elapsed time will be indicated by the chronograph hands.
- Reset: After stopping the chronograph, press button B (bottom pusher) to reset all chronograph hands to their zero positions.
- Split Time (if applicable): Some chronographs allow for split time measurement. Consult specific movement instructions if this feature is desired.
3.3 Water Resistance
This watch is water resistant up to 100 meters (10 ATM). This means it is suitable for swimming, showering, and snorkeling. It is not suitable for high-impact water sports or diving requiring helium gas. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water. Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged.
4. Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning
To maintain the appearance of your watch, wipe the case and strap regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For resin components, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by drying. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
4.2 Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by 1 Lithium Metal battery. When the watch stops or the second hand begins to jump erratically (indicating low battery), the battery needs to be replaced. It is recommended to have battery replacement performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and water resistance integrity.
5. Troubleshooting
5.1 Watch Not Running
- Check if the crown is fully pushed into position 1.
- The battery may be depleted. Refer to section 4.2 for battery replacement.
5.2 Chronograph Hands Not Resetting to Zero
- Perform the chronograph hand zero position adjustment as described in section 2.3.
5.3 Water Inside the Watch
- If condensation or water appears inside the watch, immediately take it to a qualified watch technician. This indicates a breach in water resistance.
