4. Setup and Integration
These watch faces are designed for easy integration into your crafting projects, such as bracelets, necklaces, or other decorative items.
4.1 Inspecting the Watch Face
Before integrating, carefully inspect each watch face for any visible damage. Ensure the hands are moving and the time can be set (refer to Section 5: Operating).
4.2 Attaching to Beading Projects
Each watch face is equipped with two loops, one on each side, to facilitate attachment. Use jump rings, wire, or thread appropriate for your beading material to connect the watch face to your design. Ensure connections are secure to prevent the watch face from detaching.
5. Operating the Watch Face
The watch faces are equipped with a standard quartz movement for accurate timekeeping.
5.1 Initial Activation
Some watch faces may have a small plastic stopper inserted under the crown (the knob on the side). Gently pull out this stopper to allow the watch to begin running. If no stopper is present, the watch should already be running.
5.2 Setting the Time
- Gently pull the crown outwards until you feel a click. The watch hands will stop moving.
- Rotate the crown in either direction to adjust the hour and minute hands to the correct time.
- Once the time is set, push the crown back into its original position. The watch hands will resume movement.

6. Maintenance
6.1 Battery Replacement
When the watch stops or the time becomes inaccurate, it may be time to replace the battery. The watch faces typically use a common watch battery type (e.g., SR626SW or similar, though the exact type is not specified and may vary). A small, flat-head screwdriver or a specialized watch case opener tool will be required.
- Carefully turn the watch face over to expose the stainless steel back.
- Locate the small notch or indentation on the edge of the case back.
- Gently pry open the case back using the appropriate tool. Exercise caution to avoid scratching the case or damaging the internal components.
- Remove the old battery, noting its orientation (positive (+) side up).
- Insert a new, identical battery with the positive (+) side facing up.
- Carefully press the case back firmly into place until it snaps shut, ensuring a tight seal.

6.2 Cleaning
To clean the watch face, gently wipe it with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, which can damage the finish or crystal.
6.3 Water Resistance
These watch faces are rated for 100 Meters Water Resistance. This typically means they are suitable for splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water. However, they are not recommended for swimming, diving, or prolonged exposure to water, as the seals may not withstand high pressure or extended submersion. Avoid operating the crown while the watch face is wet.
7. Troubleshooting
- Watch not running: Ensure the plastic stopper under the crown has been removed (if present) and the crown is fully pushed in. If it still doesn't run, the battery may need replacement.
- Time is inaccurate: This usually indicates a low battery. Replace the battery as described in Section 6.1.
- Condensation under the crystal: This suggests moisture has entered the watch. Avoid further water exposure and allow it to dry in a warm, dry place. If the issue persists, the seal may be compromised.
- Loops are damaged: If the attachment loops become damaged, they may be repairable by a jeweler or watch repair specialist. Handle with care during crafting.
