Setup
1. Initial Inspection
Upon unboxing, inspect the watch for any visible damage. Ensure all protective films are removed from the crystal and case back.
2. Setting the Time
- Pull the crown out to position 2 (the outermost position). The second hand will stop.
- Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the hour and minute hands to the desired time. Pay attention to the 24-hour cycle if your watch has a date function, as the date changes around midnight.
- Once the time is set, push the crown back into position 0 (normal operating position). The second hand will resume movement.

3. Setting the Date
- Pull the crown out to position 1 (the first click).
- Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the date. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can interfere with the date change mechanism.
- Once the date is set, push the crown back into position 0.
4. Bracelet Adjustment
The stainless steel bracelet may require adjustment for a comfortable fit. It is recommended to have this procedure performed by a qualified jeweler or watch technician to avoid damage to the bracelet or watch case.
Operating the Watch
1. Basic Timekeeping
Your watch displays the current time with hour, minute, and second hands. The quartz movement ensures accurate timekeeping.
2. Using the Chronograph (Stopwatch)
The chronograph function allows you to measure elapsed time.
- Start: Press pusher A (top pusher) to start the chronograph. The chronograph second hand and sub-dials will begin to move.
- Stop: Press pusher A again to stop the chronograph. The elapsed time will be indicated by the chronograph hands.
- Reset: After stopping, press pusher B (bottom pusher) to reset the chronograph hands to their zero positions.
- Split Time: Some chronographs allow for split-time measurement. Consult a specialized watch guide if this feature is desired and not explicitly covered here.
3. Water Resistance (50 Meters / 5 ATM)
Your BOSS watch is water resistant up to 50 meters (5 ATM). This means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, showering, or washing hands. It is not suitable for diving, snorkeling, or prolonged water activities. Always 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.
Maintenance and Care
1. Cleaning Your Watch
Wipe the watch case and bracelet regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. For stainless steel bracelets, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
2. Battery Replacement
Your quartz watch is powered by a battery. When the battery runs low, the second hand may start to move in two-second intervals (End-of-Life indicator). Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.

3. Storage
When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and strong magnetic fields. The original watch case is ideal for storage.
4. Avoiding Shocks and Chemicals
Avoid exposing your watch to strong impacts or vibrations. Keep it away from solvents, detergents, perfumes, and cosmetics, as these can damage the case, gasket, or bracelet materials.
