Initial Setup
Setting Analog Time
- Pull the crown out to the first click position.
- Rotate the crown to set the hour and minute hands to the desired time.

- Press the MODE button repeatedly until the digital time display starts flashing (indicating setting mode).
- Use the ADJUST button to cycle through the settings (seconds, hour, minute, year, month, day).
- Use the START/STOP button to increase the flashing value. Hold it down to advance rapidly.
- Once all settings are correct, press the MODE button again to exit the setting mode.
Operating Instructions
Using Digital Modes
Press the MODE button to cycle through the different digital functions:
- Timekeeping Mode: Displays current digital time, day, and date.
- Alarm Mode: Set and activate daily alarms.
- In Alarm Mode, press ADJUST to select hour/minute.

Maintenance
Cleaning Your Watch
- Wipe the watch case and band regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt.
- For rubber bands, you can use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, then rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, which can damage the watch's finish.
Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by a quartz movement, which requires a battery. When the analog hands stop or the digital display becomes dim, it indicates a low battery. Battery life typically ranges from 1 to 3 years, depending on usage.
- Do not attempt to replace the battery yourself, as this may compromise the watch's water resistance and void the warranty.
- Take your watch to an authorized Marea service center or a reputable watch repair shop for battery replacement.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Analog hands not moving. | Low battery or crown is pulled out. | Push the crown back in. If still not moving, replace the battery at a service center. |
| Digital display is blank or dim. | Low battery. | Replace the battery at a service center. |
| Incorrect time/date on digital display. | Settings need adjustment. | Follow the "Setting Digital Time and Date" instructions in the Setup section. |
