Setup Instructions

Setting Time and Date:

1. Pull the Crown: Gently pull the crown (located on the right side of the watch case) out to position 2 for date adjustment, or position 3 for time adjustment.
2. Adjust Date: In position 2, rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the desired date.
3. Adjust Time: In position 3, rotate the crown to move the hour and minute hands. Ensure the 24-hour subdial (if applicable) is correctly synchronized for AM/PM.
4. Push the Crown Back: Once the time and date are set, push the crown back firmly into position 1 (normal operating position) to engage the movement and ensure water resistance.

Battery:

Your watch comes with a pre-installed SR936SW battery. If the watch stops running, it may require a battery replacement. It is recommended to have battery replacement performed by a qualified watch technician to maintain water resistance and prevent damage.

Operating Instructions

Using the Chronograph:

The chronograph function allows for precise measurement of elapsed time using the subdials.

1. Start: Press the upper pusher (button) to start the chronograph. The 60-second subdial hand will begin to move.
2. Stop: Press the upper pusher again to stop the chronograph. The elapsed time will be indicated by the 60-second, 60-minute, and 24-hour subdials.
3. Reset: With the chronograph stopped, press the lower pusher to reset all chronograph hands to zero.

Using the Uni-directional Bezel:

The uni-directional rotating bezel can be used to track elapsed time, such as dive times or parking meters.

1. Rotate the bezel so that the zero marker aligns with the minute hand at the start of an event.
2. As time passes, the minute hand will indicate the elapsed time against the bezel's scale.

Maintenance

Cleaning:

• Regularly wipe your watch with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt.
• For the silicone band, you can use a mild soap and water solution, then rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the watch's finish or crystal.

Water Resistance Care:

• Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before exposing the watch to water.
• Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged.
• After exposure to saltwater, rinse the watch with fresh water and dry it thoroughly.

Storage:

When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. The original watch box is ideal for storage.

Troubleshooting

• Watch Not Running: Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If it is, the battery may need replacement.
• Incorrect Time/Date: Refer to the "Setting Time and Date" section to re-adjust.
• Chronograph Not Resetting to Zero: This may indicate a need for calibration or service.
• Condensation Under Crystal: This suggests a loss of water resistance. Avoid further water exposure and seek professional service immediately.
