2. Setup and Initial Use

2.1 Initial Winding

For the first use, or if the watch has stopped due to lack of movement, it needs to be manually wound. Rotate the crown clockwise approximately 20-30 times until the second hand begins to move consistently. This provides the initial power reserve.

2.2 Setting Time and Date

1. Manual Winding (Position 0): With the crown fully pushed in, rotate it clockwise to manually wind the watch.
2. Setting Date (Position 1): Gently pull the crown out to the first click. Rotate the crown to adjust the date. To prevent damage to the movement, avoid adjusting the date when the hour hand is between 6:00 PM and 9:00 PM.
3. Setting Time (Position 2): Pull the crown out to the second click. Rotate the crown to set the hour and minute hands. Once set, push the crown back in to Position 0.

3. Operating Your Watch

3.1 Automatic Movement

The FEICE FM201 is an automatic watch, meaning it is powered by the natural motion of your wrist. When worn regularly (approximately 8-10 hours a day), the watch will self-wind and maintain its power reserve. If the watch is not worn for an extended period, it may stop and require manual winding as described in Section 2.1.

3.2 Using the Deployment Clasp

The watch features a deployment clasp for secure and comfortable wear. To open the clasp, press the two release buttons located on either side of the buckle. To adjust the strap length, open the buckle to reveal the pin. Insert the pin into the appropriate hole on the strap for your wrist size, then close the clasp securely.

4. Care and Maintenance

4.1 Water Resistance

Your FEICE FM201 watch is water-resistant to 3ATM (30 meters). This means it can withstand splashes of water or brief exposure to rain. It is not suitable for bathing, showering, swimming, diving, or any activities involving prolonged water immersion or high-pressure water exposure. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.

4.2 Sapphire Crystal

The watch features a sapphire crystal, known for its exceptional scratch resistance. While highly durable, it is not entirely impervious to damage. Avoid extreme impacts or contact with abrasive materials.

4.3 General Care

• Clean the watch regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and smudges.
• Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, or strong magnetic fields.
• If the leather strap becomes wet, allow it to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.

5. Troubleshooting

Watch Stops or Runs Slowly

As an automatic watch, the FM201 relies on kinetic energy from your movement. If the watch stops or runs inaccurately, it likely needs more power. Manually wind the watch by rotating the crown clockwise (Position 0) about 20-30 times. Ensure you wear the watch for at least 8-10 hours daily for optimal performance.
