Operating Instructions
Chronograph Function (Stopwatch)
The SKMEI 9108 features a chronograph function with three sub-dials:
- 1/10 Second Sub-dial: Measures fractions of a second.
- Minute Sub-dial: Measures elapsed minutes.
- Second Sub-dial: Measures elapsed seconds.
- Start: Press the top push-button (stopwatch button) to start the chronograph. The sub-dials will begin to move.
- Stop: Press the top push-button again to stop the chronograph. The elapsed time will be displayed on the sub-dials.
- Reset: Press the bottom push-button (reset button) to reset the chronograph hands to their zero positions. Ensure the chronograph is stopped before resetting.
Adjusting Chronograph Hands (if misaligned)
If the chronograph hands do not return to the zero position after resetting, they may need calibration:
- Pull the crown out to the second position.
- Press the top push-button repeatedly to advance the 1/10 second sub-dial hand until it points to the 12 o'clock (zero) position.
- Press the bottom push-button repeatedly to advance the minute and second sub-dial hands until they point to the 12 o'clock (zero) position.
- Once all chronograph hands are aligned to zero, push the crown back into the closed position.
Maintenance
Water Resistance
Image Description: An image highlighting the 50-meter water resistance feature of the SKMEI watch, showing the watch in a water-related setting. It indicates that the watch is suitable for daily use and can withstand splashes or brief immersion.
This watch is rated for 30 meters (3 ATM) water resistance. This means it is suitable for daily use, such as splashes, rain, or brief immersion in water. It is not suitable for swimming, diving, or showering with hot water.
- Do not operate the crown or push-buttons when the watch is wet or submerged in water.
- Ensure the crown is fully pushed in to maintain water resistance.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature changes, which can compromise seals.
Cleaning
- Wipe the watch case and band with a soft, dry cloth regularly to remove dirt and sweat.
- For stainless steel bands, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying.
- Avoid using chemical cleaners, solvents, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the watch's finish.
Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by a quartz movement, which requires a battery. When the watch stops or the second hand moves erratically, it indicates a low battery. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and function.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Watch has stopped or runs intermittently. | Low battery. | Replace the battery by a professional watch technician. |
