Setup

1. Unboxing

Your GUESS W1156L1 watch comes packaged in a branded case. Carefully remove the watch and any protective films from the crystal, case back, and bracelet.

2. Setting the Time

1. Pull out the crown: Locate the crown on the right side of the watch case. Gently pull it out to the first or second click position (depending on the model's specific functions). For time setting, pull it out to the outermost position.
2. Adjust the time: Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to move the hour and minute hands to the correct time.
3. Push in the crown: Once the time is set, push the crown back into its normal operating position against the watch case. This will start the watch movement.

Operating the Watch

Time Reading

Your GUESS W1156L1 watch displays time using traditional hour, minute, and second hands on an analog dial. The sub-dials provide additional information, typically 24-hour format, day of the week, and date, depending on the specific movement configuration.

Water Resistance (5 ATM)

This watch has a water resistance rating of 5 ATM (50 meters). This means it is suitable for everyday use and can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water, such as washing hands. It is not suitable for swimming, showering, diving, or any water sports where it may be subjected to high-velocity water or prolonged immersion.

• Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged.
• Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.

Maintenance and Care

Cleaning Your Watch

To maintain the appearance of your watch, wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stainless steel, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry cloth. Avoid using chemical cleaners, solvents, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the finish.

Battery Replacement

Your watch is powered by a Lithium Metal battery. When the watch stops or the second hand begins to skip, it indicates that the battery needs replacement. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure the watch's water resistance is maintained and to prevent damage to the movement.

General Care Tips

• Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures (hot or cold) or sudden temperature changes.
• Keep your watch away from strong magnetic fields, as these can affect the accuracy of the quartz movement.
• Protect your watch from impacts and drops.
• If the watch comes into contact with saltwater, rinse it gently with fresh water and dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth.

Troubleshooting

Watch Not Running

• Check the crown: Ensure the crown is fully pushed in against the watch case. If it is pulled out, the watch will not run.
• Battery: If the watch has stopped completely, the battery may need to be replaced. Consult a professional watch technician.

Incorrect Time Display

• Reset the time: Follow the 'Setting the Time' instructions in the Setup section to adjust the time.
• Magnetic interference: If the watch is consistently running fast or slow, it may have been exposed to a strong magnetic field. A professional watch technician can demagnetize the movement.

Condensation Inside the Watch

If you notice condensation (fogging) under the crystal, it indicates that moisture has entered the watch. This requires immediate attention from a professional watch technician to prevent further damage to the movement.
