Initial Setup

Setting Analog Time

Care and Maintenance

Proper care will help maintain the appearance and functionality of your watch.

Water Resistance

Your Stauer Compendium Hybrid Watch is water-resistant up to 3 ATM (30 meters). This means it is suitable for daily use and can withstand splashes of water or brief immersion, such as during hand washing or rain exposure. It is not suitable for bathing, swimming, diving, or any water sports. Avoid pressing buttons while the watch is wet or submerged.

Cleaning

• Wipe the watch case and band regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt and oils.
• For the stainless steel band, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Battery Replacement

The watch is powered by a single battery. When the display dims or the watch stops functioning, it may be time for a battery replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your watch, try these common solutions:

• Watch not running or digital display is blank: Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If not, the battery may be depleted and needs replacement.
• Analog and digital times do not match: Re-set both the analog and digital times following the instructions in the 'Initial Setup' section.
• Buttons are unresponsive: Ensure the watch is dry. If the issue persists, a battery replacement might be necessary, or there could be an internal malfunction requiring professional service.
• Condensation under the crystal: This may indicate a breach in the water resistance. Avoid further water exposure and seek professional repair immediately.
