Setup
Unpacking and Inspection:
- Carefully remove the watch from its packaging.
- Inspect the watch for any signs of damage during transit.
- Ensure all protective films are removed from the crystal and case back.
Setting the Time:
The watch features a crown on the right side of the case for time adjustment.
- Pull the crown out to the furthest position (position 2). The second hand will stop.
- Rotate the crown to set the hour and minute hands to the correct time.
- Push the crown back into its normal position (position 0) to start the watch.
Setting the Date and Multifunction Dials:
The Fenmore BQ2408 is a multifunction watch, typically featuring subdials for day of the week, date, and 24-hour time. Specific instructions for setting these may vary slightly, but generally involve the crown and/or pushers.
- Date Setting: Pull the crown out to the first position (position 1). Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to adjust the date. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the movement.
- Day Setting: Often adjusted by rotating the crown in position 1 in the opposite direction of date setting, or by using a dedicated pusher.
- 24-Hour Subdial: This subdial typically synchronizes with the main hour hand and does not require separate adjustment.
- Once set, push the crown back to position 0.
Note: Refer to the specific movement diagram if available for precise pusher functions.
Operating Your Watch
Wearing the Watch:
Adjust the stainless steel bracelet to fit comfortably on your wrist. The buckle clasp ensures secure fastening.
Water Resistance:
Your watch is water resistant up to 5 ATM (50 meters). This means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, showering, or washing hands. It is not suitable for diving, snorkeling, or high-impact water sports. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.
Important: Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged.
Maintenance
Cleaning:
- Wipe the watch case and crystal with a soft, dry cloth regularly to remove dust and fingerprints.
- For the stainless steel bracelet, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap if necessary, then dry thoroughly.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the watch's finish.
Battery Replacement:
The watch is powered by one nonstandard battery. When the battery runs low, the second hand may start to skip seconds or stop entirely. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.
Storage:
When not in use, store your watch in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid storing it near magnetic fields, as this can affect the quartz movement's accuracy.
