5. Chronograph Minutes Sub-dial: Measures elapsed minutes (typically up to 30 or 60 minutes).
6. Chronograph Seconds Sub-dial: Measures elapsed seconds (the main large second hand is usually for chronograph seconds).

3. Initial Setup and Adjustments

3.1 Setting the Time

1. Pull the crown (B) out to the second click position.

3. Once the time is set, push the crown back into its normal position.

3.2 Setting the Date

2. Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise (depending on the movement) to adjust the date in the calendar window.
3. Avoid setting the date between 9:00 PM and 3:00 AM, as this may interfere with the automatic date change mechanism.
4. Once the date is set, push the crown back into its normal position.

4. Operating the Chronograph Function

Your LIGE watch features a chronograph (stopwatch) function for measuring elapsed time.

1. To Start: Press the top pusher (A) once to start the chronograph. The large second hand and the chronograph sub-dials will begin to move.
2. To Stop: Press the top pusher (A) again to stop the chronograph. The elapsed time will be indicated by the chronograph second hand and the minute sub-dial.
3. To Reset: After stopping the chronograph, press the bottom pusher (C) to reset all chronograph hands back to their zero positions.

5. Care and Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning Your Watch

Wipe the watch case and crystal regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For the leather strap, avoid excessive moisture and harsh chemicals. If the watch is exposed to saltwater, rinse it gently with fresh water and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth (ensure the crown is pushed in completely before rinsing).

5.2 Water Resistance

Your LIGE LG9866J watch is rated for 3 ATM (30 meters) water resistance. This means it is suitable for daily use, such as accidental splashes, rain, and hand washing. It is not suitable for showering, bathing, swimming, diving, or any water sports. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in to maintain water resistance.

5.3 Battery Replacement

The watch is powered by a quartz movement and requires one LR44 battery. When the watch stops or the second hand starts to skip, it indicates a low battery. Battery replacement should ideally be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.

5.4 Leather Strap Care

Leather straps can be affected by sweat, moisture, and direct sunlight. To prolong the life of your leather strap, avoid prolonged exposure to water, direct sunlight, and harsh chemicals. Clean with a soft, damp cloth and allow it to air dry naturally.
