2. Setup

2.1 Initial Winding

Your FANMIS watch is an automatic mechanical timepiece, meaning it is powered by the natural motion of your wrist. However, for initial use or if the watch has stopped due to inactivity, it requires manual winding.

1. Ensure the crown (the knob on the side of the watch) is in its fully pushed-in position.
2. Gently turn the crown clockwise approximately 20-30 times. This will build up a sufficient power reserve to start the watch.
3. The watch should begin to operate.

2.2 Setting the Time

1. Pull the crown out to the first click position.
2. Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to adjust the hour and minute hands to the correct time.
3. Once the time is set, push the crown back into its original, fully pushed-in position to secure the setting and ensure water resistance.

3. Operating the Watch

3.1 Automatic Movement

The watch is powered by an automatic self-winding mechanical movement. This means that as you wear the watch and move your wrist, an internal rotor winds the mainspring, providing power to the watch. For optimal performance, wear the watch for at least 8 hours a day. If the watch is not worn for an extended period, it may stop and require manual winding as described in the Setup section.

3.2 Luminous Hands

The watch features luminous hands and markers. These elements absorb light during the day and emit a glow in darker conditions, allowing for time readability at night. The intensity and duration of the glow depend on the amount of light exposure.

4. Maintenance

4.1 Water Resistance

This watch is rated for 30 meters (3 ATM) water resistance, suitable for daily use such as splashes or brief immersion. It is not suitable for bathing, showering, swimming, diving, sauna, or any multi-water or high-temperature environments. Exposure to hot water or steam can cause the waterproof rubber seals to expand and contract, leading to voids and accelerated aging, which will compromise the watch's water resistance. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in to maintain water resistance.

4.2 Cleaning

To clean your watch, wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth. 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.

4.3 General Care

• Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures (hot or cold) or sudden temperature changes.
• Keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields, as these can affect the accuracy of the mechanical movement.
• Avoid strong impacts or drops.

5. Troubleshooting

• Watch has stopped or is running slow: This is typically due to insufficient power reserve. Manually wind the watch by turning the crown clockwise 20-30 times while it is in the fully pushed-in position. Ensure you wear the watch regularly for at least 8 hours a day to maintain its power reserve.
• Time is inaccurate: If the watch is consistently gaining or losing time, it might be magnetized. Keep the watch away from electronic devices, speakers, and other sources of strong magnetic fields. If the issue persists, professional servicing may be required.
• Condensation under the crystal: This indicates a breach in water resistance. Avoid further contact with water and seek professional inspection immediately to prevent damage to the movement.
