GUESS Gold-Tone Analog Watch GW0265G1 User Manual

Introduction

This manual provides instructions for the proper setup, operation, and maintenance of your GUESS Gold-Tone Analog Watch, model GW0265G1. This timepiece features a polished gold-tone finish, a textured bezel, and an analog dial with day and date functions, complemented by a link bracelet.

Setup

1. Setting the Time

1. Pull the crown (the knob on the side of the watch) out to the furthest position (position 2).
2. Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to move the hour and minute hands to the desired time. Ensure the AM/PM is correctly set if your watch has a 24-hour indicator or if setting the date.
3. Push the crown back into its normal operating position (position 0) to start the watch.

2. Setting the Day and Date

1. Pull the crown out to the first position (position 1).
2. Rotate the crown counter-clockwise to adjust the day of the week.
3. Rotate the crown clockwise to adjust the date.
4. Once the day and date are set, push the crown back into its normal operating position (position 0).

Note: Avoid setting the date between 9:00 PM and 3:00 AM, as this may interfere with the automatic date change mechanism and potentially damage the movement. If you need to set the date during this period, first set the time outside this window, adjust the date, then reset the time.

3. Bracelet Adjustment

The watch features a link bracelet. For proper fit, links may need to be added or removed. This procedure typically requires specialized tools and should ideally be performed by a qualified jeweler or watch technician to prevent damage to the bracelet or clasp.

Operating the Watch

Once the time, day, and date are set, the watch will operate continuously as long as the battery provides power. The analog display shows hours, minutes, and seconds. The day of the week is displayed at the 12 o'clock position, and the date is displayed at the 3 o'clock position with a bubble magnifier for enhanced readability.

Maintenance

Water Resistance

This watch is water resistant to 50 meters (165 feet). This rating means the watch is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming. It is not suitable for diving, snorkeling, or high-impact water sports. Avoid operating the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged to prevent water ingress.

Cleaning

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

Battery Replacement

The watch is powered by one Lithium Metal battery. When the watch stops running, the battery needs to be replaced. 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. Keeping it in its original box or a watch case can help protect it from dust and scratches.

Troubleshooting

• Watch Not Running: Check if the crown is fully pushed in (position 0). If it is, the battery may need replacement.
• Incorrect Time/Date: Refer to the "Setting the Time" and "Setting the Day and Date" sections. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in after setting.
• Slow Day/Date Transition: The day and date mechanisms typically transition over several hours, usually starting around 11 PM for the date and midnight for the day, completing by 3 AM. This is normal operation for many analog movements.
• Condensation Inside Crystal: If condensation appears under the crystal, it may indicate a loss of water resistance. Have the watch inspected by a professional immediately to prevent further damage to the movement.
