Operating
Your Skagen Freja watch is designed for straightforward timekeeping. Once the time is set, the quartz movement ensures accurate display of the current hour and minute via the two-hand analog display.
No additional complex operations are required for daily use beyond setting the time as needed (e.g., for daylight saving changes or after battery replacement).
Maintenance
Cleaning Your Watch
- To clean the watch case and crystal, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- For the leather strap, wipe gently with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid prolonged exposure to water or direct sunlight to prevent damage and discoloration.
Water Resistance
This watch is water resistant up to 3 ATM (30 meters / 165 feet). This means it is suitable for everyday use and can withstand splashes or brief immersion in water, such as washing hands or light rain. It is not suitable for showering, bathing, swimming, snorkeling, or diving.
Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in to maintain water resistance.
Troubleshooting
Watch Not Running
- Check the Crown: Ensure the crown is fully pushed in. If it is pulled out, the watch will not run.
- Battery: If the watch stops running, the battery may need replacement. Quartz watches typically require battery replacement every 2-3 years. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a professional watch repair service to maintain water resistance.
Inaccurate Time
- Reset Time: Follow the "Setting the Time" instructions to reset the time.
- Battery: A low battery can sometimes cause the watch to run slowly or erratically. Consider battery replacement.
- Magnetic Fields: Strong magnetic fields can affect quartz watch accuracy. Keep your watch away from strong magnets.
