Setup
Setting the Time
- Pull the crown (the knob on the side of the watch) out to the second click position.
- Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the hour and minute hands to the correct time. Ensure you differentiate between AM and PM if your watch has a 24-hour indicator or date change mechanism.
- Push the crown back in to the normal position to start the watch.
Setting the Date
- Pull the crown out to the first click position.
- Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise (depending on the movement) until the correct date appears in the date window. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can interfere with the automatic date change mechanism.
- Push the crown back in to the normal position.
Operating Instructions
Using the Chronograph (Stopwatch)
Your Michael Kors Dylan Chronograph Watch MK8303 is equipped with a stopwatch function for measuring elapsed time.
- Start: Press the upper pusher (button) to start the chronograph. The chronograph second hand will begin to move.
- Stop: Press the upper pusher again to stop the chronograph. The elapsed time will be indicated by the chronograph hands.
- Reset: Press the lower pusher to reset the chronograph hands to their zero position.
- Split Time (if applicable): Some chronographs allow for split time measurement. Consult the detailed movement guide if your specific model supports this.
Water Resistance
This watch is water resistant up to 100 meters (10 ATM). This means it is suitable for swimming and snorkeling, but not for diving. Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise the water resistance.
Maintenance
Cleaning Your Watch
To maintain the appearance of your watch, wipe the case and strap regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For the silicone strap, you may use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap and water, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by a quartz movement, which requires a battery. When the battery runs low, the second hand may start to skip or stop. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.
Storage
When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and strong magnetic fields.
Troubleshooting
- Watch Not Running: Check if the crown is pushed in completely. If it is, the battery may need replacement.
- Date Not Changing: Ensure the time is set correctly, especially distinguishing between AM and PM. If the date changes at noon, the watch is set 12 hours off. Adjust the time by 12 hours.
- Water Inside Watch: If you notice condensation or water inside the watch, immediately take it to a professional watch repair service. Do not attempt to open the watch yourself.
