Setup
1. Initial Activation
Your watch may arrive with a small plastic stopper under the crown (the knob on the side). This stopper prevents the battery from draining during storage.
- Gently pull out the plastic stopper from under the crown.
- Push the crown fully back into its normal operating position. The watch hands should begin to move.
2. Strap Adjustment
The silicone strap is designed for comfort and can be adjusted using the buckle closure.
- Place the watch on your wrist.
- Thread the end of the strap through the buckle.
- Insert the buckle pin into the desired hole on the strap for a comfortable and secure fit.

Operating Instructions
Your GUESS GW0334G1 watch features time, day, date, and 24-hour international time displays.

1. Setting the Time
- Pull the crown out to the second click position (farthest out). The second hand will stop.
- Turn the crown to move the hour and minute hands clockwise until the desired time is set. Ensure the AM/PM is correctly set if your watch has a 24-hour indicator or if setting the date.
- Push the crown back into the normal operating position.
2. Setting the Date and Day
The watch features sub-dials for day and date display.
- Pull the crown out to the first click position.
- Turn the crown clockwise to adjust the date.
- Turn the crown counter-clockwise to adjust the day of the week.
- Avoid setting the date or day between 9:00 PM and 3:00 AM, as this can interfere with the automatic date change mechanism. If you need to adjust during this period, first set the time outside this window, adjust the date/day, then reset the time.
- Push the crown back into the normal operating position.
3. 24-Hour International Time Display
The watch includes a sub-dial for 24-hour international time. This sub-dial typically synchronizes with the main time display and does not require separate adjustment. It serves as an AM/PM indicator for the main time.
Maintenance
1. Cleaning Your Watch
- Wipe the watch case and strap regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and perspiration.
- For silicone straps, a mild soap and water solution can be used with a soft brush, then rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the watch's finish or strap material.
2. Water Resistance
Your GUESS GW0334G1 watch is water resistant to 30 meters (100 feet). This means it is suitable for splashes or brief immersion in water.
- Do not operate the crown or pushers when the watch is wet or submerged in water.
- Not suitable for swimming, bathing, diving, or prolonged water activities.
- Exposure to hot water (e.g., showers, saunas) can compromise water resistance seals.
3. Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by one Lithium Metal battery. When the battery runs low, the watch may stop or the second hand may skip.
- Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.
- Do not attempt to replace the battery yourself, as this may damage the watch and void the warranty.
