3. Setup and Operation
3.1 Setting the Time
- Gently pull the crown (the small knob on the side of the watch case) outwards to the time-setting position.
- Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to adjust the hour and minute hands to the correct time.
- Once the time is set, push the crown back into its original position against the watch case. This will start the watch movement.
3.2 Strap Attachment and Replacement
Your Braun watch comes with quick-release spring bars, allowing for easy strap changes without special tools.
- To Remove a Strap: Locate the small lever on the underside of the strap where it connects to the watch case. Slide this lever inwards to compress the spring bar, then gently pull the strap away from the watch case. Repeat for the other side.
- To Attach a Strap: Insert one end of the spring bar into the corresponding lug hole on the watch case. Slide the quick-release lever inwards to compress the spring bar, align the other end with the opposite lug hole, and release the lever. Ensure both ends of the spring bar are securely seated in the lug holes by gently tugging on the strap.

4. Maintenance
4.1 Water Resistance
Your watch has a water resistance rating of 3ATM (30 meters). 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 swimming, showering, or diving.
4.2 Cleaning
To clean your watch, wipe the case and strap with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the finish. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before cleaning to maintain water resistance.
4.3 Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by a quartz movement and requires a product-specific battery (included). When the watch stops functioning, it indicates the battery needs replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.
5. Troubleshooting
5.1 Watch Not Functioning
- Ensure the crown is fully pushed in against the watch case. If it is pulled out, the watch will not operate.
- If the watch still does not function, the battery may need to be replaced. Refer to section 4.3 for battery replacement information.
