Initial Setup
1. Unpacking and Inspection
Carefully remove the watch from its packaging. Inspect the watch for any visible damage or defects. Ensure all accessories listed in the "Accessories" section are present.
2. Winding the Watch
Your BENYAR BY-5177 is an automatic mechanical watch. It is powered by the motion of your wrist. If the watch has stopped or is running low on power, it needs to be manually wound to initiate operation.
- Ensure the crown is in its fully pushed-in position (Position 0).
- Rotate the crown clockwise approximately 30-40 times. You will feel a slight resistance as the mainspring winds. Do not overwind.
- Once wound, the watch should start ticking.
3. Setting the Time
- Pull the crown out to Position 1 (first click).
- Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the desired time.
- Once the time is set, push the crown back into Position 0.

Operating Your Watch
Automatic Movement
The G2666Z automatic movement in your BENYAR watch is self-winding. It gains power from the natural motion of your arm while wearing the watch. If worn daily for at least 8-10 hours, it should maintain sufficient power reserve. If the watch is not worn for an extended period (e.g., 24-48 hours), it may stop and require manual winding as described in the "Initial Setup" section.

Water Resistance (10ATM / 100 meters)
Your watch is water-resistant up to 10 ATM (100 meters or 330 feet). This means it is suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and recreational diving. However, it is not suitable for scuba diving or high-impact water sports. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.
- Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged.
- Avoid exposing the watch to hot water, steam, or sudden temperature changes, as this can compromise the water resistance seals.
- After exposure to saltwater, rinse the watch with fresh water and dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth.
Care and Maintenance
Cleaning
Regular cleaning will help maintain the appearance of your watch. Use the dedicated cleaner provided or a soft, damp cloth to wipe the case and bracelet. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush (like a toothbrush) can be used with mild soap and water, ensuring the crown is fully closed. Dry thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Storage
When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and strong magnetic fields. The original watch box is ideal for storage.
Avoidance
- Shocks: Avoid dropping your watch or subjecting it to strong impacts, as this can damage the delicate internal movement.
- Magnetic Fields: Keep your watch away from strong magnetic fields (e.g., speakers, refrigerators, MRI machines), as magnetism can affect the accuracy of mechanical movements.
- Chemicals: Avoid contact with solvents, detergents, perfumes, and cosmetics, as these can damage the case, strap, or seals.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Watch has stopped or is running slow. | Insufficient power reserve. | Manually wind the watch by rotating the crown clockwise 30-40 times. Wear the watch regularly for at least 8-10 hours a day. |
| Time is inaccurate. | Exposure to strong magnetic fields; watch needs regulation; low power reserve. | Demagnetize the watch (seek professional service if needed). Ensure the watch is fully wound. If issues persist, professional service may be required. |
| Condensation under the crystal. | Water ingress due to compromised seals or crown not fully pushed in. | Immediately take the watch to a qualified watchmaker for inspection and repair to prevent further damage. Avoid further contact with water. |
