Setup and Initial Winding
Your TEINTOP automatic watch is powered by a self-winding mechanical movement. It does not require a battery. The watch is wound by the natural motion of your arm and wrist. If the watch has stopped or has not been worn for a day or two, it will require manual winding to restart and build up power reserve.
- Manual Winding: To initiate power, turn the crown clockwise 40-50 times. This will fully wind the mainspring and start the watch.
- Automatic Winding: Once started, wear the watch daily for approximately 8 to 12 hours. The rotor inside the watch will automatically wind the mainspring with your wrist movements, maintaining the power reserve.
- Setting the Time: Pull the crown out to the furthest position. Turn the crown to adjust the hour and minute hands. Push the crown back in to set the time.
Operating the Complications
This watch features several complications for enhanced functionality. Refer to the diagram below for button identification.

- Date, Day, Month, and Moon Phase: The watch provides indications for the date, day of the week, month, and a 24-hour moon phase. These are typically adjusted using small recessed pushers on the side of the watch case, often requiring a small tool (like a toothpick) to press.
- Adjusting Date: Locate the specific pusher for the date (usually near the 2 o'clock or 4 o'clock position). Press it repeatedly to advance the date.
- Adjusting Day/Month/Moon Phase: Similarly, use the corresponding pushers to adjust the day, month, and moon phase indicators. Consult the diagram for precise locations.
- Important Note: Avoid adjusting the date or day between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this is when the watch's internal mechanisms are engaged in changing the date, and manual adjustment during this period can damage the movement.

Maintenance and Care
- Water Resistance: This watch is water-resistant up to 30 meters (3 ATM). This means it can withstand splashes of water or brief immersion, such as during hand washing or rain. It is not suitable for swimming, showering with hot water, sauna, or diving. Avoid pressing buttons or pulling the crown while the watch is wet.
- Luminous Features: The hands and markers on your watch are luminous. They absorb light energy and glow in the dark, providing visibility in low-light conditions. For optimal glow, expose the watch to a light source for a period before entering a dark environment.
- Cleaning: Wipe the watch case and strap with a soft, dry cloth regularly to remove dirt and sweat. For leather straps, avoid excessive moisture.
- Storage: When not wearing the watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong magnetic fields.

Troubleshooting
If your automatic watch stops running, it is likely due to insufficient power reserve. Automatic watches rely on movement to stay wound.
- Watch Stops Running: If the watch stops, manually wind it by turning the crown clockwise 40-50 times. This will provide enough power to restart the movement.
- Insufficient Power Reserve: If you do not wear the watch for a day or two, or if your wrist movements are minimal, the watch may wind down. Supplementary winding by hand is recommended in such cases to ensure continuous operation.
- Other Issues: For any other issues not covered here, please contact customer support.
