2.2 Setting the Time and Date
- Pull out the crown: Gently pull the crown (the knob on the side of the watch) to position 2. This is typically the outermost position.
- Set the time: Rotate the crown to move the hour and minute hands clockwise until the desired time is displayed. Ensure you set the correct AM/PM for the date change mechanism.
- Set the date: Push the crown back to position 1 (middle position). Rotate the crown to adjust the date sub-dial.
- Set the day: Rotate the crown in the opposite direction (or continue rotating in the same direction if the date changes) to adjust the day sub-dial.
- Push in the crown: Once the time, date, and day are set, push the crown back into position 0 (normal operating position) to start the watch and ensure water resistance.
Note: Avoid setting the date or day between 9:00 PM and 3:00 AM, as this can interfere with the automatic date change mechanism and potentially damage the movement. If you need to adjust the date during this period, first set the time outside this window, adjust the date, and then reset the time.
3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Timekeeping
Your BOSS Quartz Multifunction Watch is powered by a precise quartz movement, ensuring accurate timekeeping. The main hands display hours, minutes, and seconds.
3.2 Dual Dial Functionality
The watch features two sub-dials:
- Day Sub-dial: Displays the current day of the week (e.g., MON, TUE, WED).
- Date Sub-dial: Displays the current date of the month (1-31).
These sub-dials are adjusted using the crown as described in Section 2.2.
3.3 Water Resistance (5 ATM / 50 Meters)
This watch is water-resistant up to 5 ATM (50 meters). This means it is suitable for everyday use and can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water, such as showering. It is not suitable for swimming, diving, or prolonged water activities. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.

4. Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance will preserve the appearance and functionality of your BOSS watch.
4.1 Cleaning Your Watch
- Case and Crystal: Wipe the watch case and mineral crystal with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying.
- Leather Strap: Avoid prolonged exposure of the leather strap to water, direct sunlight, and harsh chemicals. Clean with a soft, dry cloth. If it gets wet, allow it to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
4.2 Battery Replacement
The quartz movement is powered by a battery. When the watch stops or the second hand begins to jump erratically (indicating a low battery), it's time for a replacement. Battery replacement should always be performed by a qualified watchmaker or authorized service center to ensure the watch's water resistance is maintained and to prevent damage to the movement. Never attempt to open the watch yourself.
4.3 General Care and Service
- Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or sudden impacts.
- A maintenance interval of 3 to 5 years is recommended for your timepiece, in addition to any required battery replacement. This service should be performed by an authorized BOSS service center.
- Store your watch in a dry, safe place when not in use, preferably in its original box.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your watch, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Watch not running:
- Check if the crown is fully pushed in (position 0).
- The battery may be depleted. Refer to Section 4.2 for battery replacement.
- Incorrect time/date/day:
- Refer to Section 2.2 for instructions on how to correctly set the time, date, and day.
- Condensation under the crystal:
- This indicates moisture has entered the watch. Immediately take the watch to an authorized service center to prevent damage to the movement.
- Strap staining skin:
- Some leather straps may react with sweat or moisture, causing temporary skin discoloration. This is generally harmless but can be minimized by keeping the strap dry and clean. If persistent, consider replacing the strap.
For issues not covered here, or if troubleshooting steps do not resolve the problem, please contact an authorized BOSS service center.
