3. Setup

3.1 Unboxing and Initial Inspection

Upon receiving your watch, carefully remove it from its packaging. Inspect the watch for any visible damage. Ensure all protective films are removed from the crystal and case back.

3.2 Setting the Time

1. Pull the crown (B) out to position 2.
2. Rotate the crown to move the hour and minute hands clockwise until the correct time is displayed. Ensure AM/PM is correctly set if the watch has a 24-hour indicator.
3. Push the crown back into position 0 to start the watch.

3.3 Setting the Date

1. Pull the crown (B) out to position 1.
2. Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise (depending on the movement) until the correct date appears in the date window.
3. Push the crown back into position 0.

3.4 Setting Multifunction Dials (Day and Dual Time)

The FCN059C features sub-dials for the day of the week and dual time. These are typically adjusted using the pushers (A and C) located on either side of the crown, or by specific crown positions.

• Day of the Week: Often adjusted by repeatedly pressing a specific pusher (e.g., pusher A) until the correct day is displayed.
• Dual Time/24-Hour Sub-dial: This sub-dial usually synchronizes with the main time or can be set independently using a pusher (e.g., pusher C) or a specific crown position. Refer to the movement's specific instructions if detailed adjustment is required beyond the main time setting.

3.5 Band Adjustment

The metal band can be adjusted by adding or removing links to achieve a comfortable fit. This procedure often requires specialized tools and is best performed by a professional watchmaker or jeweler to avoid damaging the band.

4. Operating the Watch

4.1 Reading the Time and Date

The main hands indicate the hour, minute, and second. The date is displayed in the date window on the dial.

4.2 Using Multifunction Dials

• Day Sub-dial: Indicates the current day of the week (e.g., SA, SU, M, T, W, TH, F).
• Dual Time Sub-dial: Displays time in a 24-hour format or a second time zone, depending on the specific movement configuration.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning

To maintain the appearance of your watch, wipe the case and metal band regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used, followed by a dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

5.2 Water Resistance

Your watch has a water resistance rating of 30 meters (3 ATM). This means it is resistant to splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water. It is not suitable for swimming, showering, diving, or any activities involving prolonged water exposure or high-pressure water. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.

5.3 Battery Replacement

The watch is powered by a Lithium Ion battery. When the watch stops or the second hand begins to jump erratically (if applicable), the battery may need replacement. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and function.

5.4 Storage

When not in use, store your watch in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and strong magnetic fields. The original watch box is ideal for storage.

6. Troubleshooting

• Watch Not Running:
  Ensure the crown is fully pushed in. If the watch still does not run, the battery may need replacement.
• Incorrect Time/Date:
  Refer to Section 3.2 and 3.3 to reset the time and date.
• Condensation Inside Crystal:
  If condensation appears under the crystal, it indicates moisture has entered the watch. This requires immediate professional service to prevent damage to the movement.
• Hands Not Moving Smoothly:
  This could indicate a low battery or a mechanical issue. Consult a professional watch repair service.
