Setup
Before wearing your watch, you may need to set the time and adjust the bracelet.
Setting the Time
- Pull the crown out to the first click position.
- Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the hour and minute hands to the correct time.
- Once the time is set, push the crown back into its normal position to start the watch.
Adjusting the Bracelet
The stainless steel bracelet may require adjustment to fit your wrist comfortably. This typically involves removing or adding links. It is recommended to have this procedure performed by a qualified jeweler or watch technician to prevent damage to the bracelet.
Operating
Your ALBA ARX029X watch is a quartz timepiece, providing accurate timekeeping with minimal intervention.
Timekeeping
Once the time is set, the watch will continuously display the current time. No further action is required for daily operation until a battery change is needed or if the time needs to be reset due to time zone changes.
Water Resistance
This watch is water resistant to 5 BAR (50 meters). This means it is suitable for everyday use and can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water. It is not suitable for swimming, diving, or showering with hot water, as steam and temperature changes can compromise the seals.
- Do not operate the crown while the watch is wet or submerged.
- Ensure the crown is fully pushed in after setting the time to maintain water resistance.
Maintenance
Proper maintenance will help preserve the appearance and functionality of your ALBA watch.
Cleaning the Watch
Wipe the watch case and bracelet periodically with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. For stainless steel, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by a product-specific battery. When the watch stops or the second hand begins to move erratically (indicating a low battery), it is time for a replacement. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure the correct battery type is used and the water resistance seal is properly re-installed.
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.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your watch, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Watch has stopped: This typically indicates that the battery needs to be replaced. Contact a professional watch technician for battery replacement.
- Time is incorrect: Ensure the crown is fully pushed in after setting the time. If the time continues to be inaccurate, the watch may require servicing.
- Condensation inside the crystal: This suggests a breach in the watch's water resistance. Avoid further contact with water and seek immediate professional service to prevent internal damage.
