Setup

Setting the Time and Date

1. Pull the Crown: Gently pull the crown (the small knob on the side of the watch) out to the first or second position.
2. Set the Date (if applicable): If your watch has a date function, pull the crown to the first position and rotate it to adjust the date. Push the crown back in to return to the time setting position.
3. Set the Time: Pull the crown to the second position. Rotate the crown to move the hands clockwise or counter-clockwise until the desired time is displayed. Ensure you set the correct AM/PM for watches with a 24-hour cycle or date function.
4. Push the Crown In: Once the time and date are set, push the crown fully back into its original position to start the watch movement.

Adjusting the Strap

The natural leather strap is designed for comfort and adjustability. Locate the buckle and the series of holes on the strap. Insert the pin of the buckle into the hole that provides a snug yet comfortable fit around your wrist. The strap should not be too tight or too loose.

Operating Instructions

INDIGLO Night-Light

The INDIGLO night-light illuminates the entire watch dial for easy reading in the dark. To activate the INDIGLO night-light, simply press and hold the crown (the same knob used for setting the time). The light will remain on as long as the crown is pressed.

Water Resistance

This watch is water resistant to 30 meters (100 feet). This means it is suitable for splashes, rain, or brief immersion in water. It is not recommended for swimming, showering, or diving, as prolonged water exposure or high-pressure water activities can compromise the water resistance seals.

Maintenance

Battery Replacement

The watch is powered by 1 Lithium Metal battery (included). When the watch stops or the INDIGLO light dims significantly, the battery may need replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.

Cleaning Your Watch

To clean your watch, wipe the case and crystal with a soft, damp cloth. For the leather strap, avoid excessive moisture and harsh chemicals. If the strap becomes wet, allow it to air dry naturally. Regular cleaning helps maintain the watch's appearance.

Troubleshooting

• Watch Not Running: Ensure the crown is fully pushed in. If it is, the battery may need replacement.
• Date Not Changing: The date mechanism typically advances once every 24 hours. If the date is stuck, try manually advancing it using the crown's first position. If the issue persists, consult a watch technician.
• INDIGLO Not Working: Check if the crown is being pressed firmly. If it still doesn't light up, the battery may be low or depleted.
