Setup and Initial Configuration
Your ICE Digit Retro Sunset watch comes with a pre-installed battery. Before first use, you may need to remove a plastic tab from the crown or button area if present, which prevents battery drain during shipping. The watch features four primary buttons for navigation and setting:
- RESET: Used for resetting values or navigating backward in menus.
- ST/STP (Start/Stop): Used for starting/stopping functions like the chronograph or confirming settings.
- MODE: Used to cycle through different watch modes (Time, Alarm, Chronograph, Dual Time).
- LIGHT: Activates the backlight for visibility in low-light conditions.
Setting Time and Date
- From the normal time display, press the MODE button repeatedly until the time setting mode is displayed (often indicated by flashing digits).
- Use the RESET button to select the digit you wish to adjust (e.g., hours, minutes, year, month, day).
- Use the ST/STP button to increase the selected value. Hold ST/STP to rapidly advance.
- Once all settings are correct, press the MODE button to exit the setting mode and return to the normal time display.
Setting the Alarm
- From the normal time display, press the MODE button until the alarm mode is displayed (usually indicated by "AL" or an alarm icon).
- Press the RESET button to select the hour or minute digits.
- Use the ST/STP button to adjust the hour or minute.

Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: Wipe the watch case and strap regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For silicone straps, a damp cloth with mild soap can be used, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
- Avoid Chemicals: Do not expose the watch to solvents, detergents, perfumes, or cosmetic sprays, as these can damage the case, strap, or internal components.
- Temperature Extremes: Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures (hot or cold) or sudden temperature changes, which can affect accuracy and battery life.
- Battery Replacement: The watch uses 1 LR44 battery. When the display dims or functions become erratic, it may be time for a battery replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
