Operating the Watch

Your Swatch YVS529 watch features a Swiss Quartz movement and a chronograph function.

1. Basic Timekeeping

The watch displays hours, minutes, and seconds. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in (position 1) for accurate timekeeping.

2. Chronograph Function

The chronograph allows you to measure elapsed time.

• To start the chronograph, press the upper pusher button. The chronograph second hand will begin to move.
• To stop the chronograph, press the upper pusher button again. The elapsed time will be displayed.
• To reset the chronograph to zero, press the lower pusher button.

3. Water Resistance

This watch is water resistant up to 50 meters (5 ATM). This means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, but not for diving or snorkeling. Avoid pressing buttons or operating the crown while the watch is wet or submerged to prevent water ingress.

2. Battery Replacement

Your watch is powered by a battery. When the battery runs low, the watch may stop or the second hand may skip. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by an authorized Swatch service center or a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.
