Introduction

This manual provides essential instructions for the setup, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of your NIXON Frankie A1441 analog watch. Please read this manual thoroughly to ensure proper use and care of your timepiece.

Getting Started

Setting the Time

Your NIXON Frankie watch is equipped with a Japanese quartz 3-hand movement. To set the time:

1. Gently pull the crown (the small knob on the side of the watch case) outwards to the time-setting position.
2. Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to move the hour and minute hands to the correct time.
3. Once the time is set, push the crown back into its original position against the watch case. This will start the watch movement.

Adjusting the Bracelet

The NIXON Frankie features a 3-link stainless steel bracelet with a butterfly clasp. For optimal comfort, the bracelet may need to be adjusted to fit your wrist. This typically involves adding or removing links.

• Link Removal/Addition: Bracelet adjustment requires specialized tools and expertise. It is recommended to take your watch to a qualified jeweler or watch repair professional for proper sizing.
• Clasp Operation: The butterfly clasp opens by pressing the two release buttons on the sides of the clasp simultaneously. To close, simply press the two halves of the clasp together until they click securely.

Operation

Water Resistance

Your NIXON Frankie watch is rated for 100 meters (10 ATM) water resistance. This means it is suitable for showering, swimming, and snorkeling. It is not designed for high-impact water sports or scuba diving.

• Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.
• Do not operate the crown while the watch is wet or submerged.
• Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature changes (e.g., hot shower immediately followed by cold water), as this can compromise seals.

Timekeeping

The watch is powered by a reliable Japanese quartz movement, providing accurate timekeeping. It features a 3-hand display (hour, minute, second) for clear readability.

Care and Maintenance

Cleaning Your Watch

To maintain the appearance of your watch:

• Wipe the watch case and bracelet with a soft, dry cloth regularly.
• For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the finish.

Battery Replacement

The watch is powered by a battery. When the watch stops running, it indicates the battery needs replacement. It is highly recommended to have the battery replaced by a professional watchmaker to ensure the water resistance seal is properly maintained.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

• Watch Not Running:
  • Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If it is pulled out, the watch will not run.
  • The battery may be depleted. Refer to the 'Battery Replacement' section.
• Water Condensation Inside Crystal:
  • Small amounts of condensation may appear temporarily due to sudden temperature changes but should dissipate quickly.
  • If heavy condensation persists or water droplets are visible, the watch's water resistance may be compromised. Seek professional service immediately to prevent further damage.
