GLENAW Square Retro Mechanical Watch Model 8885 User Manual

1. Initial Setup

1.1. Winding the Watch

The GLENAW Square Retro Mechanical Watch is an automatic self-winding timepiece. For its first use, or if the watch has stopped due to inactivity, it requires manual winding to initiate the movement. To manually wind the watch, rotate the crown (located on the right side of the watch case) clockwise approximately 30-40 times. This will build up sufficient power reserve for the watch to start running accurately.

1.2. Setting the Time and Date

To set the time and date:

1. Gently pull the crown out to the first position to adjust the date (if applicable). Rotate the crown to set the correct date.
2. Pull the crown out to the second position to adjust the time. Rotate the crown to move the hour and minute hands. Ensure the day/night indicator (sun phase window) is correctly aligned for AM/PM.
3. Once the time and date are set, push the crown back into its original position to secure the settings and allow the watch to run.

2. Operating Your Watch

2.1. Automatic Movement

Your GLENAW watch features an imported high-quality automatic mechanical movement. This means it does not require a battery. The movement is powered by the natural motion of your wrist. When worn regularly, the watch will self-wind and maintain its power reserve. If the watch is not worn for an extended period, it may stop and will need to be manually wound as described in Section 1.1.

2.2. Dial Features

The watch dial is designed with several functional and aesthetic elements:

• Skeleton Dial: The intricate skeleton design allows you to view the internal mechanical workings of the watch, showcasing the craftsmanship.
• Tourbillon: A visible tourbillon mechanism is integrated into the dial, contributing to the watch's precision and visual appeal.
• Sun Phase Window: This indicator displays the day and night cycle, often represented by a sun for day and a moon/stars for night.
• Luminous Display: The hour and minute hands feature a luminous coating, allowing for readability in low-light conditions.

3. Care and Maintenance

3.1. Water Resistance

Your GLENAW watch is water-resistant to 30 meters (100 feet). This rating means the watch can withstand splashing water or brief immersion in water. It is not suitable for bathing, showering, swimming, diving, or any activities involving prolonged water exposure or high-pressure water.

3.2. Cleaning

To maintain the appearance of your watch, wipe the case and strap with a soft, dry cloth. For the leather strap, avoid excessive moisture and harsh chemicals. For the stainless steel case, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry cloth.

3.3. Storage

When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and strong magnetic fields. Magnetic fields can affect the accuracy of mechanical movements.

4. Troubleshooting

4.1. Watch Not Running

• Check Winding: Ensure the watch has been sufficiently wound, either manually (30-40 turns of the crown) or by wearing it for several hours.
• Movement: If the watch has been dropped or subjected to a strong impact, the internal movement may be affected. Contact customer support if the issue persists after winding.

4.2. Time Inaccuracy

• Winding: An insufficiently wound automatic watch may run slow. Ensure it is fully wound.
• Magnetic Fields: Exposure to strong magnetic fields (e.g., from speakers, refrigerators, or certain electronic devices) can magnetize the watch's movement, leading to inaccuracy. If you suspect magnetization, a watchmaker can demagnetize it.
• Service: If the watch consistently runs too fast or too slow despite proper winding and avoiding magnetic fields, it may require professional servicing.
