Setup Instructions
1. Setting the Time
- Pull out the Crown: Locate the crown on the right side of the watch case. Gently pull it outwards to the first position.
- Adjust the Time: Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to move the hour and minute hands to the desired time.
- Push in the Crown: Once the correct time is set, push the crown firmly back into its original position. This will activate the watch movement.
2. Adjusting the Watch Band
The stainless steel band can be adjusted by removing links to achieve a comfortable fit. A band adjustment tool is provided with your watch for this purpose.
- Identify Pins: Examine the underside of the watch band links to find the small pins. Some links may have arrows indicating the direction to push the pin out.
- Position the Band: Place the watch band into the adjustment tool, ensuring the pin is aligned with the tool's pusher.
- Remove Pins: Slowly turn the screw on the adjustment tool to push the pin out. Remove the desired number of links.
- Reassemble: After removing links, realign the remaining links and insert the pins back in the opposite direction of removal. Gently tap the pins until they are flush with the band.
Caution: The included band adjustment tool can be delicate. If you encounter difficulty or if the tool breaks, it is recommended to seek assistance from a professional jeweler or watch repair service to avoid damaging the watch band or the tool.
Operating Instructions
Once the time is set according to the "Setting the Time" instructions, your SKMEI L1620 watch will continuously display the current time. No further regular adjustments are typically required under normal operating conditions, except for occasional time corrections or after a battery replacement.
Maintenance
Water Resistance (30M / 3ATM)
Your watch is water-resistant to 30 meters (3ATM). This rating indicates suitability for:
- Washing hands
- Exposure to rain
- Accidental splashes
- Sweating
Important: This watch is NOT designed for swimming, diving, showering, or bathing. To prevent water damage, do not press any buttons or pull the crown while the watch is wet or submerged in water, as this can compromise the water resistance seals.

Cleaning
To maintain the aesthetic appeal of your watch:
- Regularly wipe the watch case and band with a soft, dry cloth.
- For light dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying with a soft, dry cloth.
- Avoid using chemical cleaners, solvents, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the watch's finish and seals.
Battery Replacement
The quartz movement of your watch is powered by a battery, typically type SR626SW. If the watch stops running or exhibits inconsistent timekeeping, the battery may need to be replaced. It is strongly recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure the water resistance seal is properly re-established after the case back is opened.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Watch is not running or stops intermittently. | Depleted battery. | Replace the battery (SR626SW). Professional replacement is recommended. |
| Time is inaccurate. | Incorrect time setting; low battery; exposure to strong magnetic fields. | Reset the time. If the issue persists, consider battery replacement. Keep the watch away from strong magnetic sources. |
| Moisture or fogging visible under the crystal. | Water resistance compromised due to improper use (e.g., crown pulled or buttons pressed underwater) or degraded seals. | Immediately take the watch to a professional watch repair service. Do not attempt to dry it yourself, as this can cause further damage. |
| Difficulty adjusting the band with the provided tool. | Tool misuse, incorrect technique, or the tool's delicate nature. | Seek assistance from a professional jeweler or watch repair shop for safe and proper band adjustment. |
