4. Setup and Initial Use

Your GLENAW Automatic Watch does not require a battery. It is powered by the motion of your wrist. For initial use or if the watch has stopped, manual winding is necessary.

1. Manual Winding: To start the watch, gently screw the crown upwards (clockwise) for 20-30 turns. This provides the initial power reserve.
2. Wearing the Watch: Once wound, wear the watch regularly. Your daily movements will keep the automatic movement powered. If the watch is not worn for an extended period, it may stop and require manual winding again.
3. Power Reserve: For consistent operation, especially if you are not very active, it is recommended to manually wind the watch once a day.

5. Operating Instructions

The GLENAW Automatic Watch Model 8993 allows for adjustment of time, day, date, month, and year using the crown and dedicated buttons.

5.1. Adjusting Time

1. Pull out the crown to the first position (position 2 in Image 5.1).
2. Rotate the crown to set the hour and minute hands to the correct time.
3. Push the crown back in to its original position to secure the time setting.

5.2. Adjusting Date, Month, Year, and Week

The watch features separate buttons for adjusting calendar functions:

• Adjust Month Button (1 in Image 5.1): Use a small, pointed tool (e.g., a toothpick or watch tool) to gently press this button to advance the month display.
• Adjust Date Button (3 in Image 5.1): Use a small, pointed tool to gently press this button to advance the date display.
• Year Adjustment Invisible Button (4 in Image 5.1): This button is typically recessed. Use a small, pointed tool to gently press it to advance the year display.
• Weekly Adjustment Invisible Button (5 in Image 5.1): This button is also recessed. Use a small, pointed tool to gently press it to advance the day of the week display.

Important Note: Avoid adjusting the date or day of the week between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the movement. If adjustment is needed during this period, first set the time outside this range, adjust the calendar, then reset the time.

6. Water Resistance Guidelines

Your GLENAW Automatic Watch Model 8993 has a water resistance rating of 3ATM (30 meters).

• Suitable For: This rating means the watch can withstand daily splashing, hand washing, and light rain.
• Not Suitable For: It is not suitable for showering, bathing, swimming, diving, or any activities involving prolonged water immersion or exposure to hot water/steam. Exposure to hot water can compromise the watch's seals.

Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.

7. Maintenance

Proper care will help maintain the appearance and functionality of your GLENAW watch.

• Cleaning: Wipe the watch case and strap with a soft, dry cloth regularly to remove dust and dirt. For stainless steel, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying.
• Avoid Chemicals: Do not expose the watch to harsh chemicals, solvents, or detergents, as these can damage the case, strap, or seals.
• Temperature Extremes: Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures (hot or cold) or sudden temperature changes, which can affect the movement and water resistance.
• Magnetic Fields: Keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields (e.g., speakers, refrigerators, certain electronic devices), as magnetism can affect the accuracy of mechanical movements.
• Servicing: Mechanical watches benefit from periodic servicing (typically every 3-5 years) by a qualified watchmaker to ensure optimal performance and lubrication of the movement.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your watch, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Watch Stops Running:
  • Cause: Insufficient power reserve. Automatic watches require motion to wind.
  • Solution: Manually wind the watch by turning the crown upwards (clockwise) 20-30 times. Wear the watch regularly to keep it powered.
• Inaccurate Timekeeping:
  • Cause: Low power reserve, exposure to magnetic fields, or need for servicing.
  • Solution: Ensure the watch is fully wound. Keep it away from strong magnets. If the issue persists, professional servicing may be required. Note that mechanical watches typically have an accuracy tolerance of 30-60 seconds per day, which is within international standards.
• Date/Day Not Changing:
  • Cause: Incorrect adjustment time (between 9 PM and 3 AM) or low power.
  • Solution: Avoid adjusting calendar functions during the restricted hours. Ensure the watch has sufficient power.
