3. Setup

3.1 Initial Winding

As an automatic watch, the GLENAW Model 8970 is powered by the motion of your wrist. If the watch has stopped or has not been worn for an extended period, it may require manual winding to initiate operation. To manually wind, rotate the crown clockwise approximately 20-30 times until the second hand begins to move smoothly. The watch will then continue to wind itself with your daily activities.

3.2 Setting the Time

1. Gently pull the crown outwards to the second position.
2. Rotate the crown to adjust the hour and minute hands to the correct time.
3. Once the time is set, push the crown back into its original position.

3.3 Setting the Calendar Functions

The watch features a day-date calendar, month, and year display. These functions are adjusted using four hidden push buttons located on the side of the watch case. A small, pointed tool (such as a ballpoint pen or a safety pin) is required to press these recessed buttons.

• Adjust Date Button: Press the button to advance the date display.
• Year Adjustment Invisible Button: Press the recessed button to advance the year display.
• Weekly Adjustment Invisible Button: Press the recessed button to advance the day of the week display.

Note: Avoid adjusting the date or day between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can interfere with the automatic date change mechanism and potentially damage the movement.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Automatic Movement

Your GLENAW watch is equipped with an automatic mechanical movement. This means it does not require a battery. The movement is powered by the natural motion of your arm. When worn daily, the watch will remain wound. If the watch is not worn for approximately 36-48 hours, the power reserve will deplete, and the watch will stop. Simply manually wind it as described in Section 3.1 to restart.

4.2 Water Resistance

The watch is rated as 30 ATM (30 meters or 100 feet) waterproof. This means it is suitable for daily use, splash/rain resistant, and can withstand brief immersion in water. However, it is not suitable for swimming, diving, showering, or bathing. Do not operate the crown or push buttons when the watch is wet or submerged.

4.3 Luminous Hands

The hands of your watch are treated with a luminous material, allowing for readability in low-light conditions. Exposure to light will charge the luminous material, causing it to glow in the dark.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning

To maintain the appearance of your watch, wipe the case and crystal with a soft, dry cloth. For the leather strap, avoid prolonged exposure to water, direct sunlight, and harsh chemicals. Clean the leather strap with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, then allow it to air dry completely.

5.2 Storage

When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for an extended period, consider a watch winder to keep the automatic movement running and lubricated.

5.3 Water Resistance Care

Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in to maintain water resistance. If the watch is exposed to saltwater, rinse it gently with fresh water and dry thoroughly. Avoid exposing the watch to sudden temperature changes, which can compromise its water resistance.

6. Troubleshooting

• Watch Not Running: If the watch has stopped, manually wind it by rotating the crown clockwise 20-30 times. Ensure it is worn regularly to keep the automatic movement powered.
• Inaccurate Time: Automatic mechanical watches may have a slight deviation in timekeeping. Errors within the range of 30-60 seconds per day are considered within international standards for this type of movement. If the deviation is significantly outside this range, consult a professional watch repair service.
• Calendar Not Changing: Ensure the time is set correctly, especially past midnight, for the calendar to advance. Avoid adjusting the calendar between 9 PM and 3 AM.
• Condensation Under Crystal: If you notice condensation inside the watch, this indicates a breach in water resistance. Immediately take the watch to a professional for inspection and repair to prevent further damage.
