Operating the Watch
Timekeeping
Your GUESS CATRIN GW0784G1 watch is powered by a Japanese quartz movement, ensuring accurate timekeeping. The watch features analog display with hour, minute, and second hands.
Sub-dial Functions
The watch dial includes multiple sub-dials:
- One sub-dial indicates the day of the week (e.g., MON, TUE).
- Another sub-dial displays the date of the month (1-31).
- A third sub-dial shows a 24-hour format, useful for distinguishing AM/PM.
These sub-dials are typically adjusted using the crown in its middle position or via dedicated pushers on the side of the case, if present. Refer to the "Setting the Time and Date" section for adjustment instructions.

Maintenance
Cleaning
To maintain the appearance of your watch, wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid using chemical cleaners or abrasive materials.
Water Resistance
This watch is water-resistant up to 3 ATM (30 meters). This means it is suitable for daily use and can withstand splashes or brief immersion in water, such as washing hands or rain. It is not suitable for swimming, showering, or diving. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.
Battery Replacement
The Japanese quartz movement is powered by a battery with an approximate lifespan of 2 years. When the watch stops or the second hand begins to skip, it indicates a low battery. Battery replacement should be performed by a professional watchmaker to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.
Storage
When not in use, store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid exposing the watch to strong magnetic fields, as this can affect its accuracy.
