Setup and Initial Winding
Your Movado Bold Fusion watch is powered by an automatic movement, which means it winds itself with the motion of your wrist. If the watch has stopped or is not keeping accurate time, it may need to be manually wound to restart the movement.
To restart your watch:
- Locate the crown (the small knob on the right side of the case).
- Gently turn the crown clockwise 20–30 times, until the second hand begins to sweep.
To set the time:
- Pull the crown out to position 2.
- Turn to set the correct time.
- Push the crown back in to position 1.

Operating Your Watch
Once set, your automatic watch will continue to operate as long as it is worn regularly. The natural movement of your wrist provides the necessary energy for the self-winding mechanism. The watch features a date display, which automatically advances at midnight.
Date Adjustment:
To adjust the date, pull the crown out to position 1 (first click) and turn it counter-clockwise until the correct date is displayed. Push the crown back in to position 0 (fully pushed in) to secure the setting.

Care and Maintenance
Proper care ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Movado watch.
Automatic Movement Care:
Automatic watches do not use batteries. They are powered by the natural movement of your wrist. Regular, consistent wear should be enough to keep your Movado sweeping smoothly. However, if you haven't worn your watch for 38 hours or more and it has stopped, don't worry—that's completely normal and expected. It just needs a quick winding to restart the movement as described in the Setup section.
Water Resistance:
Your Movado Bold Fusion watch is water resistant up to 50 meters (5 ATM / 165 feet). This means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming and showering. It is not suitable for diving or snorkeling. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before exposing the watch to water.
General Care:
- Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures or sudden temperature changes.
- Clean the watch case and strap with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals.
- Avoid strong impacts or vibrations, which can affect the delicate internal mechanism.
- We recommend a maintenance interval of 3 to 5 years by an authorized Movado service center to ensure optimal performance. Avoid opening the watch yourself for any adjustments.
