Setup
1. Setting the Time
- Locate the Crown: The crown is the small knob on the right side of the watch case.
- Pull Out the Crown: Gently pull the crown outwards until you feel a click. This will stop the second hand (if present) and allow you to adjust the time.
- Adjust the Time: Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the hour and minute hands to the correct time.
- Push In the Crown: Once the time is set, push the crown back into its original position. The watch will resume normal operation.

2. Adjusting the Strap
Your French Connection watch features an adjustable stainless steel mesh bracelet. To adjust the fit:
- Open the Clasp: Use a small tool (like a flat-head screwdriver or a spring bar tool) to lift the locking plate on the clasp.
- Slide the Clasp: Once the locking plate is open, you can slide the clasp along the mesh band to your desired length.
- Secure the Clasp: Press the locking plate back down firmly until it clicks into place, securing the clasp at the new position. Ensure it is fully closed to prevent accidental opening.
Operating Your Watch
1. Reading the Time
The watch displays time using traditional hour and minute hands on a black analog dial. The longer hand indicates minutes, and the shorter hand indicates hours.
2. Water Resistance
This watch has a water resistance rating of 30 Metres (3 ATM). This means it is suitable for everyday use and can withstand splashes or brief immersion in water. It is not recommended for swimming, showering, or diving. Avoid operating the crown while the watch is wet to prevent water ingress.

Maintenance
1. Cleaning Your Watch
- Wipe the watch case and strap regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt.
- For the stainless steel mesh strap, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the watch's finish.
2. Battery Replacement
Your watch is powered by a Lithium Ion battery. When the watch stops or the time becomes inaccurate, it may be time for a battery replacement. It is highly recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure the water resistance seal is maintained.
3. Storage
When not in use, store your watch in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and strong magnetic fields. The original watch box can be used for safe storage.
Troubleshooting
- Watch Not Working: If the watch stops, check if the crown is fully pushed in. If it is, the battery may need replacement. Contact a professional watch service.
- Time Inaccuracy: Minor inaccuracies are normal for quartz watches. If the time is consistently incorrect, the battery may be low, or the watch may have been exposed to a strong magnetic field. Seek professional assistance.
- Condensation Inside Dial: If you notice condensation under the crystal, this indicates water ingress. Immediately take the watch to a professional for inspection and repair to prevent further damage.
