Setup
Setting the Time
- Pull the crown out to the second click position.
- Rotate the crown to move the hands clockwise until the desired time is set. Ensure the AM/PM is correctly set if your watch has a 24-hour indicator.
- Push the crown back into the normal position.
Setting the Date
- Pull the crown out to the first click position.
- Rotate the crown to set the correct date.
- Push the crown back into the normal position.
Note: Avoid setting the date between 9:00 PM and 3:00 AM, as this may interfere with the automatic date change mechanism. If you need to set the date during this period, first set the time outside this window, adjust the date, then reset the time.
Operating
Basic Timekeeping
Once the time and date are set, the watch will operate continuously. The second hand will move in one-second intervals, indicating the quartz movement is functioning correctly.
Water Resistance
Image: Water resistance rating of 30m/100F, suitable for splashes and brief immersion.
This watch is rated for 30 meters (100 feet) of water resistance. This rating generally means the watch is suitable for splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water. However, it is not recommended for swimming, bathing, or diving, as prolonged exposure or water pressure changes can compromise the seals. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.
Maintenance
Cleaning Your Watch
- Wipe the watch case and crystal with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and fingerprints.
- For the silicone strap, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the watch's finish.
Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by one nonstandard battery. When the second hand begins to move in two-second intervals, it indicates that the battery is low and needs replacement. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and function.
