3. Setup

Before initial use, ensure the watch is fully functional. If the watch is not running, it may require a new battery or activation if it has a crown guard.

1. Remove Crown Guard (if present): Some new watches come with a small plastic stopper under the crown to preserve battery life. Gently pull this stopper out and discard it.
2. Initial Time Setting: Pull the crown out to position 2 (farthest out). Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the correct time. Push the crown back to position 0 (normal position) to start the watch.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Setting the Time

1. Pull the crown out to position 2 (the outermost position).
2. Rotate the crown to move the hour and minute hands until the desired time is displayed. Pay attention to the 24-hour sub-dial to ensure AM/PM is correctly set if applicable.
3. Once the time is set, push the crown back to position 0 (normal position).

4.2 Setting the Date

1. Pull the crown out to position 1 (the first click).
2. Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise (depending on the movement) to adjust the date in the date window.
3. Avoid setting the date between 9:00 PM and 3:00 AM, as this can interfere with the automatic date change mechanism. If the current time falls within this period, first set the time outside this range, adjust the date, then reset the time.
4. Once the date is set, push the crown back to position 0.

4.3 Adjusting Moon Phase and 24-Hour Sub-dial

The RUIGE N3 watch features dedicated pushers for adjusting the moon phase and potentially the 24-hour sub-dial.

• Pusher A (Top Pusher): Typically used to advance the moon phase indicator. Press this pusher repeatedly until the correct moon phase is displayed.
• Pusher B (Bottom Pusher): Often used to adjust the 24-hour sub-dial or another calendar function. Press this pusher to advance the corresponding indicator.

Refer to the specific markings on your watch dial or case for precise identification of each pusher's function. Adjust these indicators to match the current date and time.

5. Water Resistance Guidelines

Your RUIGE N3 watch is rated for 30 meters (3 ATM/3 BAR) water resistance. This rating indicates that the watch is suitable for daily use, such as accidental splashes, rain, and washing hands.

Important Considerations:

• Do NOT operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged.
• Avoid hot water, steam, or extreme temperature changes, as these can compromise the watch's seals.
• Not suitable for showering, bathing, swimming, diving, or any water sports.
• Water resistance is not a permanent condition and may decrease over time due to wear and tear or accidental impact.

6. Maintenance and Care

Proper care will help maintain the appearance and functionality of your RUIGE N3 watch.

• Cleaning: Wipe the watch case and crystal with a soft, dry cloth. For the leather strap, avoid excessive moisture and clean with a specialized leather cleaner if necessary.
• Avoid Chemicals: Do not expose the watch to solvents, detergents, perfumes, or cosmetics, as these can damage the case, strap, or seals.
• Temperature Extremes: Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures (above 60°C / 140°F or below 0°C / 32°F) or sudden temperature changes.
• Magnetic Fields: Keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields, which can affect the accuracy of the quartz movement.
• Battery Replacement: When the watch stops or the second hand begins to jump erratically (End-of-Life indicator), it's time for a battery replacement. This should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and function.
