Setup

1. Setting the Time

1. Locate the Crown: The crown is the small knob on the right side of the watch case.
2. Pull Out the Crown: Gently pull the crown out to position 2 (the outermost position). The second hand will stop, indicating the watch is in time-setting mode.
3. Adjust the Time: Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to move the hour and minute hands to the desired time. Ensure you set the correct AM/PM by observing if the date changes when passing midnight.
4. Push In the Crown: Once the time is set, push the crown back into position 1 (the innermost position) to restart the watch.

2. Setting the Date

1. Pull Out the Crown: Gently pull the crown out to position 1 (the middle position). The watch will continue to run.
2. Adjust the Date: Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to advance or reverse the date. Adjust until the correct date is displayed.
3. Push In the Crown: Once the date is set, push the crown back into the innermost position to secure it.

Note: Avoid setting the date between 9:00 PM and 3:00 AM, as this can 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.

3. Adjusting the Strap

The watch features a buckle clasp strap. To adjust, simply thread the strap through the buckle and secure it in the desired hole for a comfortable fit on your wrist.

Maintenance

Cleaning Your Watch

To maintain the appearance of your watch, wipe the case and crystal with a soft, damp cloth. For the strap, use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth, then rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Battery Replacement

Your watch is powered by a quartz movement requiring a battery. When the watch stops running, it indicates the battery needs replacement. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure the water resistance seal is properly maintained.

Water Resistance Care

Regularly check that the crown is fully pushed in to maintain water resistance. If the watch is exposed to saltwater, rinse it with fresh water and dry it thoroughly.

Troubleshooting

• Watch Not Running:
  • Ensure the crown is fully pushed into position 1.
  • The battery may need replacement. Contact a qualified technician.
• Date Not Changing:
  • Check if the time is set correctly, especially AM/PM. The date changes around midnight.
  • Avoid setting the date between 9:00 PM and 3:00 AM.
• Condensation Under Crystal:
  • This indicates a potential breach in the water resistance. Immediately contact customer support or a service center.
