Setup
Before using your watch, it is important to set the correct time and date. Your watch typically has four buttons: LIGHT, MODE, START/STOP, and RESET. The exact button functions may vary slightly, but the general procedure is as follows:
- Entering Time Setting Mode: Press the MODE button repeatedly until the time display begins to flash, indicating it is ready for adjustment.
- Adjusting Time: Use the START/STOP button to increase the flashing digit (hours, minutes). Use the RESET button to move to the next digit or setting (e.g., from hours to minutes).
- Setting 12/24 Hour Format: While in time setting mode, you may be able to toggle between 12-hour (with AM/PM indicator) and 24-hour formats using the START/STOP or RESET button.
- Setting Date: After setting the time, continue pressing the RESET button to cycle through date settings (month, day, year) and adjust them using the START/STOP button.
- Exiting Setting Mode: Press the MODE button again to exit the setting mode and return to normal time display.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the watch case and bracelet regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Water Resistance (3 BAR): Your watch is water-resistant to 3 BAR (30 meters). This means it is suitable for daily use and can withstand splashes or brief immersion in water. It is not suitable for swimming, showering, or diving. Do not operate buttons while the watch is wet.
- Battery Replacement: When the display becomes dim or functions become erratic, the battery may need replacement. This should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.
- Storage: Store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
