Setup and Time Setting
Your watch comes with a pre-installed battery. Follow these steps to set the time and date.
- Activate Display: Press the side button once to illuminate the LED word matrix and display the current time.
- Enter Setting Mode: Press and hold the side button for approximately 3-5 seconds until the hour words begin to flash.
- Set Hour: While the hour words are flashing, press the side button repeatedly to advance the hour. The time is displayed in 5-minute increments (e.g., "ONE O'CLOCK", "FIVE PAST ONE", "TEN PAST ONE", etc.).
- Set Minutes (Fine Adjustment): After setting the hour, the four small dots in the corners of the display will flash. Press the side button repeatedly to adjust the individual minutes (1-4 minutes) within the current 5-minute block. Each press adds one minute.
- Set Date: After setting the minutes, the month will flash. Press the side button to advance the month.
- Set Day: After setting the month, the day will flash. Press the side button to advance the day.
- Exit Setting Mode: Stop pressing the button for a few seconds, and the watch will automatically save the settings and return to normal display mode.
Important Note: The watch displays time in 5-minute blocks using words (e.g., "TWENTY-FIVE PAST SEVEN"). The four corner dots provide the precise minutes within that 5-minute block (each dot represents one minute). For example, if the display shows "TWENTY-FIVE PAST SEVEN" and two corner dots are lit, the time is 7:27.
Operating the Watch
- Reading Time: Press the side button once to activate the LED display. The time will be spelled out in words, with additional minutes indicated by the corner dots.
- Date Display: In normal display mode, a quick double-press of the side button may cycle to display the date. (Specific behavior may vary; refer to initial setup for date setting).
- Automatic Shut-off: The LED display will automatically turn off after a few seconds to conserve battery life.

Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: Wipe the watch case and band with a soft, dry cloth. For stainless steel bands, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Water Resistance: This watch is rated 3ATM (30 meters) water-resistant. This means it is suitable for daily use, such as hand-washing and light splashes. It is not suitable for swimming, showering, diving, or prolonged water immersion. Do not press any buttons while the watch is wet.
- Battery: The watch uses a Japanese battery for accurate timekeeping. When the display becomes dim or unresponsive, the battery may need replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a professional watch technician to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.
- Temperature: Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures (hot or cold) or sudden temperature changes, as this can affect its performance and battery life.

| Incorrect time displayed. | Time not set correctly or accidental adjustment. | Follow the "Setup and Time Setting" instructions to reset the time. Remember the 5-minute block and corner dot system. |
| Water inside the watch. | Exposure to water beyond 3ATM rating or buttons pressed underwater. | Immediately take the watch to a professional watch repair service. Do not attempt to open it yourself. |
