Setup Instructions

Setting the Time

1. Pull the crown (the knob on the side of the watch) out to position 2.
2. Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the hour and minute hands to the desired time.
3. Once the time is set, push the crown back into position 1 (normal operating position).

Setting the Date

1. Pull the crown out to position 1 (first click).
2. Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to adjust the date.
3. Once the date is set, push the crown back into the normal operating position.

Operating Instructions

Water Resistance (50M / 5ATM)

Your SKMEI Model 2305 watch is rated for 50 meters (5 ATM) of water resistance. This means it is suitable for:

• Washing hands
• Exposure to rain
• Showering (brief, not prolonged exposure to hot water/steam)
• Swimming in shallow water

Important Precautions:

• Do NOT operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged.
• Avoid exposure to hot water, steam, or extreme temperature changes, as this can compromise the water seals.
• Not suitable for diving, snorkeling, or high-impact water sports.

Using the Chronograph (Stopwatch)

The SKMEI 2305 features a chronograph function for measuring elapsed time. The watch typically has two pushers on the side, in addition to the crown.

1. Start: Press the upper pusher (usually at 2 o'clock) to start the chronograph. The chronograph second hand will begin to move.
2. Stop: Press the upper pusher again to stop the chronograph. The elapsed time will be indicated by the chronograph hands.
3. Reset: After stopping the chronograph, press the lower pusher (usually at 4 o'clock) to reset all chronograph hands back to their zero positions.
4. Lap Time (if applicable): Some chronographs allow for lap time measurement. Consult the specific movement instructions if your model supports this advanced feature.

Maintenance

Cleaning Your Watch

• Wipe the watch case and strap regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt.
• For silicone straps, you can use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry completely.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the watch's finish or seals.

Battery Replacement

Your SKMEI 2305 watch is powered by a quartz movement, which requires a battery (Battery Code: SR920SW). When the watch stops or the second hand starts skipping, it's an indication that the battery needs to be replaced.

• Battery replacement should ideally be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and prevent damage to the movement.
• Improper battery replacement can compromise the watch's water resistance.

Storage

When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and strong magnetic fields.

Troubleshooting

• Watch Not Running: Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If it is, the battery may need replacement.
• Incorrect Time/Date: Refer to the "Setup Instructions" section to reset the time and date. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in after adjustment.
• Water Inside Watch: If you notice condensation or water droplets inside the watch, immediately take it to a professional watch repair service. Do not attempt to open it yourself, as this can cause further damage.
• Chronograph Not Resetting to Zero: If the chronograph hands do not reset to the 12 o'clock position, they may need calibration. This usually involves pulling the crown out to a specific position and using the pushers to adjust the hands. Consult a professional if unsure.
