Setup and Initial Use

Winding the Watch

Your PD-YS022 is an automatic mechanical watch. It is powered by the motion of your wrist. If the watch has stopped or has not been worn for an extended period, it will need to be manually wound to initiate power reserve.

1. Manual Winding: To manually wind the watch, rotate the crown clockwise approximately 20-30 times while it is in its normal, pushed-in position. This will provide sufficient power to start the watch and build up a power reserve.
2. Automatic Winding: Once manually wound, wearing the watch for 8-10 hours a day will keep it sufficiently wound through the natural motion of your arm.

Setting the Time and Date

To set the time and date on your watch:

1. Pull the Crown: Gently pull the crown out to the first click position to set the date, or to the second click position to set the time.
2. Set the Date: In the first click position, rotate the crown to adjust the date. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the movement.
3. Set the Time: In the second click position, rotate the crown to move the hands clockwise until the correct time is displayed. Ensure you differentiate between AM and PM when setting the time to avoid the date changing at noon instead of midnight.
4. Push the Crown Back: Once the time and date are set, push the crown back into its normal position to secure it and ensure water resistance.

Operating Guidelines

Water Resistance

The PD-YS022 watch is rated for 100 meters (10 ATM) water resistance, making it suitable for swimming and showering. However, it is crucial to observe the following precautions:

• Do Not Press Buttons Underwater: Never press any buttons or pull the crown while the watch is submerged in water. This can compromise the water seals and lead to water ingress.
• Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Do not expose the watch to extremely hot water (e.g., hot tubs, saunas) or extremely cold temperatures, as this can affect the seals and movement.
• Ensure Crown is Fully Pushed In: Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before exposing the watch to water.

Luminous Display

The watch features luminous hands that absorb light and glow in the dark, providing readability in low-light conditions. Exposure to bright light will enhance the glow effect.

Maintenance and Care

To maintain the appearance and functionality of your watch:

• Cleaning: Wipe the watch regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For the fluorine rubber strap, a damp cloth with mild soap can be used, followed by thorough drying.
• Avoid Chemicals: Do not expose the watch to harsh chemicals, solvents, or detergents, as these can damage the case, strap, or seals.
• Storage: When not wearing the watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong magnetic fields.
• Professional Servicing: Mechanical watches benefit from periodic professional servicing (typically every 3-5 years) to ensure optimal performance and lubrication of the movement.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your PD-YS022 watch, consider the following:

• Watch Not Running:
  • Ensure the watch is sufficiently wound. Manually wind it by rotating the crown clockwise 20-30 times.
  • Wear the watch for several hours to allow the automatic movement to build power reserve.
• Time or Date Incorrect:
  • Refer to the "Setting the Time and Date" section to correctly adjust.
  • Ensure the crown is fully pushed in after setting.
• Condensation Under Crystal:
  • This may indicate a breach in water resistance. Avoid further water exposure and seek professional service immediately.
