FAQs
How do I set the time and date on my BOSS Chronograph Watch?
To set the time, pull the crown to the furthest position and rotate. To set the date, pull the crown to the first click position and rotate. Push the crown back in completely after setting both.
Can I wear this watch while swimming or showering?
Yes, with 10ATM water resistance, this watch is suitable for recreational swimming, snorkeling, surfing, and sailing. However, we advise against wearing it in the shower or sauna, as hot water and steam can compromise the water-resistant seals. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before water exposure.
What does '10ATM Water Resistance' mean?
10 ATM (Atmospheres) or 100 meters (330 feet) water resistance means the watch is protected from water splashes, rain, and can withstand recreational swimming and snorkeling. It is not designed for diving, especially scuba diving, where greater pressure resistance is needed.
How do I clean the gold-plated stainless steel bracelet?
Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe away dirt. For deeper cleaning, lightly dampen a cloth with mild, non-abrasive soap and gently wipe the bracelet, then immediately dry it thoroughly with another clean, soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
What type of crystal is used in this watch?
This watch features a durable mineral crystal window, which offers good resistance against everyday scratches and impacts.
How often should the watch battery be replaced?
The battery life of a quartz watch typically ranges from 2 to 4 years, depending on usage. We recommend having the battery replaced by a professional watchmaker to ensure proper installation and resealing for water resistance.
Troubleshooting
Watch hands are not moving or the watch has stopped.
First, ensure the crown is fully pushed in. If it's pushed in and the watch still isn't running, the battery may need replacement. Contact a qualified watchmaker for a battery service.
Chronograph hands do not reset to the '12 o'clock' position.
This often requires a manual adjustment. Pull the crown out to the furthest position. Then, press the chronograph pushers (usually the top and bottom ones) repeatedly or hold them down to cycle the chronograph hands back to the zero position. Refer to the detailed instruction manual if this does not work, as specific models can vary.
Date function is not changing at midnight.
Ensure the watch's internal AM/PM setting is correct. To correct this, advance the time past 12 PM (noon) and then past 12 AM (midnight) to see if the date changes. If not, you may have set the date during the 'forbidden' period (9 PM - 3 AM). Adjust the time outside this period, then reset the date.
Moisture or condensation appears under the mineral crystal.
This indicates a breach in the watch's water resistance seal. Immediately take the watch to a professional watch repair service to prevent further damage to the movement. Avoid trying to dry it yourself.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance and longevity for your BOSS Chronograph Quartz Watch, follow these guidelines.
Setting Up Your Watch
- Setting the Time: Pull the crown out to the furthest position. Rotate the crown to move the hands clockwise until you reach the correct time. Push the crown back in completely.
- Setting the Date: Pull the crown out to the first click position. Rotate the crown (usually clockwise) until the correct date is displayed. *Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can interfere with the automatic date change mechanism.* Push the crown back in.
- Using the Chronograph: Press the top pusher button to start the chronograph. Press it again to stop. Press the bottom pusher button to reset the chronograph hands back to zero.
Compatibility
This timepiece is designed as a men's watch, with a 44mm case diameter and a 22mm band width, suitable for most adult wrists. The push-button deployment clasp ensures a secure and adjustable fit.
Care & Maintenance
- Cleaning: Regularly wipe your watch with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove dirt and oils. For the gold-plated bracelet, a very lightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used, followed by a dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Water Exposure: While 10ATM water-resistant, avoid exposing the watch to hot water, steam (e.g., in a shower or sauna), or chemical agents which can compromise the seals. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any water exposure. After swimming in chlorinated or salt water, rinse the watch with fresh water and dry thoroughly.
- Storage: When not in use, store your watch in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and strong magnetic fields, which can affect its accuracy.
- Battery Replacement: The quartz movement is powered by a battery. When the watch stops or the chronograph functions become erratic, it's likely time for a battery replacement. We recommend having this done by a qualified watchmaker to ensure proper re-sealing and maintain water resistance.
