FAQs
Is the Skechers Ruhland Watch suitable for diving?
No, the watch has a 50m water resistance rating, which means it's suitable for swimming in shallow water, but not for diving, snorkeling, or high-impact water sports.
How do I activate the backlight?
The backlight is typically activated by pressing the button labeled `LIGHT` (usually located on the upper left side of the watch case).
Can I change the battery myself?
While technically possible, it is recommended to have the battery replaced by a professional watchmaker. This ensures the watch's water resistance seal is properly re-established.
How do I set the daily alarm?
Press the `MODE` button until you reach the alarm setting screen. Use the `ADJ` button to adjust the hour and minute, and the `SET` button to toggle the alarm on or off. Confirm by pressing `MODE` again.
My leather strap got wet, what should I do?
Wipe the strap gently with a soft, dry cloth. Allow it to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid prolonged saturation to prevent damage and discoloration.
What is the case material?
The case of the Skechers Ruhland Watch is made from durable polycarbonate (plastic).
Does it show the day of the week?
Yes, alongside the date, the calendar function also displays the day of the week.
Troubleshooting
Display is blank or dim.
Check if the battery needs replacement. If the watch is new, ensure any protective tab was removed. If not, a professional battery replacement might be required.
Buttons are unresponsive or stuck.
Gently clean around the buttons to remove any dirt or debris. If buttons were pressed underwater, allow the watch to dry completely. If the problem persists, professional servicing may be needed.
Watch is not keeping accurate time.
Reset the time and date following the setup instructions. If the inaccuracy continues, the battery may be low, or the internal module might require inspection by a professional.
Water condensation appears under the crystal.
This indicates a breach in water resistance. Immediately take the watch to a professional for inspection and repair to prevent further damage to internal components.
Leather strap is cracking or discolored.
This is often due to improper care or excessive moisture exposure. Apply a leather conditioner sparingly. For severe damage, consider replacing the strap.

Compatibility

Care
- Water Resistance: The watch is water resistant up to 50 meters, meaning it can withstand splashes, rain, and swimming in shallow water. However, do not press buttons underwater as this can compromise the seals. Avoid hot water exposure (e.g., hot showers or saunas) as temperature changes can affect water resistance.
- Strap Care (Leather): The leather strap should be protected from excessive moisture. If it gets wet, gently wipe it dry with a soft cloth and allow it to air dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight, to prevent cracking or discoloration. Regular cleaning with a damp cloth can remove surface dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Case Care: Clean the polycarbonate case and display with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the plastic.
- Battery: The watch uses a standard button cell battery. When the display dims or functions become unreliable, it's best to have the battery replaced by a professional to ensure water resistance is maintained.
