FAQs
What does 5 ATM water resistance mean?
5 ATM (or 50 meters) means the watch is resistant to splashes and rain. It is suitable for brief immersion in water but not for swimming, diving, or showering.
How do I set the date on the watch?
Gently pull the crown out to the first position (usually one click). Rotate the crown to set the desired date. Push the crown back in fully. It is recommended not to change the date between 9 PM and 3 AM.
How long does the battery typically last?
The battery in a quartz chronograph watch typically lasts between 2 to 3 years, depending on usage of the chronograph function.
Can I wear this watch while swimming?
No, the 5 ATM water resistance is not sufficient for swimming. The watch is only protected against accidental splashes and rain.
What is a tachymeter scale used for?
The tachymeter scale on the bezel allows you to calculate speed based on travel time or measure events per unit of time. It's often used in racing or timing.
How do I clean the stainless steel bracelet?
Wipe the bracelet with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use mild soap and water, then rinse and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Is the lume on the hands bright enough for complete darkness?
The hands are filled with luminous material for improved visibility in low-light conditions. While effective, the brightness and duration depend on prior light exposure.
Troubleshooting
Watch has stopped or is losing time.
The battery may be depleted and require replacement. Consult a professional watchmaker for battery replacement.
Chronograph hand (second sweep) is not returning to zero.
This may require a reset procedure. Refer to the specific model's manual or consult a qualified watchmaker for adjustment.
Date is not changing correctly.
Ensure the time is set between 6 AM and 12 AM for the date to advance correctly. Avoid changing the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the movement.
Scratches on the watch crystal.
Minor scratches on mineral crystals cannot be easily removed. For significant damage, replacement by a watchmaker may be necessary. If the crystal is sapphire, it is more scratch-resistant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup:
Your BOSS Strike Chronograph watch arrives with the crown typically in the 'set' position to conserve battery. To begin using it, gently push the crown back into its standard position against the case. If the second hand is not moving, you may need to wind the watch by turning the crown clockwise several times. To set the time and date, pull the crown out to the appropriate position (usually one click for the date, two clicks for the time) and adjust accordingly, then push it back in firmly.
Compatibility:
This is a standalone analog watch and does not require pairing with other devices. It operates on a battery-powered quartz movement.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish. The crystal can be cleaned with a microfiber cloth.
- Water Resistance: While rated at 5 ATM, avoid exposing the watch to high-velocity water (like strong taps or showers) and do not operate the pushers or crown underwater. After any contact with saltwater, rinse the watch with fresh water and dry thoroughly.
- Storage: Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to maintain its appearance and functionality.
- Battery: The battery typically lasts 2-3 years. Replacement should be performed by a qualified watchmaker to ensure water resistance is maintained.
