FAQs
How does the automatic movement work?
The automatic movement is powered by the motion of your wrist. As you move, a rotor inside the watch spins, winding the mainspring and storing energy to keep the watch running.
Do I need to wind my watch every day?
If you wear the watch consistently for several hours each day, you generally do not need to wind it manually. However, if the watch stops, manual winding is required to restart it.
What is the water resistance of this watch?
Please refer to the specific product specifications for your model. Standard practice for dress watches often involves limited water resistance, suitable for splashes but not for swimming or diving. Always ensure the crown is secured.
How often should an automatic watch be serviced?
It is generally recommended to have an automatic watch serviced by a qualified watchmaker every 3 to 5 years to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the movement.
Can the strap be easily replaced?
Yes, the strap can typically be replaced. However, it is recommended to use straps compatible with the lug width of the 38mm case. Professional installation is advised if you are not comfortable with the process.
What does 'minimalist' mean in the context of this watch?
Minimalist design refers to simplicity, clean lines, and the absence of unnecessary ornamentation. The Max Bill watch embodies this with its uncluttered dial, clear typography, and focus on essential watch functions.
Troubleshooting
Watch has stopped running
Ensure the watch has been worn for a sufficient duration recently. If not, manually wind the crown 30-40 times clockwise until slight resistance is felt.
Inaccurate Timekeeping
Automatic watches can experience minor variations. If significant inaccuracy persists, consider a professional service. Ensure the watch is not exposed to strong magnetic fields, which can affect accuracy.
Difficulty setting the time/date
Gently pull the crown to the appropriate position for setting the time or date. Do not force the crown. Consult the user manual for specific instructions on your model's crown functions.
Strap adjustment issues
For leather straps, ensure the buckle is secured correctly. For metal bracelets, consult a jeweler or watch repair specialist for professional adjustment to avoid scratching.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup:
Your Junghans Max Bill Automatic watch is powered by your movement. Upon first receiving the watch, or if it has stopped, it may require manual winding to initiate the movement. Gently turn the crown clockwise approximately 30-40 times until you feel slight resistance. This will provide an initial power reserve.
Compatibility:
This watch is designed for personal wear. The automatic movement is compatible with the natural motion of the wrist. Ensure the watch is worn regularly, ideally for at least 8-10 hours a day, to maintain consistent power.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the case and crystal gently with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive materials. For the strap, follow the specific care instructions for leather or metal.
- Winding: If the watch stops due to lack of wear, repeat the initial manual winding process. Continuous wear is the most effective way to keep it running.
- Water Resistance: Refer to the specific water resistance rating of your model. Avoid exposing the watch to water beyond its rated limit, and ensure the crown is pushed in or screwed down (if applicable) before exposure.
- Servicing: Automatic watches benefit from periodic servicing (typically every 3-5 years) by a qualified watchmaker to ensure optimal performance and longevity. This includes cleaning, lubrication, and adjustment of the movement.
