Troubleshooting
Watch is not running.
Ensure the crown is pushed in completely. If the watch still does not run, the battery may be depleted and requires replacement.
Chronograph hands are not returning to zero.
This may require a reset of the chronograph mechanism. Consult the watch manual or a professional watchmaker for specific reset procedures.
Difficulty setting time or date.
Gently pull the crown to the appropriate position (refer to manual if needed). Avoid forcing the crown, as this could cause damage.
Bracelet is uncomfortable.
The bracelet may need to be adjusted for size. It is recommended to have this done by a professional jeweler to avoid scratching the watch or damaging the links.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The watch comes pre-set with a battery. To set the time and date, pull the crown located on the side of the case outwards. The first position typically adjusts the date, while the second position adjusts the time. Push the crown back in to secure your settings.
Compatibility: This is a standalone analog watch and does not have smart capabilities, thus requiring no digital compatibility.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the watch and bracelet regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Bracelet Adjustment: If the bracelet is too loose or tight, it is recommended to visit a professional jeweler or watch service center to have links removed or added safely.
- Water Resistance: Avoid prolonged exposure to water. While splash-resistant, do not submerge the watch. Ensure the crown is pushed in fully before exposure to moisture.
