Setting the Date: Pull out the crown to the middle position (if applicable, this watch description doesn't explicitly mention date, so I will make a general statement). Turn the crown to adjust the date. Note: If your watch has a date display, avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM to prevent damage to the mechanism. Push the crown back in completely.

This watch is designed as a standalone accessory. Its classic styling ensures it complements a wide variety of personal styles and wardrobes.
The 22mm band width means the strap can be replaced with other 22mm watch straps if desired, allowing for customization.
Cleaning the Case and Crystal: Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the stainless steel case and mineral crystal. Avoid abrasive cleaners or chemicals that could damage the finish.
Eco Leather Strap Care:
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, extreme heat, or moisture, as this can cause the leather to dry, crack, or fade.
If the strap gets wet, gently pat it dry with a soft cloth and allow it to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
For cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner designed for eco leather or a very lightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh soaps.
Regularly check the strap for signs of wear and tear, especially near the buckle and lug connections.
Water Resistance:
While water-resistant up to 50m, this means it's suitable for showering or shallow swimming, not high-impact water activities or diving.
Always ensure the crown is pushed in completely before exposing the watch to water.
Never operate the pushers or crown while the watch is submerged or wet.
If any moisture appears inside the watch crystal, have it inspected by a professional immediately.
Battery Replacement: Quartz watches require battery replacement typically every 2-3 years. It is recommended to have this done by a professional watch repair service to ensure proper sealing and water resistance integrity.
