Troubleshooting
Watch has stopped working
The battery may be depleted. Quartz watches require battery replacements typically every 2-3 years. Consult a professional watchmaker for battery replacement.
Date is not changing correctly
Ensure you are not trying to change the date between 9 PM and 3 AM. If the issue persists, the date mechanism may require servicing by a professional.
Condensation under the glass
This could indicate a breach in water resistance. Remove the watch from moisture immediately and have it inspected by a watchmaker to check seals and prevent further damage.
