Troubleshooting
Watch has stopped or is losing time.
Ensure the watch is exposed to sufficient light. Prolonged darkness can deplete the power reserve. Place the watch in direct sunlight for a day or in bright artificial light for 2-3 days.
Bracelet feels loose or tight.
The bracelet may require adjustment. Consult a professional jeweler or watch repair shop for precise sizing by adding or removing links.
Minor scratches on the crystal.
Mineral glass can scratch. While minor scratches might be buffed out by a professional, significant damage may require crystal replacement. Avoid exposing the watch to abrasive surfaces.
Difficulty opening or closing the butterfly clasp.
Ensure both sides of the clasp are aligned correctly before attempting to fasten or unfasten. If it feels stiff, check for debris and gently clean the mechanism. If the issue persists, seek professional assessment.
