Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set the time, gently pull out the crown located on the side of the case until it clicks into the time-setting position, rotate it to the desired time, and push it back in completely. For care, keep the watch away from harsh chemicals such as perfumes or hairsprays, which can tarnish the gold-tone finish over time. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe the watch surface after use to remove sweat or oils. If the watch ever stops working, it is likely the battery requires replacement, which should be performed by a professional jeweler to maintain the integrity of the watch case.
