Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup: For a new automatic watch or one that has stopped, the movement needs to be wound. Gently shake the watch for about 30 seconds or manually wind it by turning the crown (usually in the first position) clockwise about 30-40 times until you feel resistance. Avoid overwinding. Set the time by pulling the crown to the appropriate position and turning it.
Compatibility: As an automatic mechanical watch, it is self-winding via wrist movement. Ensure you wear it regularly or wind it periodically to maintain the power reserve. The watch is water-resistant to a specified ATM rating (check product manual for exact details), but it's advisable to avoid prolonged immersion or high-pressure water activities unless specified.
Care:
- Clean the case and strap regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- For the rubber strap, clean with mild soap and water if needed, and dry thoroughly.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place when not in use, preferably in its original box or a watch case to protect it from dust and scratches.
- Service your watch every 3-5 years by a qualified watchmaker to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the movement.
