Troubleshooting
The watch has stopped running
Place the watch in direct sunlight or under a bright artificial light source for several hours to recharge the internal cell.
Luminous markers are not glowing
The glow effect requires 'charging' by exposure to light; ensure the watch face has been exposed to bright light recently.
Condensation under the crystal
If moisture appears inside the dial, the water resistance may have been compromised; contact a professional watchmaker or the manufacturer for service.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
- Clean the watch periodically with a soft, damp cloth to remove perspiration or dirt from the case and strap.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents that might damage the bio-based resin or the recycled strap material.
- Ensure the crown is pushed fully in to maintain the specified water resistance.
- Store the watch in a well-lit area when not in use to prevent the power reserve from depleting.
