FAQs

What does 20ATM water resistance mean?

20ATM (200 meters or 660 feet) means the watch is suitable for surface swimming, water sports, and scuba diving. However, avoid operating the crown or pushers while submerged.

How accurate is the chronograph?

The chronograph measures time in 1-second intervals up to a maximum of 60 minutes, offering precise timing for various activities.

Is the stainless steel bracelet adjustable?

The bracelet typically has links that can be removed or added by a jeweler or watchmaker to achieve a perfect fit for your wrist.

What type of movement does this watch have?

This watch features a reliable quartz movement, known for its accuracy and low maintenance.

How do I care for the sapphire crystal glass?

Sapphire crystal is highly scratch-resistant. Clean it with a soft, damp cloth. While resistant to scratches, it can still chip or crack under sharp impact.

What is the warranty period for this watch?

The watch comes with a 2-year manufacturing warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.

Can I change the watch strap?

Yes, the watch is compatible with standard watch strap attachments, allowing you to customize its appearance with different materials like leather or rubber straps.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped working

Ensure the crown is pushed in completely. If the watch has a quartz movement, the battery may need replacement. Contact a qualified watchmaker.

Chronograph not resetting correctly

Ensure the chronograph was fully stopped before pressing the reset pusher. If the issue persists, it may require professional servicing.

Date is not changing

Make sure the time is not between 10 PM and 2 AM when setting the date. If the problem continues, consult a watchmaker.

This indicates a potential breach in water resistance. Remove the watch from moisture immediately and have it inspected by a watchmaker.
