FAQs

Is this watch truly waterproof?

The watch has a water resistance rating of 5ATM (50 meters). This means it is suitable for daily use and can withstand splashes, rain, showering, and recreational swimming. However, it is not designed for diving, snorkeling, or high-impact water sports. Always ensure the crown is pushed in completely when near water.

What type of movement does this watch use?

This watch features an advanced quartz chronograph movement, which provides highly accurate timekeeping and reliable performance. Quartz movements are battery-powered.

What are the functions of the sub-dials?

The sub-dials are part of the chronograph function. Typically, one sub-dial tracks elapsed seconds, another tracks elapsed minutes, and a third (if present) might track elapsed hours or serve as a 24-hour indicator. Refer to the specific instruction manual for precise sub-dial functions.

How do I clean my watch and strap?

Wipe the watch case, dial, and rubber strap regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For the rubber strap, you can use mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly. Ensure the watch crown is fully pushed in before any water exposure during cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

How long does the battery typically last?

A quartz watch battery typically lasts between 2 to 3 years. When the battery is low, the seconds hand may start to jump in two-second intervals as an end-of-life indicator. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a professional to maintain water resistance.

Can I replace the strap with a different one?

The watch has a 22mm band width, which is a common size. While you can replace the strap, ensure any new strap is also 22mm and compatible with the watch's spring bars and overall aesthetic. Professional installation is recommended to avoid scratching the case.

Troubleshooting

Watch is not running or stops frequently.

Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If it is, the battery might need replacement. Consult a professional watchmaker to replace the battery and ensure water resistance is maintained.

Chronograph hands do not reset to zero.

Most quartz chronographs have a reset procedure. Pull the crown out to the furthest position. Use the top and bottom pushers to align the chronograph hands to zero (top pusher usually moves the hand forward, bottom backward). Once aligned, push the crown back in.

Date doesn't change at midnight.

Ensure the watch's time (AM/PM) is correctly set. If the date changes at noon, you might have set the time 12 hours off. Adjust the time by advancing the hour hand by 12 hours. Also, avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM.

Fogging or condensation under the crystal.

This indicates moisture ingress. Stop using the watch immediately, keep the crown pulled out, and take it to a professional watchmaker for inspection and drying. Continued use with moisture inside can damage the movement.

Strap feels uncomfortable or causes irritation.

Ensure the strap is not too tight; adjust the buckle for a comfortable fit. Regularly clean the rubber strap to remove sweat, dirt, or residues that can cause irritation. If irritation persists, consult a dermatologist.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional Accuracy: The advanced quartz chronograph movement ensures precise timekeeping and reliable functionality with its sub-dials and date feature.
  • Sporty & Modern Aesthetic: The 44mm case, black textured dial, and overall design create a contemporary and stylish look suitable for various occasions.
  • Comfortable and Secure Fit: The black rubber strap offers excellent comfort for extended wear and a secure buckle clasp.
  • Versatile Water Resistance: 5ATM (50 meters) water resistance allows for worry-free use during showering, swimming, and other daily water exposure.
  • Clear Readability: The high-contrast black textured dial provides excellent visibility for checking the time and chronograph functions.

Cons

  • Limited Water Activities: While suitable for swimming, 5ATM water resistance is not intended for high-impact water sports or professional diving.
  • Size Preference: The 44mm case diameter may be considered large for individuals with smaller wrists.
  • Mineral Crystal Durability: The mineral dial window offers good protection but is generally less scratch-resistant than sapphire crystals found in some higher-end watches.
  • Battery Dependence: As a quartz watch, it relies on battery power, requiring eventual battery replacement (typically every 2-3 years).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup

  1. Set the Time: Pull the crown out to its furthest position. Turn the crown to adjust the hour and minute hands to the correct time. Push the crown back in.
  2. Set the Date: Pull the crown out to the first click. Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to adjust the date wheel to the correct date. *Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can interfere with the date change mechanism.* Push the crown back in.
  3. Using the Chronograph:
  • Press the top pusher to start the chronograph.
  • Press the top pusher again to pause it.
  • Press the bottom pusher to reset the chronograph hands to zero.
  • The sub-dials measure seconds, minutes, and hours (if applicable) for elapsed time.
  1. Strap Adjustment: The rubber strap is designed for a men's standard band size. Adjust the buckle to achieve a comfortable and secure fit on your wrist.

Compatibility

  • Wrist Size: With a 44mm case, this watch is best suited for wrists that prefer a larger, more prominent timepiece. The rubber strap offers flexibility for a wide range of standard men's wrist sizes.
  • Style: Its sporty yet sophisticated design makes it highly compatible with casual wear, active clothing, and even smart-casual business attire.

Care & Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Regularly wipe the watch case, dial window, and strap with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt, sweat, and oils. For the rubber strap, mild soap and water can be used, then rinse thoroughly. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before cleaning with water.
  • Water Resistance: The 5ATM (50 meters) water resistance allows for showering and swimming. However, avoid operating the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or underwater. Do *not* use for diving or high-pressure water activities like jet skiing.
  • Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Protect the watch from sudden temperature changes and extreme heat or cold, which can affect the movement and seals.
  • Battery Replacement: As a quartz watch, the battery will eventually need replacement. When the seconds hand begins to jump in two-second intervals (end-of-life indicator), it's time to replace the battery. It is recommended to have this done by a professional watchmaker to ensure the water resistance seal is maintained.
