FAQs

What type of movement does the Philipp Plein The $keleton 44mm watch have?

This watch features an automatic mechanical movement, which means it is powered by the motion of the wearer's wrist and does not require a battery.

How do I set the time on this watch?

Gently pull the crown (the small knob on the side of the case) outwards to the second position and turn it to set the hour and minute hands. Push the crown back in fully when finished.

Is this watch suitable for swimming?

The watch has a 5 ATM water resistance rating, which means it can withstand splashes and brief immersion in water, but it is not recommended for swimming, diving, or prolonged water exposure.

What material is the strap made of?

The strap is made from bio TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane), a durable and flexible material.

Does the watch come with a warranty?

Information regarding the specific warranty period should be sought from the retailer or Philipp Plein directly, as warranty terms can vary.

How should I clean the watch?

Clean the watch case and strap with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid using soaps, solvents, or abrasive materials.

Can I wear this watch for formal events?

The watch features a bold and distinctive design with a bright red color, making it more suitable for casual or semi-formal occasions. Its aesthetic might be too pronounced for very formal settings.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped running.

The automatic movement may have run down. Manually wind the watch by turning the crown clockwise 30-40 times. Ensure you wear the watch regularly for at least 8-10 hours a day to keep it powered.

Timekeeping is inaccurate.

Automatic watches can experience minor variations. If accuracy is significantly off, ensure the watch is fully wound and worn consistently. Extreme temperatures or magnetic fields can also affect accuracy; keep the watch away from strong magnets.

Strap feels uncomfortable.

The bio TPU strap is designed for comfort, but individual fit can vary. Ensure the strap is not too tight or too loose. Clean the strap regularly to maintain its flexibility.

Condensation under the crystal.

This could indicate a breach in water resistance. Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature changes or water. If condensation persists, have the seals checked by a qualified watch technician.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Distinctive and bold design for a statement look.
  • Automatic movement offers convenience and reliability.
  • Durable bio nylon and TPU materials ensure longevity.
  • High contrast dial for clear time visibility.
  • Comes in a unique branded gift box, suitable for presents.

Cons

  • The bold red color may not be suitable for formal or understated occasions.
  • 44mm is a large watch face, potentially too big for smaller wrists.
  • Automatic watches require regular wear or winding to maintain accuracy.
  • Water resistance is limited, not suitable for aquatic activities.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: As an automatic watch, the The $keleton 44mm requires initial winding if it has stopped. To wind it, gently rotate the crown (located on the side of the watch case) clockwise about 30-40 times. Once running, wearing the watch daily will keep it powered. The crown can also be pulled out to set the time; ensure you push it back in fully after setting.

Compatibility: This is a standalone analog watch and does not require connection to other devices.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the case and strap with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the materials.
  • Water Resistance: While rated for 5 ATM, avoid prolonged submersion, high-velocity water, or hot water. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before exposure to moisture.
  • Storage: Store the watch in its original skull gift box or a soft pouch when not in use to protect it from scratches and dust. If storing for a long period, consider using a watch winder to keep the automatic movement running.
