Troubleshooting
Watch has stopped or is losing time.
The battery may be depleted and require replacement. Consult a professional watchmaker for battery replacement. Ensure the crown is pushed in fully.
Chronograph hands are not returning to zero.
This may require a recalibration of the chronograph mechanism. Please take the watch to an authorized Junghans service center or a qualified watchmaker.
Strap feels uncomfortable or is damaged.
Inspect the leather strap for signs of wear. If damaged, consider replacing it with a compatible strap of similar material and size. Ensure the strap is fastened correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Junghans Form C 40mm Black arrives with its quartz movement ready to operate. To set the time and date, gently pull the crown outwards. Turn the crown to adjust the hands to the correct time. If your watch has a date function, ensure you set the date correctly by advancing the time past midnight if necessary.
Compatibility: This watch is a standalone timepiece and does not require compatibility with other devices.
Care:
- Strap: Wipe the leather strap with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid exposing the leather to excessive moisture, heat, or direct sunlight, as this can cause it to dry out, crack, or fade. Consider using a leather conditioner periodically for maintenance.
- Case and Crystal: Clean the watch case and sapphire crystal with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the finish.
- Water Resistance: While rated at 5 bar, it is advisable to avoid prolonged submersion, steam, or saunas, as these can compromise the seals over time. Rinse with fresh water and dry thoroughly if the watch comes into contact with salt water or chemicals.
