FAQs

What type of movement does this watch use?

This Festina Diver watch features a reliable Miyota 2115 quartz movement.

Is this watch suitable for actual scuba diving?

With 200 meters of water resistance and a unidirectional bezel, it is suitable for recreational diving. However, for professional or deep diving, always ensure your equipment meets the specific requirements for your activity.

How do I maintain the water resistance of the watch?

Always ensure the crown is securely screwed down or pushed in before exposure to water. After swimming in saltwater or chlorinated pools, rinse the watch with fresh water and dry it thoroughly. Have the seals checked periodically by a watchmaker.

What is the benefit of a sapphire crystal?

Sapphire crystal is exceptionally hard and offers superior resistance to scratches compared to mineral glass or acrylic, helping to keep your watch face looking clear and new.

How large is the watch case?

The approximate case diameter is 45.7mm and the thickness is 14.1mm.

What does a unidirectional rotating bezel do?

A unidirectional rotating bezel on a dive watch allows you to track the elapsed time underwater. It can only be turned counter-clockwise, which is a safety feature to prevent accidental extension of dive time if the bezel is knocked.

Where is this watch manufactured?

Festina is a Swiss brand, known for its quality timepieces.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped working

The battery may be depleted. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker, who can also check the seals for water resistance.

Date is not changing correctly

Ensure you have set the date correctly, avoiding the hours between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can interfere with the date-changing mechanism. Consult the manual for specific instructions on date setting for the Miyota 2115 movement.

Bezel is difficult to turn

Dirt or debris may have accumulated around the bezel. Gently clean around the bezel with a soft brush and mild soap, then rinse with fresh water and dry. If the issue persists, consult a watchmaker.

Condensation under the crystal

This indicates a potential breach in water resistance. Do not operate the crown or buttons. Remove the watch from any water exposure immediately and take it to a qualified watchmaker for inspection and repair.

Pros and Cons

  • Scratch-resistant sapphire crystal for long-lasting clarity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This watch comes ready to wear with its quartz movement pre-installed. Ensure the crown is pushed in or screwed down to maintain water resistance. To set the time and date, pull the crown out to the appropriate position (usually the first or second click for date, and the furthest for time) and adjust accordingly. Remember to screw the crown back down firmly after setting.

Compatibility:

This is a standalone timepiece and does not require compatibility with other electronic devices.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe the stainless steel case, bracelet, and crystal with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the finish.
  • Water Resistance: Always ensure the crown is securely screwed down or pushed in before exposing the watch to water. Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to saltwater or chlorine and dry thoroughly.
  • Avoid Magnetic Fields: Prolonged exposure to strong magnetic fields can affect quartz movement accuracy. Keep the watch away from speakers, computers, and other magnetic sources.
  • Battery Replacement: The Miyota 2115 movement uses a standard watch battery. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker to ensure the seals are maintained for water resistance.
