Extended Product Information

FAQs

How long does the solar battery last?

The V192 solar movement has a power reserve of up to six months when fully charged. This means it can keep time for up to six months in complete darkness after a full charge.

Do I need to change the battery?

No, the V192 solar movement is powered by light, eliminating the need for traditional battery replacements. It charges from both natural and artificial light sources.

What is the 'Youngtimer' inspiration?

The design is inspired by the aesthetic of sports cars from the 1980s and 1990s, known as 'Youngtimers,' reflected in the dial colors, graphic detailing, and overall sporty yet refined look.

Is this watch suitable for swimming?

With 100-meter water resistance, the watch is suitable for swimming and showering. However, avoid prolonged immersion in salt water or high-velocity water sports.

How do I adjust the bracelet?

The stainless steel bracelet features a fold-over clasp with a micro-adjustment mechanism, allowing for small changes in length to achieve a comfortable and secure fit on the wrist.

What is the accuracy of the V192 movement?

The V192 solar movement offers dependable accuracy of plus or minus 15 seconds per month.

Troubleshooting

Second hand is not moving or moving erratically

The watch may be low on power. Expose it to a strong light source for several hours. If the issue persists after a full charge, contact customer support.

Chronograph hands are not resetting to zero

Ensure the crown is pulled out to the correct position for resetting. Refer to the user manual for specific instructions on resetting the chronograph hands, which may involve a specific sequence.

Watch stops frequently despite light exposure

Ensure the watch is exposed to sufficient light, especially if used in low-light conditions. Check the power reserve indicator (if applicable on the specific dial) or allow for a longer, more intense charging period.

Minor scratches on the crystal

The sapphire crystal is highly scratch-resistant, but not entirely immune. Minor surface marks may be difficult to remove without professional polishing. Avoid abrasive contact.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Innovative solar-powered movement requires no battery changes.
  • Distinctive and attractive mint green dial design inspired by classic sports cars.
  • Durable construction with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.
  • Practical chronograph functions with a tachymeter scale.
  • Comfortable 39mm case size suitable for various wrist sizes.
  • Reliable 100m water resistance for everyday use.

Cons

  • The 39mm case size may be considered small by some modern watch wearers.
  • As a solar watch, it requires regular exposure to light to maintain charge.
  • Micro-adjustment on the bracelet might not offer infinite sizing options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup: The V192 solar movement is designed for minimal interaction. To ensure optimal performance, expose the watch to a bright light source (natural or artificial) for several hours until the second hand moves normally. If the watch has stopped, a full charge may take up to 12 hours of continuous light exposure.

Compatibility: This watch is self-contained and does not require compatibility with other devices.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Winding: The watch charges via light. Manual winding is not required or possible for the solar movement.
  • Water Resistance: Rinse the watch with clean water after exposure to salt water or chlorinated water. Ensure the crown is pushed in or screwed down before exposure to water.
  • Storage: If storing the watch for an extended period (more than a few weeks), ensure it is fully charged before storing it in a dark place. Periodically expose it to light to prevent the power reserve from depleting completely.
