FAQs

How do I set the time and date on my Sekonda Classic Watch - 1097?

Pull the crown out to the furthest position (two clicks) to adjust the time. For the day and date, pull the crown out to the first position (one click) and rotate it. Ensure the time is set outside the 9 PM to 3 AM window when adjusting the date to prevent mechanism damage.

Can I swim or shower with this watch?

No, the Sekonda Classic Watch - 1097 has a 50-meter water resistance rating, which means it is suitable for splashes, rain, and brief immersion like hand washing. It is not designed for swimming, showering, bathing, or any prolonged water activities.

What type of battery does this watch use, and how often should it be replaced?

Info needed: [Battery type specification]. The battery life typically ranges from 2 to 3 years, depending on usage. When the watch stops or the second hand begins skipping, it's time for a replacement. Always use a professional to replace the battery to maintain water resistance.

Do the hands glow in the dark?

Yes, the hour and minute hands of the Sekonda Classic Watch - 1097 are inlaid with luminescent material, allowing for visibility in low-light conditions after being exposed to light.

How should I clean the stainless steel case and bracelet?

Regularly wipe the watch case and bracelet with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. For more persistent marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure no water enters the watch. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Is the stainless steel bracelet adjustable for different wrist sizes?

Yes, the stainless steel bracelet can be adjusted by adding or removing links. For the best fit and to avoid damage, it is highly recommended to have this adjustment performed by a professional jeweler or watch technician.

Troubleshooting

Watch is not keeping accurate time or has stopped.

This is often a sign of a low battery for quartz watches. It is recommended to take the watch to a professional jeweler or watch technician for battery replacement. If the watch is new, ensure the plastic stopper under the crown has been removed and the crown is pushed in.

Day/Date display is not changing correctly at midnight.

Ensure the time is set correctly, especially the AM/PM cycle. If the watch is set to PM when it should be AM, the day/date change will occur at noon instead of midnight. Try advancing the time by 12 hours. If the issue persists, a professional check may be needed.

Moisture or condensation appears inside the watch crystal.

Immediately take the watch to a professional jeweler or watch repair center. This indicates a breach in the water resistance seal. Do not attempt to dry it yourself, as this can lead to further damage.

The bracelet feels too loose or too tight.

The stainless steel bracelet is adjustable by adding or removing links. It is highly recommended to visit a professional jeweler or watch technician to get the bracelet properly sized for your wrist.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setting the Time and Date

To set your Sekonda Classic Watch - 1097, pull the crown out to the furthest position (usually two clicks). Rotate the crown to adjust the hour and minute hands. For the day and date, pull the crown out to the first position (one click) and rotate it. Turning it one way will adjust the date, and the other way will adjust the day. Ensure you set the day/date when the hour hand is not between 9 PM and 3 AM to prevent damage to the mechanism. Once set, push the crown fully back into its original position.

Bracelet Adjustment

The stainless steel bracelet on your watch may need to be adjusted to fit your wrist comfortably. This typically involves removing links. For the best fit and to prevent damage, it is recommended to have this done by a professional jeweler or watch technician.

Water Resistance

Your watch is water resistant to 50 meters. This means it is protected against accidental splashes, rain, and short immersion in water, such as washing your hands. It is not suitable for swimming, showering, bathing, diving, or any activities involving prolonged water exposure or high-pressure water. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.

Care and Maintenance

  • Cleaning: To keep your watch looking its best, regularly wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. For more stubborn marks on the stainless steel, a slightly damp cloth can be used, ensuring no moisture enters the watch. Do not use chemical cleaners, as these can damage the finish.
  • Storage: When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and strong magnetic fields, which can affect its accuracy.
  • Battery Replacement: As this watch features a quartz movement, the battery will eventually need to be replaced. When the watch stops or the second hand starts skipping, it's an indication that the battery is low. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker to ensure the water resistance seal is maintained.
