FAQs

Does the Sport Automatic need a battery?

No, the Sport Automatic features an automatic mechanical movement that is powered by the motion of your wrist. It does not use a battery.

How do I keep the automatic movement wound?

The best way to keep an automatic watch wound is to wear it regularly. The natural movement of your arm while wearing the watch powers the mainspring. If you don't wear it daily, a watch winder can be used, or you can manually wind it by shaking it gently.

What is the water resistance of this watch?

The specific water resistance rating should be checked on the product's detailed specifications or case back. Standard "sport" watches often have ratings suitable for splashes or brief immersion, but not for deep diving.

Can I swim or shower with the Sport Automatic?

This depends on the specific water resistance rating of your model. Check the product details. If it is rated for swimming (e.g., 50m or 100m), then yes, but avoid operating the crown while wet. If not, it is best to remove the watch before swimming or showering.

How accurate is an automatic watch compared to a quartz watch?

Automatic watches are generally less accurate than quartz watches. An automatic movement's accuracy can vary, typically ranging from -20 to +40 seconds per day, though higher-end movements can be much more precise.

How do I adjust the stainless steel bracelet?

Bracelet adjustment typically involves removing or adding links. This is best done by a professional jeweler or watch technician to ensure a proper and safe fit.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped or is losing time.

Ensure the watch is being worn regularly to keep the automatic movement wound. If not worn, manually wind it or shake it gently for 30 seconds to start. If the issue persists, the watch may require servicing.

Date is not changing correctly.

Avoid changing the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the movement. If the date is stuck, consult the user manual for the correct procedure or seek professional assistance.

Bracelet feels loose or tight.

The bracelet links can often be adjusted by a jeweler or watch technician to achieve a perfect fit. Some bracelets may have micro-adjustment clasps.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Sport Automatic features an automatic movement, which means it winds itself through the motion of your wrist. To start the watch if it has stopped, gently shake it for about 30 seconds or manually wind the crown (if accessible and designed for it - consult specific model instructions).

Compatibility: This is a standalone mechanical watch and does not require electronic compatibility with other devices.

Care: To ensure the longevity and accuracy of your Sport Automatic:

  • Winding: Wear the watch for at least 8-10 hours a day. If not worn daily, store it crown-up and ensure it's fully wound periodically.
  • Cleaning: Clean the stainless steel case and bracelet with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  • Water Resistance: While designed for everyday wear, check the specific water resistance rating for activities like swimming or showering. Avoid exposing it to water beyond its rating.
  • Magnetic Fields: Automatic watches can be affected by strong magnetic fields. Keep the watch away from strong magnets.
