FAQs

Does this watch need a battery?

No, this is an automatic mechanical watch powered by the movement of your wrist.

Can I wear this watch while swimming?

Yes, it is rated for 100m water resistance, but ensure the crown is screwed down completely before exposure to water.

What is the movement accuracy?

The Miyota 8215 is a robust mechanical movement typically accurate within -20 to +40 seconds per day.

Is the leather strap replaceable?

Yes, the watch uses standard lug widths, allowing you to swap the strap for other leather, silicone, or metal bands.

How long does the power reserve last?

When fully wound, the Miyota 8215 provides approximately 42 hours of power reserve.

What is the benefit of sapphire glass?

Sapphire glass is significantly harder than mineral glass, making it extremely difficult to scratch during daily activities.

Troubleshooting

The watch stopped running

The automatic movement requires kinetic energy from wrist movement. If inactive for over 40 hours, manually wind the crown to restart.

Date is incorrect

Pull the crown to the first click (usually halfway) and rotate to adjust the date. Note: Avoid date adjustment between 9 PM and 3 AM.

Moisture inside the watch

Ensure the screw-down crown is fully tightened. If moisture persists, contact a certified watchmaker to prevent internal corrosion.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable sapphire crystal glass
  • Reliable Japanese automatic movement
  • Versatile 100m water resistance rating
  • Clear visibility with Super-Luminova
  • Exhibition back for mechanical appreciation

Cons

  • Leather strap may require a break-in period
  • Non-hacking movement (seconds hand does not stop)
  • May feel heavy for those used to quartz watches

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To start the watch, unscrew the crown counter-clockwise until it pops into the winding position. Wind the crown clockwise 20-30 times to build a power reserve. To set the time, pull the crown out to the final click. After setting, push the crown back in and screw it down firmly clockwise to ensure the water-resistant seal is fully engaged. Clean the sapphire crystal and case periodically with a soft, lint-free cloth. Since the watch features a leather strap, avoid prolonged submersion in water to maintain the material's integrity.
