To set the time, pull the crown out to the second click. Turn the crown clockwise or counterclockwise to set the desired time. Push the crown back in to start the watch.
If your watch stops, try shaking it gently to recharge the kinetic battery. If it does not resume working, it may require a new capacitor or servicing by a professional.
Wear the watch regularly to allow the rotor to convert movement into energy. Alternatively, manually swing the watch back and forth about 200 times to generate a charge.
Time loss may be due to insufficient charging or a need for maintenance. Ensure the watch is worn regularly and consider having it checked by a professional if the issue persists.
It is recommended to service your watch every 3-5 years to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
Check the water resistance rating of your specific model. If it is at least 100 meters, it should be suitable for swimming. Always ensure the crown is secured before exposure to water.
Pull the crown to the first click and turn it clockwise to set the date. Make sure not to adjust the date between 9 PM and 3 AM to avoid damaging the mechanism.
The power reserve indicator shows the amount of energy stored in the watch's capacitor. Activate it by pressing the button at the 2 o'clock position.
A depleted capacitor might be the issue. Consider having it replaced by a professional watch technician to restore charging capability.
Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the watch. For tougher grime, dampen the cloth slightly with water. Avoid using soap or solvents, and ensure the crown is secured if cleaning a water-resistant model.
