FAQs

Is this watch waterproof?

It is water-resistant for daily convenience, meaning it can handle splashes or rain, but it is not designed for swimming or diving.

Does the watch show the day of the week?

Yes, the digital display features a dedicated section for the day of the week and the date.

How do I turn on the light?

Press the light button on the side of the watch to activate the LED afterglow.

Can I adjust the strap size myself?

Yes, the adjustable clasp design allows you to resize the metal band to fit your wrist without special tools.

Does it have a countdown timer?

No, this model features a 1/100-second stopwatch instead of a countdown timer.

Is the display easy to read in the dark?

Yes, the built-in LED light provides sufficient illumination for the digits in dark conditions.

Troubleshooting

The display is dim or flickering

This often indicates a low battery; have the battery replaced by a professional watch technician.

The alarm is not sounding

Ensure the alarm and hourly time signal functions are enabled in the alarm mode settings.

Buttons are difficult to press

Check for debris or dried residue around the buttons and gently clean the area with a soft, slightly damp brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your watch, use the side-mounted buttons to cycle through the mode selection. The primary button allows you to toggle between the time, alarm, and stopwatch functions. When setting the time, use the mode button to select the specific digit and the adjustment button to increment it. Regarding care, while the watch is water-resistant for daily use (splashes, rain), it should be wiped down with a soft, dry cloth after exposure to sweat or saltwater. Avoid pressing buttons while the watch is submerged to maintain the integrity of the water-resistant seals.
