FAQs
What does 'automatic movement' mean for my watch?
Automatic movement means your watch is self-winding. It's powered by the motion of your wrist, so it doesn't require a battery. If you wear it regularly, it will keep running, but if left unworn for a few days, it will stop and need to be reset and manually wound.
How do I set the time and date on my AR60077 watch?
To set the time, pull the crown out to the furthest position, rotate to set, then push back in. To set the date, pull the crown out to the middle position, rotate to adjust, and avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM to prevent damage. Always push the crown back in completely after setting.
Is this watch waterproof? Can I swim with it?
Your watch is water-resistant up to 50 meters (5 ATM), which means it's suitable for daily wear, showering, and swimming in shallow water. It is not designed for diving, snorkeling, or high-impact water activities where water pressure could be significant.
How often should I wear my automatic watch to keep it running?
For optimal performance, we recommend wearing your watch for at least 8-10 hours daily. If you wear it less frequently or rotate with other watches, you may need to manually wind it periodically or use a watch winder.
Can I replace the leather strap?
Yes, the watch uses a standard 20mm band width, allowing you to easily replace the black leather strap with another 20mm strap of your choice to customize its look.
How do I care for the black leather strap?
Keep your leather strap dry and avoid prolonged exposure to water, sweat, or direct sunlight to prevent discoloration and damage. Clean it gently with a soft, damp cloth if needed, and consider using a leather conditioner periodically.
What kind of warranty does this watch come with?
The Emporio Armani AR60077 comes with a 2-year manufacturer's warranty, covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal use.
Troubleshooting
My watch has stopped running or is losing time.
This is common for automatic watches. Ensure you are wearing it consistently (8-10 hours daily). If not, manually wind the watch by turning the crown clockwise 20-30 times while it's pushed in. If the issue persists, avoid strong magnetic fields.
The date isn't changing at midnight or is stuck.
First, ensure the time is set correctly for AM/PM (advance past 12 to see if the date changes). If manually adjusting, avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM. If the date is stuck, try advancing the time past midnight then resetting. If persistent, manual adjustment during the forbidden period might be the cause, and a watchmaker may need to inspect it.
Condensation or moisture appears under the crystal.
This indicates a breach in the water-resistant seals. Immediately take the watch to a professional watch repair service to prevent further damage to the movement. Avoid further contact with water.
The leather strap feels stiff or uncomfortable.
New leather straps often need a 'break-in' period. Wear the watch regularly, and the leather will soften and conform to your wrist over time. You can also gently flex the strap to help accelerate the process.
The minute or hour hand is loose or misaligned.
This indicates a mechanical issue. Avoid trying to fix it yourself and take the watch to an authorized service center for inspection and repair under warranty.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
- Unboxing: Carefully remove your watch from its packaging.
- Initial Winding: If the watch is not running, gently manually wind it by turning the crown clockwise about 20-30 times while it is in its normal, pushed-in position. This will build up enough power reserve to start the movement.
- Setting the Time: Pull the crown out to the furthest position. Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise until the hands indicate the correct time. Push the crown back in completely to start the watch.
- Setting the Date: Pull the crown out to the middle position. Rotate the crown to adjust the date. *Important*: Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this is when the watch's internal mechanisms begin to change the date, and manual adjustment can damage the movement. Adjust the date to the previous day, then pull the crown to the furthest position and advance the time past midnight until the date changes to the current day. Then set the correct time. Push the crown back in completely.
Compatibility
This watch features a standard 20mm band width, allowing for easy customization with other 20mm straps if you wish to change its look. Its classic design makes it compatible with a wide range of personal styles and wardrobes.
Product Care
- Cleaning: Wipe the case and crystal regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and oils. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Leather Strap Care: Keep the leather strap dry. Prolonged exposure to water, sweat, or direct sunlight can cause discoloration, cracking, or damage. Clean with a specialized leather cleaner if necessary, and condition periodically.
- Water Resistance: While resistant to 50m, always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water. Avoid exposing the watch to hot water (e.g., hot tubs, saunas), as extreme temperature changes can compromise seals.
- Avoid Magnets: Keep your automatic watch away from strong magnetic fields (e.g., speakers, MRI machines, strong refrigerator magnets), as magnetism can affect the accuracy of the movement.
- Storage: If storing for an extended period, consider a watch winder to keep the movement running and avoid frequent resetting, or manually wind it before wearing.
