Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
- Remove Protective Film: Gently peel off any clear protective films from the watch face, case back, and bracelet.
- Adjust Bracelet (Professional Recommended): For optimal comfort and security, the stainless steel bracelet may need to be sized by removing links. It is highly recommended to have this done by a professional jeweler or watch repair service to prevent damage.
- Set Time: Pull the crown (small knob on the side of the case) out to its furthest position. Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise until the hands display the correct time. Push the crown back in fully to start the watch mechanism.
Compatibility
The HUGO #BRIGHT Grey Ion Plated Bracelet Watch boasts a unisex design and classic styling, making it a versatile accessory for anyone. Its neutral grey tones and contemporary 42mm case width ensure it complements a wide range of personal styles and wardrobes, from formal to casual.
Product Care & Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the watch case and bracelet regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt, sweat, and oils. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, which can damage the ion plating and crystal.
- Water Resistance: While water resistant to 50 meters, avoid exposing the watch to hot water (e.g., showers, saunas), chemical solvents, or prolonged submersion. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in to maintain water resistance.
- Protecting the Finish: Ion plating can be durable but is not entirely scratch-proof. Avoid contact with abrasive surfaces or sharp objects to preserve the grey finish. Store the watch in a soft pouch or box when not in use to prevent scratches.
- Battery Replacement: The quartz movement is powered by a battery. When the watch stops running, it indicates the battery needs replacement. This should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and function, especially regarding water resistance.
- Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Do not expose the watch to extreme hot or cold temperatures, as this can affect battery life and the movement's accuracy.
- Magnetic Fields: Keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields (e.g., speakers, MRI machines), which can interfere with the quartz movement's accuracy.
