FAQs
Can I wear this watch in the shower?
No, it is recommended to remove the watch before showering, swimming, or washing dishes to maintain the integrity of the leather strap and the water resistance seal.
How often should I change the battery?
The L178 quartz movement typically requires a battery change every 2 to 3 years depending on usage.
Can I replace the leather strap with a metal bracelet?
Yes, the DolceVita line is designed for versatility. You can purchase compatible Longines bracelets or straps from an authorized retailer.
What does the 3BAR water resistance mean?
3BAR indicates that the watch is water-resistant to 30 meters. This covers rain and splashes but is not suitable for immersion.
Does the watch have a warranty?
Longines provides a manufacturer's warranty. Please refer to your warranty card included in the box for specific coverage duration and terms.
Is the dial crystal scratch-resistant?
The DolceVita collection typically uses sapphire crystal, which is highly resistant to scratches.
Troubleshooting
The watch has stopped running
The battery likely needs to be replaced. Take the watch to an authorized Longines service center to ensure the case seal is correctly restored.
Date window is showing the wrong time of day
Advance the time forward by 12 hours. Because the date mechanism is on a 24-hour cycle, it may be set to PM instead of AM.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set the time and date, pull the crown to the first position to adjust the date, and the second position to adjust the hour and minute hands. Push the crown back firmly to ensure the seal remains intact. Since this watch is rated for 3BAR, avoid submerging it in water; it is designed to withstand minor splashes or rain, but should be kept dry. To clean the case, use a soft, dry microfiber cloth. If the leather strap becomes damp, wipe it immediately with a dry cloth and let it air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent cracking.
