FAQs

How long does the solar battery last?

The solar cell itself is designed to last for many years. The power reserve for the watch is up to 6 months on a full charge.

Do I need to replace the battery?

No, this watch uses a solar-powered rechargeable battery. It is charged by light, so no traditional battery replacement is necessary.

What is the water resistance rating and what does it mean?

The watch has a water resistance of 100 meters (10 bar). This means it is suitable for everyday use and shallow-water activities like swimming and snorkeling. It is not suitable for diving.

How do I clean the stainless steel bracelet?

Clean the bracelet with a soft, dry cloth. If needed, use a slightly damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Avoid using soaps or harsh chemicals.

What type of crystal does the watch have?

The watch features a curved sapphire crystal, which is highly resistant to scratches.

Is this a limited edition watch?

Yes, the product description indicates this is a Limited Edition model.

What is the case diameter?

The case diameter is approximately 42mm.

Troubleshooting

Second hand moves in two-second intervals.

The watch is indicating a low power reserve. Expose the watch to sufficient light for several hours to fully charge the battery.

Watch stops or loses time.

Ensure the watch has been adequately exposed to light. If the issue persists after charging, contact customer support.

Chronograph hands do not reset to zero.

Consult the user manual for the specific reset procedure for the Caliber 8A50 movement. This may involve holding down certain pushers.

Difficulty setting the time or date.

Ensure the crown is pulled out to the correct position for setting. Refer to the user manual for detailed instructions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reliable solar-powered movement reduces maintenance.
  • Durable construction with stainless steel case and bracelet.
  • Excellent legibility in all lighting conditions due to luminous elements.
  • Versatile design suitable for both casual and formal wear.
  • Practical chronograph function for timing events.

Cons

  • The 42mm case diameter might be too large for some individuals.
  • While 100m water-resistant, it is not suitable for scuba diving.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup:

  1. Expose the watch to a light source (natural or artificial) for several hours to fully charge the solar cell. The second hand may move in two-second intervals if the power reserve is low; continuous movement indicates a sufficient charge.
  2. Set the time and date by pulling out the crown to the appropriate position.

Compatibility:

This watch is a standalone timepiece and does not require compatibility with other devices. Its compatibility lies in its versatility with different straps or bracelets if desired, though it comes with a fitted stainless steel bracelet.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Water Resistance: Always ensure the crown is pushed in or screwed down completely after setting the time/date to maintain water resistance. Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to saltwater or chemicals.
  • Charging: Regularly expose the watch to light to maintain optimal power reserve. Avoid storing it in complete darkness for extended periods.
