Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This is an automatic watch, meaning it is powered by the movement of the wearer's wrist. If the watch has stopped, you will need to wind the crown manually until you feel resistance. Then, set the time and date. Refer to the specific Tissot manual for detailed instructions on setting the time and date, especially regarding the date change mechanism to avoid damage.
Compatibility:
This is a standalone mechanical watch. Compatibility is primarily related to wrist size and strap preference. The integrated bracelet design means strap replacements are specific to Tissot PRX models.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the case, bracelet, and crystal gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Winding: If not worn daily, wind the crown manually about 30-40 turns clockwise before wearing to ensure it's fully powered.
- Water Resistance: While rated to 100m, avoid prolonged exposure to water and ensure the crown is fully pushed in or screwed down (if applicable to the model) before any water contact. Have the water resistance checked periodically, especially if exposed to saltwater or chemicals.
- Servicing: Mechanical watches typically require servicing every 3-5 years to maintain optimal performance. Consult an authorized Tissot service center.
