Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your watch performs correctly, keep the dial exposed to light regularly to maintain the charge. If the watch stops, expose it to bright light (preferably sunlight) for several hours to initiate recharging. For the stainless steel bracelet, if you need to adjust the sizing, it is recommended to visit a professional watchmaker to avoid scratching the links. To clean, use a soft, dry cloth to remove oils, or a damp cloth with mild soap for the bracelet. Avoid exposing the watch to extreme heat or strong magnetic fields, as these can impact the accuracy of the internal quartz movement.
