Setting Your Watch
- Hold your watch with the dial facing you and the crown (knob on the side of the case) to the right of the dial.
- Remove the plastic stopper from the post between the case and the crown.
- Pull the crown away from the watch, this will enable you to turn the crown which will rotate the Hour and Minute hand or disc.
- Rotate the hands or discs to the current or desired time. Need help identifying which hand is which? The hour will be on the bottom (closest to the dial), the minute will be in the middle and the second will be on top (closest to the glass). You can also head to the product page for your watch to identify each hand.
- Once your hands or discs are in place, press the crown all the way in toward the watch to activate the battery. If your watch has a second hand it should start to move at this time.
Adjusting & Changing Band
Mesh Band Tutorial
Metal Linked Band Tutorial
In most cases, your watch band is attached to the case with a spring loaded pin. To replace the band, simply use an eyeglass screwdriver, tweezers or other small tool and press the pin toward the center of the band. Your pin will release. Be careful not to lose the pin as it may have a tendency to eject rapidly as it is spring loaded. To replace with a new band simply reverse the process by inserting the spring loaded pin into the end cavity of the watchband. Press or “pull” the pin toward the center and gently release into the indentation of the watch end.
Replacing Battery
It is not recommended that you replace your battery by yourself as the back can be difficult to remove and can scratch easily. We recommend that you bring it to a jeweler or professional who has a tool that snaps the case back into place without damaging the back while ensuring water-resistance. Email us at info@projectswatches.com if you need to know what battery is compatible with your watch.
