2. Justering af båndet
The watch band is designed with a secure clasp mechanism. If the band is too loose or too tight, it may require adjustment by adding or removing links. This process typically requires specialized tools and is best performed by a professional jeweler or watch repair service to avoid damage to the watch or band. The watch features a unique clasp design that is less prone to accidental unhooking compared to traditional side-clip clasps.
Vedligeholdelse og pleje
1. Vandafvisende
Your Bulova watch is rated as 30M Vandbestandig. This means the watch is resistant to splashes and brief immersion in water, such as rain or hand washing. It is ikke egnet for swimming, showering, diving, or any water sports where it may be subjected to continuous water pressure or submersion. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in to maintain water resistance.
2. Rensning
To maintain the appearance of your watch, especially the crystal accents, regularly wipe it with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. For more thorough cleaning, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed immediately by a dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive materials, or ultrasonic cleaners, as these can damage the finish or crystals.
3. Udskiftning af batteri
As a quartz watch, your timepiece is powered by a battery. The battery life typically ranges from 2 to 3 years, depending on usage. When the watch stops running, it indicates that the battery needs to be replaced. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by an authorized Bulova service center or a qualified watchmaker to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.
Fejlfinding
- Uret kører ikke: Kontroller, om kronen er trykket helt ind. Hvis den er det, skal batteriet muligvis udskiftes.
- Dato ændres ikke: Ensure the time is set correctly, especially the AM/PM cycle. The date typically changes around midnight. If the date changes at noon, you may need to advance the time by 12 hours.
- Kondensation under krystal: This indicates a loss of water resistance. Immediately take the watch to a qualified service center to prevent further damage to the movement.
