Impostare

Carica iniziale e impostazione dell'ora

Your Fossil Townsman ME3171 is an automatic watch, meaning it is powered by the motion of your wrist. It does not require a battery. For initial setup or if the watch has stopped due to lack of movement:

1. Carica manuale: Gently rotate the crown (located on the right side of the watch case) clockwise approximately 20-30 times. This will provide enough power reserve to start the watch.
2. Impostazione dell'ora: Pull the crown out to the furthest position. Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the hour and minute hands to the correct time. Push the crown back in to its original position to start the watch.

Regolazione del cinturino in pelle

The watch comes with a genuine leather strap with a tang buckle closure. To adjust the fit:

1. Insert the pin of the buckle into the desired hole on the strap for a comfortable fit.
2. Ensure the watch is snug but not too tight on your wrist to allow for proper movement and comfort.

Funzionamento dell'orologio

Movimento automatico

The watch is powered by an automatic mechanical movement. This means it winds itself through the natural motion of your arm. When worn daily, the watch should maintain its power reserve. If the watch is not worn for an extended period (typically 36-40 hours), it may stop and require manual winding as described in the "Setup" section.

Resistenza all'acqua

This watch has a water resistance rating of 50 meters (5 ATM). This means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, showering, or washing hands. It is non Adatto per immersioni, snorkeling o sport acquatici ad alto impatto. Assicurarsi sempre che la corona sia completamente inserita prima di qualsiasi contatto con l'acqua.

Note: Leather straps are generally not designed for prolonged water exposure and may degrade if frequently wet.

Manutenzione

Pulizia

• Pulire regolarmente la cassa e il vetro dell'orologio con un panno morbido, asciutto e privo di lanugine per rimuovere polvere e impronte digitali.
• For the leather strap, avoid harsh chemicals. If it gets wet, allow it to air dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight.

Magazzinaggio

When not wearing the watch, store it in a cool, dry place, preferably in its original box or a watch case, to protect it from dust and scratches. If storing for an extended period, consider a watch winder to keep the automatic movement running and lubricated.

Evitare i campi magnetici

Automatic watches can be affected by strong magnetic fields, which may cause them to run inaccurately. Keep your watch away from strong magnets found in speakers, refrigerators, and certain electronic devices.

Risoluzione dei problemi

• Orologio non in esecuzione: If the watch has stopped, it likely needs to be wound. Manually wind the crown 20-30 times or wear the watch for several hours to build up the power reserve.
• Cronometraggio impreciso: Automatic watches are mechanical and may not be as precise as quartz watches. A deviation of +/- 15-30 seconds per day is generally considered acceptable. If the deviation is significantly higher, or if the watch stops frequently despite regular wear, it may require servicing.
• Condensa sotto il cristallo: If you notice condensation under the watch crystal, this indicates moisture ingress. Stop using the watch immediately and seek professional service to prevent further damage to the movement.
