Mini Kyomo Watch The Basics | Scarlet

Watches in general are sophisticated and delicate objects.

At Mini Kyomo we tried our best to make our products the most resistant possible, but still some care is needed in order to keep them in good shape and working as long as possible.

HOW TO START A CLOCK

 To start a watch follow the steps below:

• Remove the plastic clock stopper placed between the crown and the case (if any)
• Press in the crown

HOW TO ADJUST TIME

To set or adjust time please follow the steps below:

• Pull out the crown
• Adjust the time by turning the crown in the desired direction.
• Push the crown back in to the normal position (be sure that the crown touches the case in order to guarantee the resistance to water).

 EASY CLICK STRAPS 

 TO INSTALL AN EASY CLICK STRAP

Align one side of the protruding pin on the strap with the hole on the inside of the lug. Then move the knob inward to depress the pin and hold while aligning the pin with the hole on the other lug. Once aligned, release the knob. Pull on the strap to ensure the pin is secure.

TO REMOVE AN EASY CLICK STRAP

Move the knob inward to depress the pin and pull the strap off.

WASHING INSTRUCTIONS FOR STRAPS  

You can remove regular stains from the straps by washing them with a standard (not too aggressive) soap for clothes.

In order to be washed the straps need to be removed from the watch

Remove the spring bars when washing in the washing machine (it is not possible to remove the spring bars in the easy click straps, wash them only by hands).

Straps without Easy Click can be removed and put back in place only with the use of a specific tool and the experience of a watch repair shop. For this reason you need to visit a watch shop, any watch shop can help you to remove the straps. DO NOT try to pull the straps by hand, that will break the spring bar that keeps strap and case attached.

QUARTZ MOVEMENT

All MK watches work thanks to a proven JAPANESE quartz movement. A quartz movement utilises a battery as its primary power source.

CHANGING BATTERY

Because the battery is inserted at the factory its actual service life, once in your possession, may be less than the specified period. Usually a battery lasts around 2 years. When the battery expires, make sure to replace it as soon as possible to prevent any malfunction.

For battery replacement, you need to visit a watch shop.

WARNING 

This product contains a Button Battery that is intended to be replaced by a specialist technician.

Do not attempt to remove or replace the battery yourself. A button battery can cause serious injury if swallowed or placed inside any part of the body

Keep new and used button batteries away from children. Dispose of used button batteries immediately.

If you think button batteries might have been swallowed or placed inside any part of the body, seek immediate medical attention.

WATER RESISTANCE

 Every Mini Kyomo watch has a minimum water resistance of 3 ATM.

This detail is always engraved in the back of the case.

3 ATM resistance means that the watch resists ONLY to accidental contact with splashes of water or rain, but it is not designed for wearing while swimming, bathing or diving.

SHOCK RESISTANCE

General activities will not affect your watch, but be careful not to drop or hit it against hard surfaces as this may cause damages.

MAGNETISM AND CHEMICALS

The watch will be adversely affected by strong magnetism. Keep the watch away from close contact with magnetic objects.

Be careful not to expose the watch to solvents (e,g.,alcohol and gasoline), mercury (e.g., from a broken thermometer), cos- metic sprays, detergents, adhesives or paints; case and straps may deteriorate, become discoloured or damaged.

Are they water resistant?
All Mini Kyomo watches are 3atm water resistant. That doesn't mean they can be used for diving down to 30 mt, as a wrong common belief would suggest.

Mini Kyomo watches resist to rain and accidental splashes and they cannot be used for showering or swimming.

Size:
The adjustable straps fit all wrists with a circumference from 13 up tp 19,5 cm . That cover all kids starting from 3 years and all women.

Changing the Battery:
At Mini Kyomo we use silver oxide button batteries, unexpensive and easy to find, that don't contains hazardous chemicals even if they need to be always disposed properly once changed.

Battery can properly be changed only in a watch store.

My watch has stopped working?
The first thing to do when a watch start to run is to visit a watch store and check if the battery is still charged. If the battery is still working probably there is of a problem with the quartz movement. In this last case please contact us directly before taking any further action. Remember Mini Kyomo watches resist to rain and accidental splashes and they cannot be used for showering or swimming.

Warranty?
All MINI KYOMO watches carry an international warranty on functional manufacturing defects and quartz movement defects for two years starting from the date of purchase.

* Damages by accidents
* If no purchase proof document is available- Battery replacement, whenever the battery stop to function (batteries are not covered by warranty)
Please note that every piece is assembled and finished by hand, thus it could possibly slightly differ from the images on our webstore.

Metallic parts, case and glass are the easiest to treat in case of dirty. You can use a duster or a cloth with a little amount of alcohol to rub the stains. Avoid the contact of the alcohol with the straps.
The straps are certainly the part of the watches more likely to get dirty. A gentle soap with mild temperature water rubbed with a cloth, should work great. A brush can be used if the stain require a little more energy.
