Using this Shinola watch is a breeze. Just put it on your wrist like any other watch. To set the time, pull out the crown and turn it to the right time. Remember not to set the time between 9 PM and 3 AM as this might damage the movement. When it comes to maintenance, keep it away from strong magnetic fields as they can affect the accuracy of the automatic movement. Wipe the watch with a soft, dry cloth regularly to keep it clean. If you're going swimming, it can handle up to 10 ATM of pressure, but it's still a good idea to rinse it with fresh water after to remove any salt or chlorine. With proper care, this watch will serve you well for a long time.
