The watch charges itself as you move around while wearing. However, if you don't want to wait or if you haven't been wearing your watch for a while, you can also wind it by hand. It has a crown in the normal position. It takes approximately 30 clockwise rotations to fully wind the watch. Right before the watch is fully wound, you'll feel some resistance. Please keep turning the crown a little while longer. You can also find the instructions for your automatic watch under Downloads.
