How to Use Your Mr. Eatwell

Setting the Time

1. Unscrew the crown counter-clockwise (if screw-down) until it springs out.
2. Pull the crown out one click for the date, two clicks for the time.
3. Rotate to set. Push back in fully and screw down clockwise to seal.

Winding It Up

Automatic movements wind themselves as you wear them. If your watch has been sitting for a couple of days, give the crown 30–40 turns clockwise (in the closed position) to get it running, then wear it a few hours to fully wind.

Bracelet Sizing

Your watch ships with the bracelet at full length. Use the included bracelet adjustment screwdriver to remove links from the side opposite the clasp until it fits with a finger's width of slack. Detailed walk-through is in the video above.

Strap Swap (Quick-Release)

Every Mr. Eatwell case takes 20mm quick-release spring bars — slide the small lever on the spring bar with a fingernail to pop the band off, drop a new strap in, and click it home. No tools needed.

Leather Strap Care

Steel and rubber straps shrug off water — leather does not, so treat it like a good pair of shoes. No swimming, showering, or dunking it: water, salt, and sweat break the fibers down and take the stitching with them. If it does get caught in a splash or a downpour, pat it dry and let it air-dry away from direct heat — a radiator or hairdryer will crack it faster than the water would. Wipe it down with a dry cloth now and then, and a little leather conditioner a few times a year keeps it supple. Heading to the pool, gym, or beach? That's what quick-release is for — pop the leather off, throw on steel or rubber, and swap it back when you're dry. And whatever the strap, always make sure the crown is fully screwed down before the watch gets near water.

Every watch is covered by a 2-year warranty on movement, dial, hands, and manufacturing defects. Something off? E-mail helpme@mreatwell.com — we fix it for free unless you fuck it up. In which case, we'll still fix it, we'll just charge.
