Hi! My boyfriend recently is getting into watches so for his birthday I ordered a boss watch from Amazon for him. It’s from the actual boss store on Amazon so I’m not worried about the legitimacy of it. However after reading a couple of reviews, some people said the watch was dead when they received it. There is a bit of plastic on the crown (hope that’s the right terminology I’m so new to this) but is there a way I can tell if the battery is working? I don’t even know how to set the watch up so should I take it to a jewellers to check? Would hate to give my boyfriend the watch and the battery is dead.
The plastic on the crown is to prevent the battery from starting. Take it off and push the crown in and it should start to work. However, if as you say, your bf is into watches then a Boss watch might not be what he’s looking for. They are fashion watches, and without seeming like a watch snob, not what guys who are into watches would consider a real watch.
