Getting Started
Unpacking Your Watch
Your Armitron watch comes securely packaged. Carefully remove the watch from its box. The package typically includes the watch with a pre-installed battery, a scratch-resistant mineral crystal lens, a two-tone stainless steel bracelet, and a jewelry clasp with an extender.

Setting the Time
- Locate the crown (the small knob on the side of the watch case).
- Gently pull the crown outwards until you feel a click. This is the time-setting position.
- Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to adjust the hour and minute hands to the correct time.
- Once the time is set, push the crown back into its original position against the watch case. This will start the watch movement.

Bracelet Adjustment
The watch bracelet is designed to fit a range of wrist sizes. If the bracelet is too loose, links may need to be removed for a comfortable and secure fit. Conversely, if it's too tight, the included extender can be used, or additional links may be required (sold separately).
- Professional Adjustment: For precise and safe adjustment, it is highly recommended to take your watch to a qualified jeweler or watch repair professional. They have the specialized tools and expertise to remove or add links without damaging the bracelet.
- DIY Adjustment (with caution): If you choose to adjust the bracelet yourself, you will need a watch link removal tool. Exercise extreme caution to avoid scratching the watch or damaging the pins. The watch comes with one snap-off link for minor adjustments.

Care and Maintenance
Water Resistance
Your Armitron watch is marked as "Water Resistant." This means it can withstand splashes or brief immersion in water, such as during hand washing or light rain. It is not suitable for swimming, showering, diving, or any prolonged water activities. Avoid pressing the crown or operating buttons when the watch is wet.
Cleaning Your Watch
To maintain the appearance of your watch, wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For more thorough cleaning, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents, as these can damage the finish.
Battery Replacement
Your watch is powered by a Japanese Quartz movement and includes one product-specific battery. When the watch stops running, it indicates the battery needs replacement. It is strongly recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure the water resistance seal is maintained and to prevent damage to the internal components.
Troubleshooting
- Watch Not Running:
Ensure the crown is fully pushed in against the watch case. If the watch still does not run, the battery may need replacement. - Inaccurate Time:
If the watch is consistently fast or slow, the battery may be low, or the movement may require servicing. Consult a professional watch technician. - Bracelet Discomfort:
If the bracelet feels too tight or too loose, refer to the "Bracelet Adjustment" section. Professional adjustment is recommended.
