Maintenance
Cleaning
To maintain the appearance of your watch, wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stainless steel, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Water Resistance
While your watch may be water-resistant, it is important to avoid exposing it to hot water, steam, or chemicals, which can compromise the seals. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.
Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by a quartz movement and requires a battery. When the battery runs low, the watch may stop or the second hand may jump in irregular intervals. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by an authorized Timex service center or a qualified watchmaker to ensure proper sealing and functionality.
Troubleshooting
Watch Not Running
- Check if the crown is fully pushed in.
- The battery may need replacement. Consult a professional watchmaker.
Chronograph Hands Not Resetting to Zero
- If the chronograph hands do not align to the zero position after resetting, consult the Timex service center for adjustment.
