3. Battery Information
Your Armitron watch is powered by a Japanese quartz movement and includes a pre-installed battery. The battery life can vary, but typically lasts for several years. If the watch stops running, it may indicate that the battery needs replacement. Battery replacement should be performed by a professional to maintain the watch's water resistance and prevent damage to the internal components.
Operating Your Watch
Basic Timekeeping
Your Armitron watch is designed for reliable timekeeping. Once the time is set, the watch will continuously display the current time using its analog hands. The watch features a protective mineral crystal dial window for durability.
Water Resistance
This watch is water resistant to 50 meters (165 feet). This rating means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, but it is not designed for diving or snorkeling. Avoid operating the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged to prevent water ingress.

Maintenance
Cleaning Your Watch
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, as these can damage the finish or crystal.
Battery Replacement
When the battery needs replacement, it is highly recommended to take your watch to an authorized Armitron service center or a reputable jeweler. They have the necessary tools and expertise to replace the battery correctly and re-seal the watch to maintain its water resistance.
Water Resistance Care
Even with a water resistance rating, it is advisable to avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperature changes, such as going from a hot shower directly into cold water, as this can affect the seals. After exposure to saltwater, rinse the watch with fresh water and dry it thoroughly.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Watch is not running. | Dead battery or crown is pulled out. | Push the crown fully in. If it still doesn't run, the battery may need replacement. Consult a professional. |
| Time is incorrect. | Time was not set properly or crown was accidentally pulled out. | Re-set the time as per the "Setting the Time" instructions. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in. |
| Bracelet is too loose/tight. | Incorrect number of links for wrist size. | Visit a jeweler or watch repair shop to have links added or removed. |
| Condensation under crystal. | Water ingress due to damaged seal or improper use. | Immediately take the watch to a professional for inspection and repair to prevent further damage. |
