Important Note:

Leaving the watch in direct sunlight or close to a lamp for extended periods may cause the watch to become hot. Handle with care under such conditions.

4. Maintenance

4.1 Water Resistance

This watch is water resistant to 30 meters (100 feet). This means it can withstand splashes or brief immersion in water, such as during hand washing or light rain. However, it is not suitable for swimming, bathing, showering, or any prolonged water activities.

4.2 Strap Care

The durable nylon fabric strap is designed for longevity. To clean the strap, gently hand wash it with mild soap and water, then allow it to air dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing, which could damage the fabric.

4.3 Battery Life

The Timex Weekender watch is powered by a Lithium Metal battery (included). These batteries are known for their long lifespan, providing reliable operation for extended periods. When the battery eventually needs replacement, it is recommended to have it done by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.

5. Troubleshooting

5.1 Loud Ticking Sound

Some users may notice that the Timex Weekender watch produces a distinct ticking sound. This is a characteristic of the watch's movement and is considered normal. If the sound is unusually loud or changes significantly, it may indicate an issue, and professional inspection is recommended.

5.2 Watch Becomes Hot

As mentioned in the operating instructions, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or strong artificial light sources can cause the watch case to heat up. This is normal. If the watch becomes excessively hot without such exposure, discontinue use and consult customer support.
