4. Maintenance
4.1 Water Resistance
The Timex Weekender watch is water-resistant to 30 meters (100 feet). This means it is suitable for splashes, rain, or brief immersion in water. It is not recommended for swimming, showering, or diving, as prolonged exposure to water pressure or hot water can compromise the seals.
4.2 Strap Care
The nylon strap can be cleaned with mild soap and water. Allow it to air dry completely before reattaching to the watch. For leather straps (if applicable), avoid prolonged exposure to water and direct sunlight to prevent damage and discoloration.
4.3 Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by 1 Lithium Metal battery (included). Battery life can vary, but typically lasts several years. When the watch stops, it indicates the battery needs replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.
5. Troubleshooting
5.1 Watch Not Ticking
If your watch is not ticking upon arrival, ensure the plastic crown guard has been removed and the crown is fully pushed in. If it still does not tick, the battery may be depleted and require replacement.
5.2 Loud Ticking Sound
Some users may notice a distinct ticking sound from the watch movement. This is a characteristic of certain quartz movements and is generally considered normal for this model. It does not indicate a defect or malfunction.
