Battery Activation

Your Nixon Raider watch comes with a battery installed. If the watch is not running upon arrival, ensure the crown is fully pushed in. If the watch still does not operate, the battery may need to be replaced. It is recommended to have battery replacement performed by a qualified watch technician to maintain the watch's water resistance.

Operating the Watch

The Nixon Raider Quartz Watch is designed for straightforward operation. Once the time is set, the watch will continuously display the current time.

Water Resistance

• This watch is water resistant up to 165 feet (50 meters). This rating makes it suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, showering, and general water exposure.
• Do not operate the crown or any pushers while the watch is submerged in water. This can compromise the water resistance seals.
• Avoid exposing the watch to hot water or steam, as this can damage the seals.

Maintenance

Cleaning

• To clean the watch case and silicone band, wipe them with a soft, damp cloth.
• For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water and drying thoroughly.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaning materials, as these can damage the watch's finish or band.

Battery Replacement

When the watch battery runs low, the watch hands may stop or become erratic. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by an authorized Nixon service center or a professional watchmaker. This ensures the correct battery type is used and the water resistance seal is properly re-installed.

Storage

When not wearing the watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and strong magnetic fields.

Troubleshooting

• Watch Not Running:
  • Ensure the crown is fully pushed in against the watch case.
  • The battery may be depleted. Refer to the Battery Replacement section.
• Inaccurate Time:
  • A low battery can affect timekeeping accuracy.
  • Exposure to strong magnetic fields can temporarily affect the movement. Move the watch away from magnetic sources.
  • If the issue persists, professional inspection may be required.
• Condensation Under Crystal:
  • This indicates moisture has entered the watch. Seek professional service immediately to prevent damage to the movement.
