Armitron Men's 204591GYTT Two-Tone Expansion Band Dress Watch User Manual

Introduction

Thank you for choosing the Armitron Men's 204591GYTT Two-Tone Expansion Band Dress Watch. This manual provides essential information for the proper setup, operation, maintenance, and care of your new timepiece. Please read it thoroughly to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your watch.

Setup

Setting the Time and Date

Your Armitron watch features a single crown for adjusting both the time and the day/date display.

1. Pull the Crown Out: Gently pull the crown (the small knob on the side of the watch case) out to the first click position. This position is typically for setting the date.
2. Set the Date: Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to adjust the date. If your watch has a day display, rotating in the opposite direction may adjust the day. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can interfere with the automatic date change mechanism.
3. Pull to Second Click: Pull the crown out further to the second click position. This position is for setting the time. The second hand will typically stop moving.
4. Set the Time: Rotate the crown to move the hour and minute hands. Advance the hands past 12 o'clock to determine if it's AM or PM for the date change. Continue rotating until the desired time is set.
5. Push Crown In: Once the time and date are set, push the crown back in completely to its original position. This will restart the watch movement and ensure water resistance.

Adjusting the Expansion Band

The Armitron 204591GYTT features a comfortable expansion band designed to fit a range of wrist sizes. While it does not require traditional clasp adjustments, if the fit is too loose or too tight, professional adjustment by a jeweler may be necessary to remove or add links. Do not attempt to force the band or remove links yourself without proper tools and knowledge, as this may damage the band.

Operating Your Watch

Basic Timekeeping

Once the time and date are set and the crown is pushed in, your watch will operate continuously. The quartz movement ensures accurate timekeeping. The watch displays hours, minutes, seconds, and the day/date.

Water Resistance

This watch is water resistant to 165 feet (50 meters). This rating means the watch is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, but not for diving or snorkeling. It is important to note that water resistance is not a permanent condition and may eventually be compromised by aging gaskets or accidental shocks to the crown or crystal. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before exposing the watch to water.

• Do NOT operate the crown while the watch is wet or submerged.
• Avoid exposing the watch to hot water, steam, or extreme temperature changes, as this can damage the seals.
• If the watch is exposed to saltwater, rinse it gently with fresh water and dry it thoroughly.

Maintenance

Cleaning Your Watch

To maintain the appearance of your watch, regularly wipe the case and band with a soft, dry cloth. For more thorough cleaning, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the finish.

Battery Replacement

Your Armitron watch is powered by a quartz battery. The battery life typically ranges from 2 to 3 years, depending on usage. When the watch stops running, it indicates that the battery needs to be replaced. It is highly recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker or authorized service center to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.

Storage

When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and strong magnetic fields. Keeping it in its original box or a watch case can help protect it from dust and scratches.

Troubleshooting

• Watch Not Running:

  Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If it is, the battery may need replacement. Consult a professional watchmaker.

• Incorrect Time/Date:

  Refer to the "Setting the Time and Date" section to re-adjust. Ensure the crown is pushed in completely after setting.

• Condensation Under Crystal:

  This indicates a loss of water resistance. Immediately take the watch to a qualified watchmaker for inspection and repair to prevent further damage to the movement.

• Band Discomfort:

  If the expansion band is too tight or too loose, professional adjustment by a jeweler may be required to add or remove links.
