4. Operating the Watch

Your Armitron 20/4962BKTI watch is designed for simple operation. Once the time is set, the Japanese quartz movement will accurately keep time. No further adjustments are typically needed unless the time needs to be reset due to battery replacement or travel across time zones.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning:

To maintain the appearance of your watch, wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, dry cloth. For more thorough cleaning of the stainless steel, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

5.2 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. Avoid operating the crown while the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise the water resistance seal.

• Do not press buttons or pull the crown when the watch is wet.
• Avoid exposure to hot water, such as in showers or saunas, as this can damage seals.
• If the watch is exposed to saltwater, rinse it with fresh water and dry thoroughly.

5.3 Battery Replacement:

The watch is powered by one product-specific battery. When the watch stops running, the battery will need to be replaced. It is recommended to have battery replacement performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.

6. Troubleshooting

• Watch not running: Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If it is, the battery may need replacement.
• Time is inaccurate: This could indicate a low battery or a need for servicing. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in after setting the time.
• Condensation inside the crystal: This indicates a breach in the water resistance. Seek professional servicing immediately to prevent internal damage.
