Setup
1. Initial Battery Activation (if applicable)
Your NIXON October Tide A4741258 watch comes with a pre-installed battery. In some cases, a plastic stopper may be present under the crown to preserve battery life during shipping. Remove this stopper before setting the time.
2. Setting the Time
- Pull out the crown: Gently pull the crown (the knob on the side of the watch) to the outermost position. You may feel a click.
- Adjust the hands: Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to move the hour and minute hands to the correct time.
- Push in the crown: Once the time is set, push the crown back into its original position. Ensure it is fully pushed in to maintain water resistance.
3. Adjusting the Bracelet
The stainless steel bracelet may require adjustment for a comfortable fit. This typically involves removing or adding links. It is recommended to have this procedure performed by a professional jeweler or watch repair service to avoid damage to the bracelet or watch.
Operation
Reading the Time
The NIXON October Tide A4741258 watch displays time using traditional hour, minute, and second hands on an analog dial. Read the time by observing the position of these hands relative to the hour markers.
Water Resistance
Refer to the watch's case back or specifications for its specific water resistance rating. Generally, dress watches are designed for everyday use and may withstand splashes or brief immersion, but are not suitable for swimming or diving unless explicitly stated otherwise. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in to maintain water resistance.
Maintenance
Cleaning Your Watch
- Wipe the watch case and bracelet with a soft, dry cloth regularly to remove dust and fingerprints.
- 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 watch's finish.
Battery Replacement
The NIXON October Tide A4741258 is powered by a Swiss Quartz movement, requiring a battery. When the watch stops or the second hand begins to jump erratically (End-of-Life indicator), the battery needs replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by an authorized NIXON service center or a qualified watchmaker to ensure proper sealing and 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. The original watch box is ideal for storage.
