Your Armitron Sport 20/5062 watch features a robust resin case, an acrylic dial window, and a comfortable resin band. It includes multiple buttons for accessing various functions. The watch face displays both analog time (hours, minutes, seconds) and digital information.
Familiarize yourself with the buttons, typically labeled MODE, RESET, ST/STP, and EL (for electroluminescent backlight).
Setup and Initial Configuration
1. Setting the Digital Time and Date
- Press the MODE button repeatedly until the time setting mode is displayed (often indicated by flashing digits).
- Use the RESET button to select the digit or setting you wish to adjust (e.g., seconds, minutes, hours, 12/24-hour format, month, date, day of week).
- Use the ST/STP button to increase the selected value. Hold it down for faster adjustment.
- Once all settings are correct, press the MODE button to exit the setting mode.
2. Setting the Analog Time
The analog hands are typically set independently. Locate the crown on the side of the watch case. Pull the crown out to the first or second position (depending on the model) and rotate it to adjust the analog hands to match the digital time. Push the crown back in to secure the setting.
3. Battery Information
The watch requires 1 Lithium Metal battery (included). Battery life varies with usage, especially with frequent backlight activation. When the display dims or functions become erratic, it may be time for a battery replacement.

Maintenance and Care
Water Resistance
Your Armitron Sport 20/5062 watch is water resistant to 100 meters (330 feet). This rating means it is generally suitable for swimming and snorkeling. However, it is not recommended for scuba diving or high-impact water sports. Avoid pressing buttons underwater to prevent water ingress.

Cleaning
Clean your watch regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For resin bands, mild soap and water can be used. Ensure the watch is completely dry before storage or further use. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Battery Replacement
Battery replacement should ideally be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure the water resistance seal is properly maintained. Improper battery replacement can compromise the watch's water resistance.
Troubleshooting
- Digital Display is Blank or Dim: The battery may be low or depleted. Replace the battery.
- Analog Hands Do Not Move: Check if the crown is pushed in completely. If the issue persists after setting, the battery may need replacement or there could be a mechanical issue.
- Time is Inaccurate: Ensure the time was set correctly. If both analog and digital times are consistently inaccurate, the watch may require servicing.
- Water Inside the Watch: If condensation or water droplets appear inside the watch, immediately take it to a service center. This indicates a compromised water resistance seal.
- Buttons Not Responding: Ensure the watch is not in a locked mode (if applicable) or that no debris is obstructing the buttons.
