Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Kenneth Cole Reaction Three-Hand Alloy Men's Watch, Model 10017695. This timepiece combines classic design with reliable quartz movement. This manual provides essential information for setting up, operating, and maintaining your watch to ensure its longevity and accurate performance.
Setup
Setting the Time
- Locate the Crown: The crown is the small knob located on the right side of the watch case.
- Pull Out the Crown: Gently pull the crown outwards to the first position. You may feel a slight click.
- Adjust the Time: Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to move the hour and minute hands to the desired time.
- Push In the Crown: Once the time is set, push the crown back into its original position against the watch case. This will start the watch movement.
Adjusting the Watch Band
This watch features a metal two-piece strap with a foldover clasp with push button for secure wearing. To adjust the length of the metal band, it may be necessary to remove or add links. This procedure often requires specialized tools and should ideally be performed by a qualified jeweler or watch technician to prevent damage to the band or clasp.

Operating
Basic Timekeeping
Your Kenneth Cole Reaction watch is equipped with a reliable quartz movement, providing accurate timekeeping. The watch features a three-hand analog display, indicating hours, minutes, and seconds. Once the time is set and the crown is pushed in, the watch will continuously display the current time.
Maintenance
Battery Replacement
This watch is powered by a battery. When the watch stops or the second hand begins to skip, it indicates that the battery needs to be replaced. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a professional watchmaker or authorized service center to ensure proper sealing and prevent damage to the movement.
Cleaning Your Watch
To maintain the appearance of your watch, regularly wipe the case and metal band with a soft, dry cloth. For more thorough cleaning of the metal band, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed immediately by a dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the watch's finish.
Water Resistance
Your watch is classified as "Water Resistant." This means it is designed to withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water, such as washing hands. It is not suitable for swimming, diving, or showering, as prolonged water exposure or high-pressure water jets can compromise the seals and damage the internal components. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.
Storage
When not wearing your watch, store it in a dry place, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and strong magnetic fields. Storing it in its original box or a watch case can help protect it from dust and scratches.
Troubleshooting
- Watch Not Running: Ensure the crown is fully pushed into the watch case. If the watch still does not run, the battery may need replacement.
- Inaccurate Time: If the watch is losing or gaining time significantly, the battery may be low, or the watch may have been exposed to a strong magnetic field. Consult a professional watchmaker for diagnosis.
