2.2 Setting Time and Date
Your watch features a day and date function. To set the time and date:
- Pull the Crown: Gently pull the crown (the small knob on the side of the watch case) out to the first or second position. Refer to the diagram below for crown positions.
- Setting the Date: If the crown is in the first position, rotate it clockwise or counter-clockwise to adjust the date.
- Setting the Day: If the crown is in the first position, rotate it in the opposite direction to adjust the day. (Note: Some watches may require advancing the time past midnight to change the day).
- Setting the Time: Pull the crown out to the second position. Rotate the crown to move the hour and minute hands to the correct time. Be mindful of AM/PM when setting the day/date.
- Push the Crown Back: Once the time, day, and date are set, push the crown back into its original position to start the watch movement.

3. Operating
3.1 Timekeeping
Your Armitron watch is powered by a Japanese-quartz movement, known for its accuracy and reliability. Once set, the watch will continuously display the current time, day, and date.
3.2 Water Resistance
This watch is water resistant to 50 meters (165 feet). This rating means it is generally suitable for short periods of recreational swimming. It is not suitable for diving or snorkeling. Avoid operating the crown or pushers when the watch is wet to prevent water intrusion.

4. Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning
To maintain the appearance of your watch, wipe the case and band regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For more stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry cloth. Avoid using chemical cleaners, as they may damage the watch's finish.
4.2 Battery Replacement
The watch uses one product-specific battery. When the watch stops running, it indicates the battery needs replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure the water resistance seal is properly maintained.
4.3 Storage
When not in use, store your watch in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. The original packaging box can be used for storage.

5. Troubleshooting
- Watch Not Running: Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If it is, the battery may need replacement.
- Incorrect Time/Date: Refer to Section 2.2 "Setting Time and Date" to re-adjust. Ensure the crown is pushed back in after setting.
- Condensation Under Crystal: This may indicate a breach in the water resistance seal. Avoid further exposure to water and seek professional service immediately.
- Luminous Hands Not Glowing: The luminous material requires exposure to light (natural or artificial) to charge. If they do not glow after sufficient exposure, this is not typically a malfunction but rather a characteristic of the material.
