2.2 Setting Time and Date
Your watch features a multi-function dial with sub-dials for day, date, and 24-hour time. To set the watch:
- Time Setting: Pull the crown (the knob on the side of the watch) out to the furthest position. Rotate the crown to move the main hour and minute hands to the correct time. Push the crown back in to start the watch.
- Date Setting: Pull the crown out to the middle position. Rotate the crown to adjust the date sub-dial.
- Day Setting: While the crown is in the middle position, rotate it in the opposite direction to adjust the day sub-dial.
- 24-Hour Sub-dial: This sub-dial typically synchronizes with the main time setting and does not require separate adjustment.
Note: Avoid setting the date or day between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can interfere with the automatic date change mechanism. If the watch is not running, ensure the crown is fully pushed in.
2.3 Bracelet Adjustment
The gold-tone bracelet is adjustable. For optimal comfort and fit, it may be necessary to remove or add links. It is recommended to have this adjustment performed by a qualified jeweler or watch technician to prevent damage to the bracelet or watch.

- Date Sub-dial: Displays the current day of the month.
- 24-Hour Sub-dial: Indicates the current hour in a 24-hour format, useful for distinguishing AM/PM.

3.2 Water Resistance
Your Armitron watch is water resistant to 50 meters (165 feet). This rating means the watch is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming. It is not suitable for diving or snorkeling. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.
4. Maintenance
4.1 Care and Cleaning
- Clean your watch regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For the bracelet, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying.
- Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, or strong magnetic fields.
- Do not expose the watch to harsh chemicals, solvents, or detergents, as these can damage the case, crystal, or bracelet.
4.2 Battery Replacement
This watch is powered by one LR44 battery. When the watch stops running, it indicates the battery needs replacement. Battery life varies depending on usage. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a professional watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.
5. Troubleshooting
- Watch Not Running: Ensure the crown is fully pushed in. If the watch still does not run, the battery may need replacement.
- Incorrect Time/Date: Refer to Section 2.2 for instructions on how to correctly set the time, day, and date.
- Condensation Inside Crystal: This may indicate a loss of water resistance. Have the watch inspected by a professional immediately.
