Initial Setup
To ensure battery life during shipping, your Timex watch arrives with a crown guard. Follow these steps to activate your watch and set the time.
Step 1: Remove the Crown Guard
This image displays the side profile of the watch, illustrating the small plastic guard positioned under the crown, which prevents the watch from running and conserves battery life.
Gently pull out the small plastic guard located between the watch case and the crown (the knob on the side of the watch).
Step 2: Push the Crown In
Once the crown guard is removed, push the crown fully inwards towards the watch case. The second hand should begin to move, indicating the watch is now active.

- Push the crown back in to position 0 to start the watch.
Setting the Date:
- Pull the crown out to the middle position (position 1).
- Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to adjust the date.

Care and Maintenance
