2.2 Setting the Time and Date

1. Pull out the Crown: Gently pull the crown (the knob on the side of the watch) to the outermost position. This will stop the second hand.

3. Set the Date: Push the crown in one click to the middle position. Rotate the crown to adjust the date subdial.
4. Set the Day: Rotate the crown in the middle position in the opposite direction to adjust the day subdial.
5. Push in the Crown: Once the time, day, and date are set, push the crown back into its normal operating position. The second hand will resume movement.

2.3 Adjusting the Bracelet

The black adjustable link bracelet may require sizing to fit your wrist comfortably. This process typically involves removing links. It is recommended to have this adjustment performed by a qualified jeweler or watch repair professional to prevent damage to the bracelet or watch.

3.1 Timekeeping

Your Armitron watch utilizes a Japanese quartz movement for precise timekeeping. The main hands indicate hours, minutes, and seconds. The subdials provide additional information:

• Day Subdial: Displays the current day of the week (e.g., SUN, MON, TUE).
• Date Subdial: Displays the current day of the month.
• 24-Hour Subdial: Indicates the time in a 24-hour format, useful for distinguishing AM/PM.

3.2 Water Resistance

This watch is water resistant to 50 meters (165 feet). This rating means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming. It is not suitable for diving, snorkeling, or prolonged water immersion. Avoid operating the crown or pushers when the watch is wet to prevent water ingress.

4. Maintenance and Care

4.1 Cleaning

To maintain the appearance of your watch, wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid using chemical cleaners, solvents, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the watch's finish.

4.2 Battery Replacement

The watch is powered by a product-specific battery. When the battery runs low, the watch may stop or the second hand may skip. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.

4.3 Storage

When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and strong magnetic fields. The original watch box is ideal for storage.
