Setup Instructions
Setting Time and Date
- To set the date: Gently pull the crown out to the first click position. Rotate the crown either clockwise or counter-clockwise until the desired date is displayed in the date window.
- To set the time: Pull the crown out further to the second click position. The second hand will stop. Rotate the crown to move the hour and minute hands to the correct time. Push the crown back in fully to restart the watch and engage the timekeeping.
Your watch is powered by a quartz analog movement and includes a pre-installed Lithium Metal battery.
Operating Instructions
Using INDIGLO Night-Light
To activate the INDIGLO night-light, simply press and hold the crown. The entire dial will illuminate with a soft, even glow, allowing for easy time reading in dark conditions. Release the crown to turn off the light.
Reading 24-Hour Time
The watch dial features both standard 12-hour Arabic numerals and smaller inner numerals for 24-hour (military) time. For example, 1 PM is indicated by the 13, 2 PM by the 14, and so on, up to 24 (midnight).
Water Resistance
This watch is water resistant to 50 meters (165 feet). This rating means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, showering, or washing hands. It is not designed for diving, snorkeling, or prolonged water immersion. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any water exposure.

Maintenance
General Care
- Clean the watch case and mineral glass crystal with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- For the fabric strap, mild soap and water can be used for cleaning. Allow it to air dry completely.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures or sudden temperature changes.
Battery Replacement
Your watch uses 1 Lithium Metal battery. When the watch stops or the second hand begins to jump erratically (indicating low battery), it is time for a battery replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.
Troubleshooting
- Watch not running: Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If it is, the battery may need replacement.
- Time is inaccurate: Ensure the crown is fully pushed in. If the issue persists, the battery may be low or the movement may require servicing.
- Date not changing: Verify the time is set correctly, passing through midnight to advance the date. If the date is stuck, try manually advancing it using the crown's first click position.
