Maintenance
Water Resistance
The Timex Command Shock Digital Watch is water-resistant up to 100 meters (330 feet). This makes it suitable for recreational swimming and snorkeling. It is not recommended for scuba diving or high-impact water sports.
Cleaning
To clean your watch, wipe it with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, which can damage the watch's finish or seals.
Battery Replacement
The watch uses one Lithium Metal battery. When the display dims or functions become erratic, it may be 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.
Crystal Care
The watch features an acrylic crystal. While durable, acrylic can be prone to scratches. Avoid contact with sharp objects and abrasive surfaces. Minor scratches can often be buffed out with specialized acrylic polish.
Troubleshooting
- Display is blank or dim: Check the battery. If the battery is low, replace it.
- Buttons are unresponsive: Ensure the watch is not in a locked mode. If issues persist, a soft reset (refer to specific model instructions if available, or remove/reinsert battery) may be necessary.
- Time is inaccurate: Re-set the time and date. If inaccuracy continues, the battery may be low or the watch may require servicing.
