Setup
Setting the Time
Your Armitron watch is equipped with a reliable Japanese-quartz movement. To set the time:
- Pull the crown (the small knob on the side of the watch case) out to the second position.
- Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to move the hour and minute hands to the desired time.
- Once the time is set, push the crown back into its original position to engage the movement and start the watch.
Bracelet Adjustment
The gunmetal adjustable link bracelet can be sized to fit your wrist comfortably. For precise adjustment, it is recommended to have links added or or removed by a professional jeweler. Improper adjustment can damage the bracelet or watch.

Operating Your Watch
Reading the Time
The watch features a classic analog display with hour, minute, and second hands. The genuine diamond accent at the 12 o'clock position provides a clear orientation point.
Water Resistance
Your Armitron watch is water resistant to 50 meters (165 feet). This rating indicates that the watch is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming. It is not designed for diving or snorkeling. Avoid operating the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged.

Maintenance and Care
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 harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the finish.
Battery Replacement
Your watch is powered by a quartz battery. The typical battery life is several years. When the watch stops running, it indicates the battery needs replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure the water resistance seal is properly maintained.
Storage
When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. The original watch box provides excellent protection for storage.
