3. Setup

3.1. Setting Analog Time

1. Pull the crown (the knob on the right side of the watch) out to the furthest position.
2. Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the hour and minute hands to the correct time.
3. Push the crown back in to its original position to start the analog movement.

3.2. Setting Digital Time and Date

Refer to the specific button labels (e.g., MODE, SET) on your watch. The exact sequence may vary slightly, but generally involves:

1. Press the MODE button repeatedly until the digital display shows the time setting mode (often indicated by flashing digits).
2. Use the SET button (or a dedicated adjustment button) to select the digit you wish to change (e.g., hours, minutes, year, month, day).
3. Use the START/STOP or INDIGLO button to increment the selected digit.
4. Once all settings are correct, press the MODE button to exit the setting mode.

3.3. Adjusting the Strap

The nylon strap is designed for easy adjustment. Thread the strap through the buckle and loops to achieve a comfortable and secure fit on your wrist. Ensure the watch is not too tight to allow for proper circulation, nor too loose to move freely.

5. Maintenance

5.1. Water Resistance

Your watch is water resistant to 50 meters (165 feet). This means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, showering, or washing hands. It is not suitable for diving, snorkeling, or high-impact water sports. Do not operate buttons or the crown while the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise the water resistance.

5.2. Cleaning

To clean your watch, wipe the case and strap with a soft, damp cloth. For the nylon strap, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water and air drying. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the watch's finish.

5.3. Battery Replacement

The watch is powered by 1 Lithium Metal battery (included). When the digital display dims or the watch stops functioning, the battery may need replacement. Battery replacement should ideally be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.

6. Troubleshooting

• Watch not running/digital display blank: The battery may be depleted. Refer to Section 5.3 for battery replacement.
• Time is inaccurate: Ensure the crown is fully pushed in. If the issue persists, the battery may be low, or the watch may require service.
• Indiglo® not lighting: Check battery level. If the battery is low, the Indiglo® function may be affected first.
• Water inside the watch: Immediately take the watch to a professional for inspection and repair to prevent further damage.
