Setup

Battery Installation (If Required):

Your watch comes with a CR2 battery installed. If the watch is not functioning, the battery may need to be replaced. It is recommended to have battery replacement performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.

Setting Analog Time:

1. Pull the crown (center knob) out to the furthest position.
2. Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to move the hour and minute hands to the correct time.
3. Once the time is set, push the crown back into its original position to start the watch movement.

Setting Digital Time and Date:

The digital functions are typically controlled by the pushers. Refer to the specific instructions below for common digital settings. The exact sequence may vary slightly; consult the full Timex manual for your movement if detailed steps are needed.

1. Press the MODE button (usually one of the side pushers) repeatedly until the digital display shows the time setting mode (often indicated by flashing digits).
2. Use the SET/ADJUST button (another pusher) to select the digit you wish to change (e.g., hours, minutes, 12/24-hour format).
3. Use the START/STOP button (another pusher) to increase the value of the flashing digit.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for minutes, year, month, and day.
5. Once all settings are correct, press the MODE button to exit the setting mode.

Operating

The hour and minute hands indicate the current time in a traditional format.

Using Digital Functions:

• Mode Button: Cycles through different digital modes (Time, Date, Alarm, Chronograph, Timer).
• Set/Adjust Button: Used to select items for adjustment within a mode.
• Start/Stop Button: Used to start/stop functions (e.g., chronograph) or increment values during setting.

Indiglo Night-Light:

To illuminate the watch face in low-light conditions, press and hold the crown or a designated pusher (refer to your watch's specific button layout). The Indiglo feature will light up the dial for a few seconds.

Alarm Function:

2. Press the START/STOP button to start timing.
3. Press the START/STOP button again to stop timing.
4. Press the RESET button (often the same as SET/ADJUST) to clear the chronograph to zero.

Maintenance

Cleaning Your Watch:

Wipe the watch case and crystal with a soft, damp cloth. For the leather strap, use a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the watch's finish or strap.

Water Resistance:

While your watch may be water-resistant, it is not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to water, such as swimming or showering, unless the specific water resistance rating (e.g., 50m, 100m) is clearly indicated on the watch and suitable for such activities. Always ensure the crown is pushed in completely to maintain water resistance.

Leather Strap Care:

Leather straps can be affected by moisture, sweat, and direct sunlight. To prolong the life of your leather strap:

• Avoid prolonged exposure to water.
• Clean with a dry, soft cloth.
• Allow the strap to air dry if it gets wet; do not use direct heat.
• Avoid contact with cosmetics, oils, and perfumes.

Troubleshooting

Watch Not Running / Digital Display Blank:

• Check if the crown is fully pushed in.
• The battery may need replacement. Consult a professional watch technician.

Incorrect Time Display:

• Refer to the "Setting Analog Time" and "Setting Digital Time and Date" sections to reset the time.
• Ensure the watch has not been exposed to strong magnetic fields, which can affect accuracy.

Indiglo Not Working:

• Ensure the battery has sufficient power.
• Confirm you are pressing the correct button for Indiglo activation.
