3. Setup

3.1 Initial Power-On and Battery

Your Skechers SR5132 watch comes with one product-specific battery included and pre-installed. The watch should be operational upon removal from its packaging. If the display is blank, gently press any button to activate it. If it remains unresponsive, refer to the Troubleshooting section.

3.2 Setting Time and Date

The watch features multiple buttons, typically labeled A, B, C, D (refer to Figure 2 for button locations). The exact procedure for setting time and date may vary slightly, but generally follows these steps:

1. Press the MODE button (often 'B' or 'C') repeatedly until the time setting mode is displayed (usually indicated by flashing digits).
2. Use the ADJUST or SET button (often 'A' or 'D') to select the digit you wish to change (e.g., hours, minutes, year, month, day).
3. Use the START/STOP or UP/DOWN button (often 'D' or 'A') to increase or decrease the selected value.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until all desired time and date settings are correct.
5. Press the MODE button again to exit the setting mode and return to the normal time display.

3.3 Adjusting the Watch Band

The black plated alloy bracelet features a 2-pusher foldover clasp closure. To adjust the band length, it may be necessary to remove or add links. This process typically requires specialized tools and is best performed by a professional jeweler or watch repair service to avoid damage to the band or clasp. The band is interchangeable with other Skechers 24mm watch straps.

4.6 Water Resistance Guidelines

The Skechers SR5132 watch is water resistant to 50 meters (165 feet). This means it is suitable for:

• Washing hands

It is not suitable for:

• Recreational swimming
• Diving
• Snorkeling

Important: Do not operate any buttons while the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise the water resistance seal.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning Your Watch

To maintain the appearance of your watch:

• Wipe the case and band regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
• For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and mild soap, then wipe dry immediately.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the watch's finish.

5.2 Battery Care

The watch uses a product-specific battery. When the display becomes dim or the watch stops functioning, it may be time to replace the battery. Battery replacement should ideally be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure the water resistance seal is properly re-established.

5.3 Water Resistance Care

To preserve the water resistance of your watch:

• Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature changes (e.g., hot showers followed by cold water).
