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:
- Press the MODE button (often 'B' or 'C') repeatedly until the time setting mode is displayed (usually indicated by flashing digits).
- 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).
- Use the START/STOP or UP/DOWN button (often 'D' or 'A') to increase or decrease the selected value.
- Repeat steps 2 and 3 until all desired time and date settings are correct.
- 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. Operating the Watch

In normal mode, the watch displays the current time (hours, minutes, seconds) and often the day of the week and date. Pressing the MODE button cycles through different display modes.
4.2 Using the Alarm

- Press the MODE button to exit.
4.3 Activating the Chime
The chime function, also known as the hourly time signal, can be activated or deactivated. Typically, this is done in the alarm setting mode or a dedicated chime setting mode. Look for an icon resembling a bell or a 'CHIME' indicator on the display. Use the ADJUST or START/STOP button to toggle it on or off.
4.4 Operating the Chronograph Stopwatch
Your watch features a 1/1100 chronograph stopwatch for measuring elapsed time.
- Press the MODE button until the stopwatch mode is displayed (often indicated by 'STW' or 'CHRONO').

4.5 Using the Backlight
To illuminate the display in low-light conditions, press the LIGHT button (often 'A' or 'D'). The backlight will typically stay on for a few seconds before automatically turning off.
4.6 Water Resistance Guidelines

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

To maintain the appearance of your watch:
- Wipe the case and band regularly with a soft, dry cloth.

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.
