Operating

Reading the Time

The watch displays time using traditional hour, minute, and second hands on an analog dial. The luminous grey hands enhance readability in low-light conditions.

Water Resistance

Your Timex Waterbury watch is water-resistant to 100 meters (330 feet). This rating makes it suitable for showering, swimming, and snorkeling. It is important to note that this watch is not designed for scuba diving. To maintain water resistance, ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water. Do not operate the crown or any pushers while the watch is wet or submerged.

Maintenance

Cleaning

• Case and Crystal: Wipe the watch case and mineral crystal with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Fabric Strap: For the green fabric strap, gentle cleaning with mild soap and water may be performed. Ensure the strap is thoroughly rinsed and completely dried before wearing the watch again.

Battery Replacement

This watch is powered by a quartz movement, which requires a battery. When the watch stops running or the second hand begins to jump erratically (often indicating a low battery), it is time for a battery replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and functionality.

Water Resistance Seal Check

To maintain the specified water resistance, it is advisable to have the watch's seals checked periodically, especially after any service such as battery replacement. This should be performed by an authorized service center.

Troubleshooting

• Watch Not Running: Ensure the crown is fully pushed into its normal operating position. If the watch still does not run, the battery may need replacement.
• Incorrect Time Display: Verify that the crown has not been accidentally pulled out. If it has, reset the time according to the 'Setting the Time' instructions and push the crown back in firmly.
• Condensation Under Crystal: If condensation or moisture appears under the watch crystal, this may indicate a compromise in the watch's water resistance. Have the watch inspected by a qualified technician immediately to prevent further damage.
