Setup
Setting the Time and Date
- Pull the Crown: Gently pull the crown (the knob on the side of the watch) out to the second click position.
- Set the Time: Rotate the crown to move the hour and minute hands clockwise until the desired local time is displayed. Ensure you differentiate between AM and PM for correct date change.
- Set the Date: Push the crown in one click to the first click position. Rotate the crown to adjust the date. If your watch has a quick-set date feature, this will allow you to change the date without rotating the hour hands through 24 hours.
- Push the Crown Back: Once the time and date are set, push the crown back into its original position to start the watch.
Setting the GMT Hand (24-Hour Hand)
The GMT hand allows you to track a second time zone in a 24-hour format.
- Pull the Crown: Pull the crown out to the first click position (date setting position).
- Adjust GMT Hand: Rotate the crown in the opposite direction of date setting (or as indicated by your specific model) to move the 24-hour GMT hand to the desired second time zone. The GMT hand moves independently of the main hour hand in this position.
- Push the Crown Back: Once the GMT hand is set, push the crown back into its original position.
Using the Rotating Bezel
The bidirectional rotating bezel can be used to track a third time zone or as a simple timer.
- Third Time Zone: Rotate the bezel so that the desired 24-hour mark aligns with the GMT hand. This will show the time in a third zone relative to the GMT hand.
- Simple Timer: Align the '0' or '24' mark on the bezel with the minute hand. The elapsed time can then be read from the bezel as the minute hand progresses.
Operating Your Watch
Wearing and Adjusting the Band
The watch features a genuine leather band with an adjustable buckle closure. Adjust the buckle to ensure a comfortable fit on your wrist. The watch should be snug enough not to slide freely but not so tight as to restrict circulation.

Water Resistance
Your Timex Waterbury Traditional GMT watch is water resistant up to 100 meters (10 ATM). This means it is suitable for showering, swimming, and snorkeling. It is not recommended for scuba diving or high-impact water sports. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.
Quartz Movement
This watch operates with a precise Quartz movement, powered by a battery. Unlike automatic watches, it does not require winding or continuous wear to maintain timekeeping. The battery is included and pre-installed.

Maintenance
Cleaning Your Watch
- Case and Crystal: Wipe the stainless steel case and mineral crystal with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Leather Band: Clean the leather band with a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, use a specialized leather cleaner sparingly. Avoid prolonged exposure to water, direct sunlight, and extreme temperatures to prevent damage and discoloration.
Battery Replacement
When the watch stops running, it indicates that the battery needs to be replaced. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure the water resistance seal is maintained.
Storage
When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong magnetic fields. The original gift box can be used for storage.

- Incorrect Time/Date: Re-set the time and date following the instructions in the 'Setting the Time and Date' section. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in after setting.
- Condensation Under Crystal: If condensation appears under the crystal, it may indicate a breach in the water resistance seal. Contact Timex customer support or an authorized service center immediately.
