Setup
Setting Time and Date
- Pull the Crown: Gently pull the crown (the small knob on the side of the watch case) out to the first click for date adjustment, or to the second click for time adjustment.
- Adjust the Date: If adjusting the date, turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise until the correct date is displayed in the date window.
- Adjust the Time: If adjusting the time, turn the crown to move the hour and minute hands until the desired time is set. Ensure you set the correct AM/PM.
- Push the Crown Back: Once the time and date are set, push the crown back into its original position against the watch case to start the watch movement.
Adjusting the Bracelet Size
The bracelet of your Armitron watch can be adjusted in two ways: by repositioning the pin in the clasp or by removing links. For precise adjustment, it is recommended to consult a professional jeweler. However, minor adjustments can be made at home with care.
Method 1: Adjusting the Clasp Pin
- Open the Clasp: Fully open the watch clasp.
- Locate the Pin: Identify the small pin that secures the clasp to the bracelet. This pin typically sits in one of several small holes on the clasp.
- Remove the Pin: Using a thin, pointed object (like a thumb tack, push pin, or a specialized watch tool), gently push the pin inward from its current position until it disengages. Be careful not to lose the pin.
- Reposition the Pin: Align the pin with a different sizing opening on the clasp to achieve your desired fit (tighter or looser). Push the pin down until it fits securely inside the edge of the clasp. You should feel a click when it has latched securely.

Method 2: Removing Links (Advanced)
For more significant adjustments, individual links can be removed from the bracelet. This method typically requires a specialized watch link removal tool. Look for small arrows on the underside of the links, indicating the direction to push the pins out. It is highly recommended to have this done by a professional jeweler to avoid damaging the watch.

Operating Your Watch
Your Armitron watch is powered by a reliable Japanese Quartz movement, ensuring accurate timekeeping. The watch features an analog display with luminous hands for visibility in low light conditions.
- Time Display: The hour, minute, and second hands indicate the current time.
- Day/Date Window: A small window on the dial displays the current day of the week and the date.
Maintenance
Water Resistance
This watch is water resistant to 165 feet (50 meters). This means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, but not for diving or snorkeling. Avoid operating the crown or pushers while the watch is wet to prevent water intrusion.
