5. Setting the 24-Hour Sub-dial: This sub-dial usually synchronizes with the main hour hand and cannot be set independently. It indicates whether the main time is AM or PM.

Adjusting the Bracelet

The two-tone bracelet is adjustable. For proper fit, it may require the removal or addition of links. It is recommended to have this adjustment performed by a professional jeweler to prevent damage to the watch or bracelet.

Water Resistance

Your Armitron 20/5313 watch is water-resistant to 50 meters (165 feet). This rating means it can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water, such as during recreational swimming. It is not suitable for diving, snorkeling, or prolonged water activities. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.

Maintenance

Cleaning

To maintain the appearance of your watch, wipe it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For the bracelet, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry one. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the finish.

Battery Replacement

The watch is powered by a standard watch battery. When the watch stops running, it indicates the battery needs replacement. It is highly recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker or service center to ensure the watch's water resistance is maintained and to prevent damage to the internal components.

Care for Water Resistance

• Do not operate the crown or pushers when the watch is wet or submerged in water.
• Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature changes, as this can affect the seals.
• Have the water resistance seals checked periodically, especially after battery replacement, to ensure continued protection.

Troubleshooting

Watch Not Running

• Check the Crown: Ensure the crown is fully pushed in to position 1. If it's pulled out, the watch will not run.
• Battery: The battery may be depleted. Refer to the 'Battery Replacement' section for guidance.

Incorrect Time/Date Display

• Resetting: Follow the 'Setting the Time and Date' instructions in the Setup section to reset the time and date.
• Day/Date Cycle: Ensure you have set the time correctly for AM/PM, as this affects the day and date change.

Condensation Under Crystal

• If condensation appears under the crystal, it indicates a breach in the water resistance. Seek professional service immediately to prevent internal damage.
