Setting the Time
To set the time on your watch:
- Locate the crown, the small knob on the right side of the watch case.
- Gently pull the crown outwards to its furthest position. You may feel a slight click.
- Rotate the crown in either direction to move the hour and minute hands to the desired time.
- Once the time is set, push the crown back in completely against the watch case to engage the movement and start the watch.
Adjusting the Band
The watch features a black stainless steel mesh band with a fold-over clasp. To adjust the band length:
- Locate the clasp mechanism on the band.
- Some mesh bands allow for micro-adjustments. Identify a small lever or tab on the clasp.
- Carefully lift this lever/tab to unlock the clasp from its current position on the mesh band.
- Slide the clasp along the mesh band to the desired length.
- Press the lever/tab back down firmly to secure the clasp in the new position.
- For significant length adjustments, such as removing or adding links, professional assistance from a jeweler or watch technician is recommended.

Operating
Timekeeping
Your Kenneth Cole New York watch is equipped with a precise quartz movement, ensuring accurate timekeeping. The watch displays hours, minutes, and seconds through its analog hands.
Water Resistance
This watch is rated as water resistant up to 3 ATM (30 meters / 100 feet). This rating indicates that the watch is suitable for everyday use and can withstand splashes, rain, or brief immersion in water. It is important to note that this watch is not designed for swimming, showering, diving, or any activities involving prolonged water exposure or high-pressure water jets. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in to maintain water resistance.
Maintenance
Cleaning
To maintain the aesthetic appeal of your watch:
- Wipe the watch case and band regularly with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
- For stainless steel components, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying with a clean, dry cloth.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents, as these can damage the watch's finish and seals.
Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by a lithium-ion battery. When the watch stops running, the battery may need replacement. Battery replacement should always be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure the correct battery type is used and the watch's water resistance is maintained through proper re-sealing.
Storage
When not in use, store your watch in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and strong magnetic fields. The original watch box provides suitable protection against dust and scratches.
Troubleshooting
Watch Not Running
- Check the Crown: Ensure the crown is fully pushed in against the watch case. The watch will not operate if the crown is pulled out.
- Battery: If the crown is fully pushed in and the watch is still not running, the battery may be depleted and require replacement. Consult a professional watch technician.
Inaccurate Time
- Crown Position: Verify that the crown is fully pushed in after setting the time.
- Magnetic Fields: Exposure to strong magnetic fields can temporarily affect the accuracy of quartz watches. If suspected, consult a professional watch technician for demagnetization.
- Battery Life: A low battery can sometimes lead to erratic timekeeping before the watch stops completely. Consider battery replacement if the watch is old.
