3.1 Setting the Time and Date
- Pull out the crown: Gently pull the crown (the knob on the side of the watch) to the second click position. The second hand will stop.

4.2 Water Resistance
Your Citizen AN8194-51L watch is water resistant up to 100 meters (10 ATM). This means it is suitable for recreational swimming, snorkeling, and showering. However, it is not recommended for scuba diving. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before exposing the watch to water.
5. Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning Your Watch
To maintain the appearance of your watch, wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
5.2 Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by a quartz movement, which requires a battery. When the battery runs low, the second hand may start moving in two-second intervals as a low battery indicator. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.

When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. The original watch box can be used for storage.
