Setup

Setting Time and Date

Your Timex Waterbury Legacy watch features a crown with multiple positions to adjust the time, date, and day of the week.

1. Pull the crown out to Position 3 (farthest out): This stops the second hand and allows you to set the time. Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to move the hour and minute hands. Continue turning until the correct time is displayed. Ensure you distinguish between AM and PM for accurate date change.
2. Push the crown in to Position 2 (middle position): This position allows you to set the date and day.
3. To set the Date: Turn the crown counter-clockwise until the correct date appears in the date window.
4. To set the Day: Turn the crown clockwise until the correct day appears in the day window.
5. Push the crown back to Position 1 (normal position): This engages the movement and starts the watch. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in to maintain water resistance.

Note: Avoid setting the date or day between 9:00 PM and 3:00 AM, as this can interfere with the automatic date change mechanism and potentially damage the movement. If you need to adjust the date during this period, first set the time outside this window, adjust the date/day, then reset the time.

Bracelet Adjustment

The stainless steel bracelet is designed to fit a wrist circumference up to 8 inches. For optimal comfort and fit, the bracelet may need to be adjusted by adding or removing links. It is recommended to have this adjustment performed by a qualified jeweler or watch technician to prevent damage to the bracelet or watch.

Operating Your Watch

Basic Timekeeping

Once the time, date, and day are set, your watch will operate continuously, powered by its quartz movement. The second hand will sweep smoothly, and the date and day will advance automatically at midnight.

Luminant Hands

The hands of your watch feature a luminant coating, allowing for visibility in low-light conditions. Exposure to light will charge the luminant material, causing it to glow in the dark.

Water Resistance

This watch is water resistant to 50 meters (165 feet). This rating means the watch is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming. It is not suitable for diving, snorkeling, or high-impact water sports. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water. Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise the water resistance and lead to water intrusion.

Care and Maintenance

Cleaning Your Watch

To maintain the appearance of your watch, regularly wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, dry cloth. For stainless steel components, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the watch's finish or seals.

Battery Replacement

Your watch is powered by one lithium metal battery (included). When the battery power is low, the watch may stop or run intermittently. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure the correct battery type is used and the water resistance seal is properly re-installed. Attempting to replace the battery yourself may void the warranty and damage the watch.

Storage

When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keeping it in its original packaging or a watch box can help protect it from dust and scratches.

Troubleshooting

• Watch Not Running: Ensure the crown is fully pushed into Position 1. If the watch still does not run, the battery may need replacement.
• Date/Day Not Changing Correctly: Verify that the time is set correctly, especially distinguishing between AM and PM. Avoid setting the date/day between 9:00 PM and 3:00 AM. If the issue persists, consult a watch technician.
• Condensation Under Crystal: Small amounts of condensation may appear temporarily with sudden temperature changes and should dissipate quickly. If condensation persists or large droplets appear, this indicates a loss of water resistance. Immediately take the watch to a service center to prevent further damage.
• Inaccurate Timekeeping: If the watch is consistently fast or slow, the battery may be low, or the movement may require servicing.
