Setup

Setting the Time and Date

Your Timex TW2V04000 watch is equipped with a precise quartz movement. Follow these steps to set the time and date:

1. To set the time, gently pull the crown (the knob on the side of the watch) out to its outermost position.
2. Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to move the hour and minute hands to the desired time.
3. To set the date, push the crown in one click to the middle position. Rotate the crown until the correct date appears in the date window.
4. Once time and date are set, push the crown fully back into its original position to start the watch and ensure water resistance.

Initial Compass Calibration

For accurate compass readings, it is important to calibrate your watch and ensure you are away from strong magnetic fields (e.g., large metal objects, electronics). Refer to the specific instructions provided with your watch for detailed calibration steps, which may involve rotating the watch in a figure-eight pattern or pressing specific pushers in sequence.

Operating Your Watch

Using the Tide Function

The central bidirectional hand of your watch is designed to indicate local tide conditions. To utilize this feature, you will typically need to set it based on a known local high or low tide time. Consult local tide charts for your area and use the designated pusher (often located at 2 o'clock or 4 o'clock) to align the central hand with the current tide status (e.g., High Tide, Low Tide, Half).

Using the Temperature Function

Your watch can display ambient temperature. For the most accurate temperature readings, remove the watch from your wrist for at least 15-20 minutes to allow it to acclimate to the surrounding air temperature, as body heat can affect the sensor.

Using the Compass Function

The integrated compass function uses the central bidirectional hand to indicate direction. After calibration, hold the watch horizontally. Depending on the specific model, you may need to activate the compass mode via a pusher. The central hand will then point towards North, or you may align the hour hand with the sun (in the Northern Hemisphere) and the 12 o'clock marker will indicate North.

Maintenance

Water Resistance

Your Timex TW2V04000 watch is water resistant to 100 meters (10 ATM). This rating means it is suitable for recreational swimming and snorkeling. Important: Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise the water resistance and lead to internal damage.

Cleaning

To maintain the appearance of your watch, clean the case and crystal with a soft, damp cloth. For the Ecco™ DriTan™ leather strap, avoid excessive moisture and harsh cleaning agents. If the strap gets wet, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

Battery Replacement

The watch uses a specific product battery. When the battery power is low, the second hand may begin to jump every few seconds (an End-of-Life indicator). Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure the watch's water resistance is properly resealed and maintained.
