2.2 Setting the Time
- Locate the crown on the right side of the watch case.
- Gently pull the crown outwards to the time-setting position. You may feel a slight click.

2.3 Bracelet Adjustment
The watch features a gold-tone expansion band. For optimal comfort and fit, the bracelet may need adjustment. It is recommended to have bracelet adjustments performed by a qualified jeweler or watch technician to prevent damage to the band or watch case.
3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Basic Timekeeping
Your Armitron watch is designed for accurate timekeeping. Once the time is set and the crown is pushed in, the watch will continuously display the current time.
3.2 Water Resistance
This watch is water resistant to 165 feet (50 meters). This rating means the watch is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, but not for diving or snorkeling. Avoid operating the crown while the watch is wet or submerged to prevent water intrusion.
- 50M (165 feet): Suitable for recreational swimming.
- Avoid: Hot water, steam, high-pressure water jets, or prolonged submersion.
3.3 Luminous Features
The watch features gold-tone luminous hands and markers. These elements absorb light and glow in low-light conditions, providing visibility in the dark. The intensity and duration of the glow depend on the exposure to light.
4. Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning Your Watch
To maintain the appearance of your watch:
- Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, dry cloth regularly.
- For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the watch's finish.
4.2 Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by a quartz movement requiring a battery. When the watch stops running, it indicates the battery needs replacement. It is highly recommended to have the battery replaced by a professional watch technician to ensure the water resistance seal is properly maintained.
4.3 Storage
When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and strong magnetic fields. Keeping it in its original box or a watch case can help protect it from dust and scratches.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your watch, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Watch Not Running:
- Ensure the crown is fully pushed in against the watch case.
- If the watch still does not run, the battery may need replacement. Refer to Section 4.2.
- Condensation Under Crystal:
- This indicates moisture has entered the watch. Immediately take the watch to a professional for inspection and repair to prevent internal damage.
- Bracelet Discomfort or Damage:
- If the bracelet causes discomfort or appears damaged, consult a jeweler or watch technician for adjustment or repair.
