- Bezel: Rotatable ring, often used for tracking elapsed time or a second time zone.

Setup and Time Setting
- Setting the Time:
Pull the crown out to position 2 (farthest out). Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the hour and minute hands to the desired time. Push the crown back in to position 1 (normal operating position) to start the watch.
- Setting the Date:
Pull the crown out to position 1 (first click). Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to advance the date. Once the correct date is displayed, push the crown back in to position 0 (fully in).
- Setting the GMT Hand (24-hour hand):
The GMT hand tracks a second time zone in a 24-hour format. To set it, pull the crown out to position 2. Rotate the crown to align the GMT hand with the desired 24-hour time on the inner ring or bezel. Ensure the main hour hand is also set correctly for your primary time zone. Push the crown back in to position 0.

Operating the Watch
Your Timex Waterbury watch is designed for daily wear and features a robust construction. It is water resistant up to 100 meters (330 feet), making it suitable for swimming and snorkeling, but not for scuba diving. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in to maintain water resistance.
The rotating bezel can be used to track elapsed time or a third time zone. Align the zero marker on the bezel with the minute hand for elapsed time, or with the GMT hand for a third time zone.
Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: Wipe the watch case and crystal with a soft, damp cloth. For the strap, follow specific care instructions based on its material (e.g., for fabric/leather, avoid excessive moisture).
- Water Resistance: While water resistant, avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature changes or harsh chemicals. Always rinse with fresh water after exposure to salt water.
- Battery Replacement: This watch uses a quartz movement powered by a battery. When the watch stops or the second hand begins to jump erratically (indicating low battery), it's time for a replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.
- Storage: When not in use, store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong magnetic fields.
