- Once the time is set, push the crown back into position 1 (normal operating position).

Operating the Chronograph
Your Timex Chicago watch is equipped with a chronograph function for measuring elapsed time.
1. Starting and Stopping the Chronograph
- Press the top pusher (button) to start the chronograph. The chronograph second hand will begin to move.
- Press the top pusher again to stop the chronograph. The elapsed time will be displayed.
2. Resetting the Chronograph
- While the chronograph is stopped, press the bottom pusher to reset all chronograph hands to zero.
3. Water Resistance
This watch has a water resistance depth of 50 meters (5 ATM). This means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, but not for diving or snorkeling. Avoid operating the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged to prevent water intrusion.

Maintenance
1. Cleaning Your Watch
Wipe the watch case and crystal regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For the leather strap, avoid prolonged exposure to water and direct sunlight to prevent damage and discoloration. If the strap gets wet, allow it to air dry naturally.
2. Battery Replacement
Your watch is powered by a quartz movement and requires a battery. When the battery runs low, the watch may stop or the second hand may skip. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.
3. Crystal Care
The watch features a scratch-resistant mineral glass crystal. While durable, it is not entirely scratch-proof. Avoid contact with abrasive surfaces to maintain its clarity.

Troubleshooting
- Watch Not Running: Check if the crown is fully pushed in to position 1. If the watch still does not run, the battery may need replacement.
- Incorrect Time: Ensure the crown is not accidentally pulled out. Reset the time as described in the Setup section.
- Chronograph Hands Not Resetting to Zero: If the chronograph hands do not return to the 12 o'clock position after resetting, consult a service center.
- Water Inside the Watch: If you notice condensation or water inside the watch, immediately take it to a qualified watch technician for inspection and repair to prevent further damage.
