Important Safety Information
Please read all instructions carefully before using your Timex Waterbury watch. Keep this manual for future reference. Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or harsh chemicals. Do not attempt to open the watch case or perform repairs yourself, as this may void the warranty and damage the watch. This watch is water resistant to 100 meters (330 feet), suitable for swimming and snorkeling, but not for scuba diving. Ensure the crown is pushed in completely to maintain water resistance.
Setup
Unboxing and Initial Inspection
Carefully remove your Timex Waterbury watch from its packaging. Inspect the watch for any visible damage or defects. The watch should arrive securely fastened to a cushion inside its box.

Adjusting the Watch Band
The stainless steel bracelet can be adjusted by removing or adding links to achieve a comfortable fit. This process typically requires specialized tools to push out the pins that connect the links. It is recommended to have this done by a professional watchmaker or use a dedicated watch band adjustment kit to avoid scratching the watch.

Operating Your Watch
Setting the Time and Date
- Pull out the crown: Gently pull the crown (the knob on the side of the watch) to its outermost position. The second hand will stop.
- Set the time: Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to move the hour and minute hands to the desired time.
- Set the date: For watches with a date window, pull the crown to the first click position (halfway out). Turn the crown to adjust the date. If your watch has a day-date function, you may need to turn the crown in the opposite direction to adjust the day.
- Push in the crown: Once the time and date are set, push the crown back into its original position to start the watch and ensure water resistance.
Using the GMT Function
Your Timex Waterbury GMT watch features a 24-hour hand and a rotating bezel to track a second or third time zone. To use the GMT function:
- Set local time: First, set the main hour and minute hands to your current local time as described above.
- Set GMT hand: The GMT hand (often a distinct color or shape) can be set independently. Pull the crown to the first click position. Turning the crown in one direction will adjust the date, and in the other direction, it will adjust the GMT hand. Set the GMT hand to the desired second time zone (e.g., home time).
- Use the bezel for a third time zone: Rotate the bi-directional bezel to align the 24-hour scale with a third time zone. For example, if your local time is 10:00 AM and your GMT hand is set to 3:00 PM (15:00 on the 24-hour scale), you can rotate the bezel to align the 15 mark with the current time in a third city.
Maintenance
Cleaning Your Watch
To maintain the appearance of your watch, regularly wipe the case and crystal with a soft, damp cloth. For the stainless steel bracelet, a soft brush with mild soap and water can be used, ensuring to rinse thoroughly and dry immediately. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
Water Resistance Guidelines
Your watch has a water resistance rating of 100 meters. This means it is suitable for recreational swimming, showering, and snorkeling. It is not designed for high-impact water sports or scuba diving. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any water exposure. Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged.
Battery Replacement
The Timex Waterbury watch is powered by a Quartz movement, which uses 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 the watch's water resistance is maintained and to prevent damage to the movement.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues and Solutions
- Watch not running: Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If it is, the battery may need replacement.
- Incorrect time/date: Refer to the "Setting the Time and Date" section to correctly adjust.
- Condensation under crystal: This may indicate a loss of water resistance. Have the watch inspected by a professional immediately.
- Band discomfort: The watch band may need adjustment. Refer to the "Adjusting the Watch Band" section or consult a professional.
