Introduction
This manual provides detailed instructions for the setup, operation, and maintenance of your Timex Men's Legacy 42mm Watch. Please read this manual thoroughly to ensure proper use and care of your timepiece.
Setup
1. Setting the Time
- Pull the crown (the small knob on the side of the watch case) out to the furthest position.
- Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the hour and minute hands to the correct time.
- Once the time is set, push the crown back into its original position to start the watch movement.
2. Adjusting the Bracelet
The stainless steel bracelet can be adjusted by removing or adding links. This procedure typically requires specialized tools and is best performed by a qualified jeweler or watch technician to avoid damage to the bracelet or clasp.

Operating Your Watch
Reading the Time
The watch displays time using traditional hour, minute, and second hands on a silver-tone dial. The dial features clear hour markers and a tachymeter scale around the outer edge.
Water Resistance
Your Timex Legacy watch is water resistant up to 50 meters (164 feet). 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 and Care
Cleaning Your Watch
- Wipe the watch case and bracelet with a soft, dry cloth regularly to remove dust and dirt.
- For stainless steel components, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaning materials, as these can damage the watch's finish or internal components.
Battery Replacement
This watch is powered by a quartz movement and requires a battery. When the battery needs replacement, it is recommended to take your watch to an authorized Timex service center or a reputable watch repair shop. This ensures proper battery installation and maintenance of the watch's water resistance seal.
Storage
When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keeping it in its original box or a watch case can help protect it from scratches and impacts.
