Setup

Adjusting the Watch Band

To ensure a comfortable fit, you may need to adjust the length of your watch's stainless steel band. This process typically involves removing or adding links. It is recommended to use a specialized watch band adjustment tool kit to prevent damage to the watch or band.

Steps for Link Removal:

1. Identify the direction of the pins: Look for small arrows on the inside of the watch band links. These arrows indicate the direction in which the pins should be pushed out.
2. Position the watch: Place the watch band in a link removal tool, aligning the pin with the tool's pusher. Ensure the arrow on the link points towards the tool's exit hole.
3. Push out the pin: Slowly turn the screw mechanism on the tool to push the pin out of the link. If the pin does not come out completely, use a manual pin pusher to gently tap it through.
4. Remove desired links: Repeat the process for each link you wish to remove. It is often recommended to remove an equal number of links from both sides of the clasp for balanced wear.
5. Reassemble the band: Align the remaining links and insert a pin in the opposite direction of removal. Use the tool to gently press the pin back into place until it is flush with the band.

Setting Time and Date

To set the time and date on your Timex Waterbury watch:

1. Pull the crown out to the first click position to adjust the date. Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise until the correct date is displayed.
2. Pull the crown out to the second click position to adjust the time. Turn the crown to move the hour and minute hands to the desired time.
3. Once set, push the crown back in completely to start the watch and ensure water resistance.

Operating

Using the GMT Function and Rotatable Bezel

Your Timex Waterbury watch features a 24-hour dial and a rotatable bezel, allowing you to track a second time zone (GMT function).

• The 24-hour hand (often a distinct color, like red) indicates the time in the second time zone against the 24-hour markings on the inner dial or bezel.
• The rotatable bezel can be used to quickly reference a third time zone. Rotate the bezel so that the desired time zone's offset aligns with the 24-hour hand.

Water Resistance

This watch is water resistant up to 100 meters (330 feet). This means it is suitable for showering, swimming, and snorkeling. It is not recommended for scuba diving or high-impact water sports. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in to maintain water resistance.

Maintenance

General Care

To preserve the appearance and functionality of your watch:

• Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures or sudden temperature changes.
• Keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields.
• Avoid direct contact with solvents, detergents, perfumes, and cosmetic products, as they may damage the band, case, or gaskets.

Cleaning

Clean your watch regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For stainless steel bands, a soft brush can be used to remove dirt from between the links. Ensure the watch is completely dry after cleaning.

Battery Replacement

When the watch battery needs replacement, it is recommended to take it to an authorized Timex service center or a reputable watch repair professional. This ensures proper battery installation and maintenance of water resistance.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your watch, consider the following common solutions:

• Watch not running: Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If it is, the battery may need replacement.
• Date not changing: Ensure the time is set correctly for AM/PM. The date typically changes around midnight.
• Water inside the watch: If condensation appears under the crystal, immediately take the watch to a service center.
