Initial Setup
Setting Time and Date
- Pull the Crown: Gently pull the crown (the small knob on the side of the watch) out to the first or second position, depending on your model's features. Refer to the watch diagram for crown positions.
- Adjust Time: Rotate the crown to set the hour and minute hands. For models with a date display, continue rotating past 12 AM to advance the date.
- Set Date (if applicable): If your watch has a quick-set date function, rotate the crown in the first position to adjust the date.
- Push the Crown In: Once the time and date are set, push the crown back into its normal operating position to start the watch movement.

Operating Your Watch
Basic Time Display
Your watch displays the current time with hour, minute, and second hands. Some models may include a date window.
Chronograph (Stopwatch) Function
The chronograph allows you to measure elapsed time. Typically, a pusher button starts and stops the chronograph, while another resets it. Consult your watch's specific button layout for exact operation.
INDIGLO Night-Light
Press the INDIGLO button (often the crown or a dedicated pusher) to illuminate the watch dial for easy viewing in low-light conditions.
Water Resistance
This watch is water-resistant to 100 meters (330 feet). This means it is suitable for showering, swimming, and snorkeling. Do not press any buttons or pull the crown while the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise the water resistance.

Care and Maintenance
Cleaning Your Watch
Regularly wipe your watch with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and perspiration. For metal bracelets, a soft brush can be used to clean between links. Ensure the crown is pushed in before cleaning.
Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by a Lithium Metal battery (SR927SW). When the battery needs replacement, it is recommended to have it done by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.
Water Resistance Care
To maintain water resistance, avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature changes (e.g., hot showers followed by cold water). Have the gaskets checked and replaced periodically, especially after battery changes.

Troubleshooting
- Watch Not Running: Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If the watch still does not run, the battery may need replacement.
- Incorrect Time/Date: Follow the 'Setting Time and Date' instructions in the Initial Setup section.
- Fogging Under Crystal: This may indicate a loss of water resistance. Avoid further water exposure and have the watch inspected by a professional.
- INDIGLO Not Working: The battery may be low, or there could be an internal issue.
