Operating the Watch
Unidirectional Rotating Bezel
The watch features a unidirectional rotating bezel. This bezel can be rotated counter-clockwise to mark elapsed time. Align the triangle marker on the bezel with the minute hand at the start of an activity to track the duration.
Water Resistance
This watch is water-resistant up to 20 bars (200 meters / 660 feet). It is suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and recreational diving. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any water exposure.
Caution: Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise water resistance.
Maintenance and Care
Cleaning
To clean your watch, wipe the case and strap with a soft, damp cloth. For the silicone strap, mild soap and water can be used. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by a quartz movement requiring a battery. When the battery needs replacement, it is recommended to take the watch to an authorized Timex service center or a qualified watchmaker to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.
Storage
When not in use, store your watch in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Troubleshooting
- Watch Not Running: Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If the watch still does not run, the battery may need replacement.
- Date Not Changing: Ensure the time is set correctly, especially distinguishing between AM and PM. If the date changes at noon, you may need to advance the time by 12 hours.
- Condensation Under Crystal: This may indicate a loss of water resistance. Avoid further water exposure and have the watch inspected by a qualified technician.
