2.2 Bracelet Adjustment
The watch features an adjustable link bracelet. For proper fit, it may be necessary to add or remove 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 watch.
3. Operating Your Watch
Your Armitron 20/5616 watch is a quartz movement timepiece designed for accurate timekeeping. Once the time is set, the watch will operate continuously until the battery requires replacement.
Reading the Time:
The watch displays time using traditional hour and minute hands. The gunmetal grey sunray dial with gold-tone markers and a white inner rail minute track provides clear visibility for reading the time.
4. Care and Maintenance
4.1 Water Resistance
This watch is water resistant to 165 feet (50 meters). This means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming. However, it is not recommended for diving, snorkeling, or prolonged water activities. Avoid operating the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged to prevent water intrusion.
4.2 Cleaning
To clean your watch, wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, damp cloth. For the metal bracelet, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by thorough rinsing and drying. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the watch's finish.
4.3 Battery Replacement
When the watch stops running, the battery needs to be replaced. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a professional watch repair service to ensure the water resistance seal is properly maintained.
5. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Watch not running | Dead battery or crown is pulled out. | Push the crown fully in. If it still doesn't run, replace the battery. |
| Incorrect time display | Time not set correctly or crown accidentally pulled out. | Refer to Section 2.1 "Setting the Time" to reset the time. |
| Condensation inside watch | Exposure to extreme temperature changes or compromised water resistance. | Seek professional watch service immediately to prevent damage. |
