Introduction
Thank you for choosing an Armitron timepiece. This manual provides essential instructions for the setup, operation, and maintenance of your Armitron Men's Bracelet Watch, Model 20/5616. Please read this guide carefully to ensure proper use and longevity of your watch.
Setup
1. Setting the Time
- Pull out the crown: Gently pull the crown (the small knob on the side of the watch case) out to its outermost position.
- Adjust the time: Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to move the hour and minute hands to the desired time.
- Push in the crown: Once the correct time is set, push the crown back into its normal operating position. Ensure it is fully seated to maintain water resistance.
2. Bracelet Adjustment
Your Armitron bracelet watch features an adjustable link bracelet with a fold-over clasp and double push-button safety. For optimal comfort and fit, the bracelet may need to be adjusted by adding or removing links. This procedure typically requires specialized tools and is best performed by a professional jeweler or watch repair service.

Operating Instructions
Basic Timekeeping
Your Armitron watch is an analog timepiece powered by Japanese Quartz movement, providing accurate time display with hour, minute, and second hands. Once the time is set as described in the Setup section, the watch will continuously keep time.
Water Resistance
This watch is water resistant to 165 feet (50 meters). This rating means the watch is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, but not for diving or snorkeling. Important: Do not operate the crown or push-buttons while the watch is wet or submerged in water, as this can compromise the water resistance seal.
Maintenance
Cleaning Your Watch
- For the case and metal bracelet, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and grime.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the watch's finish or seals.
- After exposure to saltwater, rinse the watch with fresh water and dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth.
Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by a quartz movement, which requires a battery. When the watch stops or the second hand begins to skip, it indicates that the battery needs replacement. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure the watch's seals and water resistance are maintained.
Water Resistance Care
To maintain the water resistance of your watch, ensure the crown is always pushed in completely. Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature changes, which can cause seals to expand and contract, potentially compromising water resistance. It is recommended to have the water resistance seals checked periodically by a professional, especially if the watch is frequently exposed to water.
Troubleshooting
- Watch has stopped: This typically indicates a depleted battery. Refer to the "Battery Replacement" section under Maintenance.
- Time is incorrect: Ensure the crown is fully pushed in after setting the time. If the time continues to be inaccurate, the watch may require servicing.
- Moisture under the crystal: If you notice condensation or moisture inside the watch, immediately take it to a qualified watch repair service. This indicates a breach in the water resistance.
For issues not covered here, or if troubleshooting steps do not resolve the problem, please contact Armitron customer support or a certified watch repair professional.
