Introduction
This manual provides detailed instructions for the setup, operation, and maintenance of your Calvin Klein Men's Distinguish 44mm Quartz Watch. Please read this manual thoroughly to ensure proper use and care of your timepiece.
Setup
Setting the Time and Date
- Pull out the crown: Gently pull the crown (the knob on the side of the watch) to the outermost position.
- Set the time: Rotate the crown to adjust the hour and minute hands to the correct time. For watches with a date function, ensure you set the time correctly for AM/PM to avoid the date changing at noon.
- Set the date (if applicable): If your watch has a date display, push the crown halfway in and rotate it to adjust the date. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can interfere with the date change mechanism.
- Push in the crown: Once the time and date are set, push the crown back into its original position against the watch case to start the watch movement and ensure water resistance.
Adjusting the Bracelet
The stainless steel bracelet may require adjustment for a comfortable fit. This typically involves removing or adding links. It is recommended to have this procedure performed by a qualified jeweler or watch technician to prevent damage to the bracelet or watch.
If you choose to adjust it yourself, you will need a specialized watch link removal tool. Follow these general steps:
- Identify removable links: Look for small arrows on the inside of the bracelet links, indicating the direction to push out the pins.
- Remove pins: Use the link removal tool to push out the pins in the direction of the arrows.
- Remove links: Remove the desired number of links, ensuring an even number are removed from each side of the clasp for balance.
- Reassemble: Reinsert the pins in the opposite direction to secure the bracelet.

Operating Your Watch
Timekeeping
Your Calvin Klein Distinguish watch features a precise quartz movement, providing accurate timekeeping with minimal maintenance.
GMT Function
The watch includes a GMT function with a 24-hour track and an additional hour hand. This allows you to track a second time zone simultaneously. The GMT hand can be set independently to display the time in a different time zone.
Water Resistance
This watch is water resistant up to 30 meters (100 feet) or 3 ATM. This means it is suitable for splashes or brief immersion in water, such as washing hands or light rain. It is not suitable for swimming, showering, diving, or any water sports.
Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in to maintain water resistance.
Maintenance and Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Calvin Klein watch.
Cleaning
- Wipe the watch case and bracelet regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt and moisture.
- For stainless steel bracelets, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Battery Replacement
Your quartz watch is powered by a battery. When the battery runs low, the watch may stop or the second hand might jump in irregular intervals (End-of-Life indicator). Battery replacement should be performed by an authorized Calvin Klein service center or a professional watchmaker to ensure the watch's integrity and water resistance are maintained.
Never attempt to open the watch yourself, as this can void the warranty and damage internal components.
Service Interval
A maintenance interval of 3 to 5 years is recommended for your timepiece, in addition to any required battery replacement. This service helps ensure the watch continues to function optimally.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your watch, please refer to the following common solutions:
- Watch not running: Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If it is, the battery may need replacement.
- Incorrect time: Reset the time as described in the "Setting the Time and Date" section.
- Date not changing: Ensure the time is set correctly for AM/PM. If the date changes at noon, you have set the time for the wrong 12-hour cycle. Advance the time by 12 hours.
- Water inside the watch: If condensation or water appears inside the watch, immediately take it to a professional watchmaker. This indicates a breach in water resistance.
For issues not resolved by these steps, contact Calvin Klein customer support or an authorized service center.
