2. Setup and Initial Use
2.1 Setting the Time and Date
- Pull the Crown: Gently pull the crown (the small knob on the side of the watch case) out to position 2 (first click) for date adjustment, or position 3 (second click) for time adjustment.
- Set the Date (Position 2): Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to adjust the day and date. If your watch has a day/date function, you may need to rotate it to set both. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this is when the watch's internal mechanism is changing the date, and manual adjustment can cause damage.
- Set the Time (Position 3): Rotate the crown to move the hour and minute hands. Rotate the hands past 12 o'clock to determine if it is AM or PM for correct date change.
- Push the Crown In: Once the time and date are set, push the crown back into position 1 (normal operating position) to start the watch movement.

2.2 Adjusting the Strap
The natural leather strap is designed for comfort and durability. To adjust the fit, simply use the buckle to select the appropriate hole that provides a snug yet comfortable fit on your wrist. The leather will soften and conform to your wrist over time.

3. Operating the Watch
Your Timex Waterbury Classic watch is designed for reliable timekeeping. Once set, the watch will operate continuously. The luminant hands provide visibility in low-light conditions, allowing you to read the time without external illumination.
The day and date window will automatically advance at midnight. If the watch is not worn for an extended period, you may need to reset the time and date as described in Section 2.1.
4. Maintenance and Care
4.1 Cleaning Your Watch
- Case and Crystal: Wipe the stainless-steel case and crystal (watch face) with a soft, lint-free cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure no water enters the watch.
- Leather Strap: Avoid prolonged exposure to water, direct sunlight, and harsh chemicals, as these can damage the leather. Wipe the strap with a dry, soft cloth. For cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner or a very mild soap solution applied sparingly with a damp cloth, then wipe dry immediately. Allow to air dry completely before wearing.
4.2 Water Resistance
This watch has a water resistance rating of 50 meters (5 ATM / 164 feet). This means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, but not for diving or snorkeling. Do not operate the crown or pushers when the watch is wet or submerged.

4.3 Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by a quartz movement and requires a battery. When the watch stops running, it indicates the battery needs replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.
5. Troubleshooting
- Watch Not Running:
- Check if the crown is fully pushed in (position 1).
- The battery may need replacement. Refer to Section 4.3.
- Incorrect Time/Date:
- Reset the time and date as described in Section 2.1.
- Ensure the crown is fully pushed in after setting.
- Condensation Under Crystal:
- This may indicate a breach in the water resistance. Avoid further exposure to water and seek professional service immediately.
