This image displays the Timex TW4B31300 Expedition Field watch, featuring a round black dial with white hour markers and hands, a silver-tone case, and a matching silver expansion band. The watch includes a date window at the 3 o'clock position.

Setup

1. Setting the Time

1. Pull the crown (the small knob on the side of the watch) out to position 2.
2. Rotate the crown in either direction until the correct time is displayed.
3. Push the crown back into position 1 to start the watch.

2. Setting the Date

1. Pull the crown out to position 1 (halfway out).
2. Rotate the crown clockwise until the correct date is displayed.
3. Push the crown back into its original position to engage the watch movement.

3. Battery Activation

Your Timex watch comes with a pre-installed nonstandard battery. If the watch is not running, ensure the crown is fully pushed in. No initial battery activation steps are typically required for new watches.

Operating the Watch

1. Reading the Time and Date

The watch features a 3-hand analog display for hours, minutes, and seconds, along with a date window. Read the time by observing the position of the hour and minute hands relative to the dial markers. The date is displayed in the small window, typically at the 3 o'clock position.

2. Using INDIGLO Night-Light

To activate the INDIGLO night-light, simply press and hold the crown. The entire dial will illuminate for easy reading in the dark. Release the crown to turn off the light.

3. Water Resistance

This watch is water-resistant to 50 meters (164 feet). This rating means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, but not for diving or snorkeling. Do not operate the crown while the watch is wet or submerged.

Maintenance

1. Battery Replacement

The watch uses a nonstandard battery. When the battery needs replacement, the watch may stop or the INDIGLO feature may dim. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified jeweler or watch repair service to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.

2. Cleaning Your Watch

To clean your watch, wipe the case and crystal with a soft, damp cloth. For the stainless steel expansion band, a mild soap solution and a soft brush can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water and thorough drying. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

3. Storage

When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keeping it in its original packaging or a watch box can help protect it from dust and scratches.

The watch comes packaged in a red box featuring the Timex logo prominently displayed in white on the top and front surfaces. The box is designed to protect the watch during transit and storage.

Troubleshooting

• Watch Not Running: Ensure the crown is fully pushed into position. If the watch still does not run, the battery may need replacement.
• INDIGLO Night-Light Not Working: A dim or non-functional INDIGLO light often indicates a low battery. Replace the battery.
• Inaccurate Time: Check if the crown is fully pushed in. Exposure to strong magnetic fields can also affect timekeeping. If issues persist after battery replacement, professional service may be required.
• Water Inside Watch: If moisture appears inside the watch, have it serviced immediately to prevent damage to the movement.
