Welcome
Congratulations on purchasing your TIMEX® watch. Please read these instructions carefully to understand how to operate your Timex timepiece. Your watch may not have all of the features described in this booklet. For more information, please visit: www.timex.com.
How to Start Your Watch
Quartz Movement
To start your watch, remove the plastic guard from under the crown, then press the crown in against the case. The second hand will begin advancing in one-second intervals. Some deep-depth water-resistant watches require the setting crown to be screwed in to secure water-resistance. If your watch case has a protrusion with screw threads, the crown must be screwed in after setting the watch. To screw in, push the crown firmly against the threaded protrusion and hold it in while turning the crown clockwise. Continue to screw in the crown until it is tight. You will need to unscrew the crown (counter-clockwise) before pulling it out the next time you want to set your watch.
Solar Movement
The watch includes a solar cell that charges its battery. Expose the watch in direct sunlight, sunlight through a window, or artificial (indoor) lighting to charge the battery prior to use. When fully charged, the watch may function without additional charging for up to 2 months. To start your watch, remove the plastic guard from under the crown, then press the crown in against the case. The second hand will begin advancing in one-second intervals. Charging happens faster while in direct sunlight and slower when indoors. A depleted battery may be charged by exposing the dial to sunlight for several days. Wear the watch so that the sleeve does not cover all or part of the dial and impede charging. Store the watch where it will be exposed to light, or the battery will run down and require a full charge. See the table below for more information.
WARNING: Leaving the watch in direct sunlight or close to a lamp may cause the watch to become hot. Handle with care. After many years of use, if the battery becomes unable to charge fully, it may be replaced with a new rechargeable battery of the same type. Please see the BATTERY section for details.
Hand-wind Movement
To start your watch, remove the plastic guard from under the crown, set the Time and Date (if applicable), then press the crown in against the case. Slowly turn the crown clockwise until you feel resistance. You should hear the watch "ticking" and the second hand will begin to move. If the watch stops in the next 24 hours, you should increase the amount of clockwise turns of the crown during the winding process until you find the watch will work for 24 hours without stopping. You should wind the watch each 24-hour period at approximately the same time of day to ensure the watch does not become fully unwound and stops. If the watch stops, follow the instructions to set the Time and Date (if applicable), and wind to start the watch again.
Water and Shock Resistance
If your watch is water-resistant, meter marking or ? is indicated.
| Water-Resistance Depth | p.s.i.a. * Water Pressure Below Surface |
|---|---|
| 30m / 98ft | 60 |
| 50m / 164ft | 86 |
| 100m / 328ft | 160 |
| 200m / 656ft | 284 |
*pounds per square inch absolute
WARNING: TO MAINTAIN WATER-RESISTANCE, DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS OR PULL OUT THE CROWN UNDER WATER UNLESS YOUR WATCH IS INDICATED AS 200 METER WATER-RESISTANT.
- Watch is water-resistant only as long as lens, push buttons, and case remain intact.
- Watch is not a diver watch and should not be used for diving.
- Rinse watch with fresh water after exposure to salt water.
- Shock-resistance will be indicated on the watch face or caseback. Watches are designed to pass ISO test for shock-resistance. However, care should be taken to avoid damaging the crystal/lens.
INDIGLO® NIGHT-LIGHT
Press button or crown to activate light. Electroluminescent technology used in the INDIGLO® night-light illuminates the entire watch face at night and in low light conditions.
Charging Information
