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:
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
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 watch so that the sleeve does not cover all or part of the dial and
impede charging… Store 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
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 applies) then press the crown in
against the case… Slowly turn the crown clock-wise 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 clock-wise
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 un-wound and stops… If the watch stops, follow the instructions to set the
Time and Date (if applies), and wind to start the watch again…
