Setting your Timex Waterbury watch is a straightforward process involving the watch's crown. Follow these steps to adjust the time and date according to the reference.
Setting the Time
To set the correct time on your Timex Waterbury watch:
- Pull the crown all the way out. This stops the watch movement, allowing you to set the hands.
- Turn the crown to move the hands and adjust the time to the desired hour and minute.
- Push the crown all the way back in to restart the watch movement.
Note: The 24-hour display on your watch will automatically set in conjunction with the main time hands.
Setting the Date (Instant Change)
If your Timex Waterbury model includes a date feature with instant change, you can set it quickly:
- Pull the crown out one stop. This is a detent position specifically for adjusting the date.
- Turn the crown CLOCKWISE until you reach the correct date displayed in the date window.
- Once the date is set, ensure the crown is pushed all the way back in to prevent dust or moisture from entering the watch and to restart the movement if you had also pulled it out fully for time setting.
