FAQs

What is a tachymeter used for?

A tachymeter is a scale on the bezel of a watch that allows you to measure speed based on time. It's often used in conjunction with the chronograph function to calculate average speed over a known distance.

Is this watch suitable for swimming?

The watch has a water resistance of 5 bars, which means it can withstand splashes and brief immersion in water. However, it is not recommended for swimming, diving, or prolonged exposure to water.

How long does the battery last?

The typical battery life for a quartz watch like this is approximately 2-3 years, depending on usage of the chronograph functions.

What is the strap made of and how is it adjusted?

The strap is made of silver stainless steel, measuring 20 mm in width and 21 cm in length. It features a fold-over clasp with push buttons for secure closure. Minor adjustments can usually be made at the clasp or by a jeweler removing links.

What is the warranty period?

The watch comes with a warranty of 2 years from the date of purchase.

Can I change the watch strap?

Yes, the watch is compatible with standard 20mm watch straps, allowing you to customize its appearance with leather, NATO, or other materials.

How do I set the 24-hour display?

The 24-hour display is typically linked to the main time setting. When you set the main time using the crown, the 24-hour sub-dial will move accordingly. Ensure the crown is in the middle position for setting.

Troubleshooting

Chronograph hands not resetting to zero

Ensure the chronograph is fully stopped. If the issue persists, you may need to manually reset the hands by carefully manipulating the crown and pushers as per the manual or consulting a watchmaker.

Watch is losing time or running slow

Check if the battery is low. If the watch is new, ensure the crown is fully pushed in. If the problem continues, the quartz movement may require servicing.

Date is not changing correctly

Ensure you are setting the date between 9 AM and 12 PM to avoid conflict with the automatic date change mechanism. Consult the manual for precise date setting instructions.

Strap clasp is difficult to open/close

Gently try to operate the push buttons. Ensure no debris is obstructing the clasp mechanism. If it remains stiff, seek assistance from a jeweler.

  • Includes a tachymeter bezel for speed calculations.
  • Offers a 24-hour display and date function.
  • Comes with a durable stainless steel strap.
  • Water-resistant for daily wear.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The watch comes pre-set with the time and date. To set the time, pull the crown out to the outermost position and rotate. To set the date and 24-hour display, pull the crown to the middle position. The chronograph is ready for use upon receiving the watch; use the top pusher to start/stop and the bottom pusher to reset.

Compatibility: The stainless steel strap is 20 mm wide and 21 cm long, featuring a fold-over with push-button clasp. It is designed to fit most wrists, and the clasp can be adjusted for a secure fit. The watch is compatible with standard 20mm watch straps if you wish to customize its look.

Care: To maintain your Timex Marlin watch, wipe the case and strap regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or harsh chemicals. While water-resistant up to 5 bars, it is not recommended for diving or prolonged submersion. Ensure the crown is pushed in to maintain water resistance.
