To set the start of dive time or the timing of a specific period, you must turn the Dive Time crown counterclockwise (rotate or move it to the left when looking at the watch). This action will rotate the internal 0-60' bezel until the 0 marker (the largest index or the zero on the 0 to 20 scale in some models) aligns with the current position of the minute hand. This initiates the countdown or timing of minutes used during the diving activity or other tasks.
MAINTENANCE OF THE DIVE TIME CROWN. FREQUENT USE OR PRO OF THE DIVE TIME CROWN IN MARINE ENVIRONMENTS WILL REQUIRE GASKETS REPLACEMENT AT A SERVICE CENTER EVERY 3 YEARS. FOR MODERATE OR OCCASIONAL USE, SERVICING WILL BE NEEDED EVERY 5-6 YEARS.
IMPORTANT. Never turn the Dive Time crown clockwise when looking at the watch, as this can damage the mechanism! If unsure, check the engraved arrows on the watch case, which indicate the correct direction for rotation.
Tools you’ll need to adjust or change FKM straps: You should have it nearby the two tools provided with your watch, as well as a cutter with ruler, or sharp scissors.
ADJUSTING THE FKM STRAP TO YOUR WRIST
To properly adjust the FKM strap to your preferences while keeping the clasp centered on your wrist, follow these steps:​
Detach the 6H strap. Use the spring bar tool included with your watch to detach the 6H strap from the clasp. Leave the 12H strap securely attached, ensuring it is fully inserted to the stop point of the micro-adjustment and Divers adjustment system.
PRESS THE SPRING BAR TO DETACH AND ATTACH. FIRST ONLY DETACH 6H STRAP
Fit the watch on your wrist. Place the watch on your wrist, holding the case to prevent it from falling, and lay the loose 6H strap over the clasp attached to the 12H strap.
Count the excess holes. Count how many holes extend past the clasp. For example: If you have 4 excess holes, cut 2 segments from each side. If you have 2 excess holes, cut 1 segment from each side. If the number is odd, cut one extra segment from the 12H strap side. Use the lines on the strap as a cutting guide.
Detach the 12H strap from clasp if necessary. If you need to cut the 12H strap, detach it from the clasp by pressing the inner ‘Unlock’ button on the clasp and pushing the strap out to access and disconnect it.
Reattach the spring bars. Once the strap is cut, reinsert the spring bars, ensuring they click securely into the designated clasp holes. And... you're all set!

To use the extender—for micro-adjustments on your FROG300, or to wear it over a wetsuit or technical suit—push the ‘Unlock’ button outward on the clasp and readjust by sliding the strap or bracelet back inside.
