If you have registered your watch with the maker, then it is bes to send it to them (talk to them about it first- go to Boluva.com and look for service centers).
The seller would probably just send it off anyway and increase the delay time to gettingit back.
All work should be done by one of their service centers or an authorised dealer, in order that the warranty is not affected.
With a cheap watch the answer would be to remove the back and put it in a warm dry place for a day or so but as yours is not in that catagory, I would not advise any DIY methods.
I know its' a pain to loose your watch for a time but only accredited service agents can guarantee the water resistance it a watch is opened.
If you look at your front dial you should see 30m, 60m, or 100m, if you see one of these numbers it is water proof, so for example 100 meters = 330 feet.
You should probably replace the battery using a new CR2016 battery. Let the watch set a while without the battery to help it reset. WR 100m just means the watch is "Water Resistant to 100 Meters". Then use the following info. Timex has two ways to find information about your particular watch. Some of these models only have a guide consisting of a few pages. If you don't have the manual, Try this link:
Now, look up the model number, or if you cannot find that, check the three-digit Module Number from the back of the watch. Click on it in the Module Table, and download a PDF of your watch setting-instructions/manual.
If you need further help, call Timex in Little Rock, Arkansas, phone 1-800-448-4639. I hope this helps you. Thanks, Bill
Clearly a screwdown crown is better for water resistance but most watches maintain a seal without it. I wouldn't test out the 100m claim but it should be safe in the pool.
