Using the adjustment ring
For setting the start time and duration of an activity. Line up the marker on the adjustment ring with the minute hand. Timing starts at the time indicated by the marker. The elapsed time is indicated by the minute hand pointing the number on the adjustment ring.
It is from the manual of a watch. Form a line with the marker and the minute hand? I do not have more context other than this. What are the marker and the adjustment ring usually located at on a watch?

turn the adjustment ring until the mark is in line with the minute hand
It sounds as if the adjustment ring iis on the outside of the watch, and that this rotates so that a mark on the ring can be brought into line with the minute hand. As time passes, the minute hand moves around, the marker stays still and time elapsed can be measured between where the marker is and where the minute hand is.
