6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the watch regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and smudges. For the stainless steel band, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry one.
• Water Exposure: While water-resistant to 30M, avoid prolonged submersion or exposure to hot water, steam, or strong jets of water. Always ensure the watch is dry after contact with water.
• Chemicals: Keep the watch away from perfumes, solvents, detergents, and other chemicals that can damage the case plating or seals.
• Temperature Extremes: Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures (very hot or very cold) as this can affect battery life and accuracy.
• Battery Replacement: When the display dims or functions become erratic, it may be time to replace the battery. It is recommended to have this done by a professional watch repair service to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.
• Strap Adjustment: The stainless steel strap can be adjusted. If you need to resize it, use appropriate tools or seek professional assistance to avoid damaging the clasp or links.

7. Troubleshooting

• Display is blank or dim: The battery may be low or depleted. Replace the battery.
• Time is inaccurate: The watch may need to be reset or the battery is low. Follow the time setting instructions.
• Buttons are unresponsive: Ensure the watch is not wet, especially if it has been exposed to water. If the issue persists, the internal mechanism might be faulty.
• Water inside the watch: If condensation or water droplets appear inside the watch, stop using it immediately and take it to a professional for inspection and repair. This indicates a breach in the water resistance.

8. User Tips

• Water Resistance Clarification: While rated 30M, this means it can withstand splashes and brief immersion. It is generally not recommended for prolonged swimming or diving, and definitely avoid pressing buttons underwater.
• Time Adjustment: If you encounter difficulty adjusting the time, refer to the detailed instructions in Section 5.2 or contact customer support for guidance.
• Strap Comfort: Ensure the bracelet clasp is securely fastened but not too tight for optimal comfort and to prevent skin irritation.
