Figure 5: Water Resistance Guidelines
Important Notices:
- Avoid hot water and steam.
- In some cases, water vapor may enter the watch, which is normal. Placing the watch with a desiccant will help it disappear.
Maintenance
General Care:

- Avoid exposing the watch to chemical cosmetics or corrosive daily necessities, as these can corrode the plating color of the watch surface.
- Ensure the watch receives regular exposure to light to maintain its solar power charge.
Water Exposure:
- Do not use the watch with hot water or warm water for bathing and showering. The water vapor can enter the watch.
- The watch is designed for cold water resistance only.
