Water Resistance (50M):

The watch is water-resistant up to 50 meters (5 ATM). This means it is suitable for daily use, such as hand washing, sweating, and rain exposure. It is NOT suitable for showering, swimming, or diving, and buttons should not be operated underwater.

5. Maintenance

Cleaning:

• Wipe the watch regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt and sweat.
• For the silicone strap, a mild soap and water solution can be used, followed by thorough rinsing and drying.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the watch's finish or components.

Water Resistance Care:

• Do not operate buttons while the watch is wet or submerged.
• Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature changes (e.g., hot showers followed by cold water), as this can compromise the water-resistant seals.
• If the watch is exposed to saltwater, rinse it with fresh water and dry thoroughly.

Battery Replacement:

The watch uses a MAXELL original battery. When the display dims or functions become erratic, it may be time for a battery replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a professional watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.

Acrylic Mirror Surface:

The watch features an acrylic mirror surface (Hardlex) which is designed to be anti-scratch and anti-wear. While durable, avoid direct impact with sharp objects to prevent damage.

6. Troubleshooting

Digital Display is Blank or Dim:

• Check Battery: The battery may be low. Replace the battery (refer to Maintenance section).
• Temperature: Extreme cold can temporarily affect LCD display performance. Allow the watch to return to normal temperature.

Buttons Not Responding:

• Reset: Try pressing all four buttons simultaneously for a few seconds to perform a soft reset.
• Obstruction: Ensure no dirt or debris is lodged around the buttons.

Inaccurate Time:
