Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: Wipe the watch regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and mild soap, then dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Water Resistance: The watch is rated for 5ATM (50 meters) water resistance. This means it is suitable for showering, swimming in shallow water, and general water exposure. Do NOT press any buttons while the watch is submerged or wet, as this can compromise the water seal. Avoid hot water, steam, and prolonged exposure to water.
- Temperature: Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures (hot or cold) or sudden temperature changes, as this can affect its accuracy and lifespan.
- Shock Resistance: While shock-resistant, avoid unnecessary impacts or dropping the watch.
- Battery Replacement: When the display becomes dim or the watch stops functioning, the battery may need replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure the water resistance seal is properly maintained.
Troubleshooting
- Watch not working / Display blank: Check if the battery needs replacement. If recently replaced, ensure it was installed correctly.
- Incorrect time/date: Follow the 'Setting Digital Time and Date' and 'Setting Analog Time' instructions carefully. Ensure the 12/24 hour format is set as desired.
- Buttons not responding: Ensure the watch is not in a locked mode (if applicable, though not a common feature for this model). If buttons are stuck, gently clean around them. If the issue persists, professional service may be required.
- Condensation inside the watch: This indicates a breach in the water resistance. Stop using the watch immediately and seek professional repair to prevent further damage.
