5. Maintenance
5.1. Water Resistance
This watch features 30M (3 Bar) water resistance. This means it is suitable for daily use, such as washing hands, swimming, or exposure to rain. It is not recommended for diving, snorkeling, or high-pressure water activities like showering with hot water, as steam can penetrate the seals.
5.2. Cleaning
Wipe the watch case and strap regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stainless steel bands, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid using chemical cleaners or abrasive materials.
5.3. Battery Replacement
The watch uses a CR2032 battery. When the display becomes dim or functions become erratic, it may be time to replace the battery. Battery replacement should ideally be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.
6. Troubleshooting
- Display is blank or dim: The battery may be low or depleted. Replace the battery (CR2032).
- Buttons are unresponsive: Try resetting the watch by pressing all buttons simultaneously for a few seconds, or by removing and reinserting the battery (if comfortable doing so). Ensure no buttons are stuck.
- Time is incorrect: Re-enter the time setting mode and adjust the time and date as per Section 3.
- Water inside the watch: If condensation or water appears inside the watch, stop using it immediately and have it inspected by a professional. This indicates a compromised seal.
If problems persist, please contact the seller or a qualified watch repair service.
