Maintenance
Water Resistance
The SKMEI 2517 watch is water-resistant up to 50 meters (5ATM). This means it is suitable for:
- Daily use, such as washing hands.
- Showering (avoid hot water as steam can penetrate seals).
- Swimming in shallow water.
- Exposure to rain.
Important: Do NOT press any buttons while the watch is submerged in water, as this can compromise the water resistance.

Cleaning
To keep your watch in good condition:
- Wipe the watch case and strap regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
- For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly with clean water, then dry completely.
- Avoid using chemical cleaners, as they can damage the watch materials.
Battery Replacement
The watch uses a CR2025 battery. When the display dims or functions become erratic, it may be time to replace the battery. It is recommended to have battery replacement performed by a professional watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your SKMEI 2517 watch, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Display is blank or dim: The battery may be low or depleted. Replace the CR2025 battery.
- Buttons are unresponsive: Ensure the watch is not in a locked mode (if applicable, though this model does not explicitly state a lock feature). Try pressing the RESET button to see if it restores functionality. If not, a battery replacement might be needed.
- Time is inaccurate: Re-set the time and date as per the 'Setting Time and Date' section. If the inaccuracy persists, the battery may be weak, or the watch module might require servicing.
- Alarm not sounding: Check if the alarm function is activated in the alarm setting mode. Ensure the volume is not muted (if applicable, though this model typically has a fixed alarm sound).
- Backlight not working: Check the battery level. If the battery is low, the backlight may not function or appear dim.
For persistent issues not covered here, please contact customer support.
User Tips
- Regular Cleaning: A quick wipe down after workouts or exposure to sweat can prevent residue buildup and keep the watch looking new.
- Button Care: Avoid pressing buttons excessively hard or rapidly, especially when wet, to prevent wear and tear on the internal mechanisms and maintain water resistance.
- Battery Life: To maximize battery life, avoid prolonged use of the EL backlight.
- Strap Adjustment: Ensure the TPU strap is adjusted comfortably – not too tight to restrict circulation, and not too loose to move freely on your wrist.
