3.4 Water Resistance
The SKMEI 2498 watch has a water resistance rating of 5ATM (50 meters). This means it is suitable for:
- Daily use
- Washing hands
- Exposure to rain
- Swimming in shallow water
Important: Do NOT use the watch with hot water or warm water, such as during bathing or showering. Water vapor can penetrate the watch and cause internal damage. Only cold water exposure is recommended.
4. Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your SKMEI 2498 watch.
- Cleaning: Regularly wipe the watch case and band with a soft, dry cloth. For light dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying.
- Avoid Chemicals: Do not expose the watch to chemical-containing cosmetics, solvents, or corrosive daily necessities. These substances can corrode the plating, finish, and seals of the watch.
- Water Precautions: Adhere strictly to the water resistance guidelines. Avoid hot water, steam, and warm water environments (e.g., hot tubs, saunas, hot showers) as these can compromise the watch's seals and lead to water ingress.
- Battery Replacement: The watch includes a battery. If the display dims significantly or functions become erratic, it may indicate a low battery. Battery replacement should ideally be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and function.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your SKMEI 2498 watch, try the following steps:
- Blank or Dim Display: Check if the battery is low. If the issue persists after a professional battery replacement, contact customer service.
- Incorrect Time/Date: Attempt to reset the time and date following the general instructions in Section 3.3. If you are unable to adjust it correctly, contact customer service.
- Unresponsive Buttons: Ensure no debris is lodged around the buttons. Try pressing them firmly. If a button remains unresponsive, it may require professional inspection.
- Water Inside Watch: If you notice condensation or water inside the watch, stop using it immediately and seek professional repair to prevent further damage.
For any complex issues or problems not resolved by the above steps, please contact the seller's customer service for further assistance.
