4. Maintenance

4.1 Water Resistance

This watch is rated for 100-meter water resistance. This means it is suitable for swimming, showering, and snorkeling. However, it is not suitable for scuba diving. Do not operate buttons while the watch is wet or submerged to prevent water ingress.

4.2 Cleaning

Wipe the watch case and band with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid using chemical cleaners, as they may damage the watch's finish or seals.

4.3 Battery Replacement

The watch operates on a quartz movement, powered by a battery. When the display becomes dim or functions become erratic, the battery may need replacement. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and water resistance integrity.

4.4 Crystal Care

The watch features a protective mineral crystal. While durable, it is not scratch-proof. Avoid contact with abrasive surfaces to prevent damage.

5. Troubleshooting

• Digital Display is Blank or Dim: This typically indicates a low battery. Arrange for battery replacement by a professional.
• Analog Hands Do Not Match Digital Time: Perform the hand alignment procedure as described in the full module manual, or seek professional assistance.
• Watch Not Keeping Accurate Time: Ensure the correct city code and DST settings are configured. If the issue persists after battery replacement, consult a service center.
• Water Inside the Watch: Immediately take the watch to a qualified service center. Do not attempt to dry it yourself, as this can cause further damage.
