4. Maintenance
4.1 Water Resistance
This watch has a water resistance depth of 50 meters (5 ATM). This means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, but not for diving or snorkeling.
- Do not operate the crown or push-buttons when the watch is wet or submerged in water.
- Avoid exposing the watch to hot water or steam, as this can compromise the water-resistant seals.
- If the watch is exposed to saltwater, rinse it with fresh water and dry it thoroughly.
4.2 Cleaning Your Watch
- Wipe the watch case and crystal with a soft, damp cloth.
- For leather straps, avoid prolonged exposure to water and harsh chemicals. Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry.
4.3 Battery Replacement
The watch requires 1 Lithium Metal battery. Battery life varies depending on usage. When the digital display fades or the watch stops running, it's time for a battery replacement.
- It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.
5. Troubleshooting
- Watch not running: Ensure the crown is fully pushed in. If the watch still does not run, the battery may need replacement.
- Digital display blank or dim: This typically indicates a low or depleted battery. Refer to section 4.3 for battery replacement.
- Condensation inside the crystal: This may indicate a breach in the water resistance. Avoid further exposure to water and seek professional service immediately.
- Buttons not responding: Ensure the watch is not in a locked mode (if applicable) or that the battery is not low.
