Regular cleaning helps maintain the appearance and function of your watch.

- For metal bands, a soft brush with mild soapy water can be used, followed by thorough rinsing and drying. Ensure the watch's water resistance rating is suitable for this.
- Avoid using chemical cleaners, solvents, or abrasive materials.

When the digital display becomes dim or the analog hands stop moving, the battery may need replacement. Battery replacement should ideally be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.
