It is not recommended for scuba diving or prolonged submersion at significant depths. Avoid operating buttons while the watch is wet or submerged to prevent water ingress.

5.2 Cleaning and Care

• Wipe the watch case and crystal with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• The nylon strap can be hand-washed with mild soap and water, then air-dried. Ensure the strap is completely dry before reattaching to the watch or wearing.
• The watch features a scratch-resistant mineral glass crystal, but it is not impervious to all damage. Avoid direct impact or contact with sharp objects.

5.3 Battery Replacement

The watch is powered by a standard watch battery. When the display dims or becomes unresponsive, the battery may need replacement. It is recommended to have battery replacement performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.
