Maintenance
Cleaning Your Watch
To maintain the appearance and functionality of your watch:
- Wipe the watch case and strap regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
- For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly with clean water.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the watch's finish and materials.
- Ensure the watch is completely dry before storing or wearing.
Water Resistance
The Soleus Ultra Sole Digital Watch is water-resistant to 100 meters (330 feet). This means it is suitable for showering, swimming, and snorkeling. However, it is important to note:
- Do not press any buttons while the watch is submerged in water. Pressing buttons underwater can compromise the water seal and lead to water ingress.
- Avoid exposing the watch to hot water or steam (e.g., hot showers, saunas, hot tubs), as extreme temperature changes can affect the seals.
- After exposure to saltwater, rinse the watch thoroughly with fresh water and dry it with a soft cloth.
Battery Replacement
The watch uses a product-specific battery. When the display becomes dim or functions become erratic, it may be time for a battery replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure the water resistance is maintained.
