Maintenance

1. Cleaning Your Watch

Wipe the watch case and band regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and mild soap, then wipe dry immediately. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

2. Water Resistance

This watch has a water resistance rating of 5 ATM (50 meters). This means it is suitable for everyday use and can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water. Do not press any buttons while the watch is submerged in water. Not suitable for showering, swimming, or diving.

3. Battery Replacement

When the display becomes dim or functions become erratic, the battery may need replacement. Battery replacement should ideally be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and water resistance. Opening the watch yourself may void the warranty.

4. Storage

Store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and strong magnetic fields when not in use.
