Maintenance

Proper care ensures the longevity and performance of your MARATHON Adanac Navigator II watch.

1. Battery Replacement

The Adanac Navigator II (newer versions) features a solid stainless steel back, meaning there is no external battery compartment hatch. Battery replacement requires professional service to maintain water resistance. Attempting to open the watch yourself may void the warranty and compromise its water resistance.

2. Water Resistance

Your watch is rated for water resistance up to 30 meters (3 ATM). This means it is suitable for splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water. It is not recommended for swimming, diving, or prolonged water exposure. Ensure all buttons are not operated while the watch is wet to prevent water ingress.

Note: Some reviews suggest newer versions may have a higher water resistance rating (e.g., 20 ATM). However, official specifications indicate 30 meters. Always adhere to the lower stated rating for safety.

3. Acrylic Face Care

The watch features an acrylic crystal face. While durable, acrylic can be prone to scratches. To minimize scratches:

  • Avoid contact with abrasive surfaces.
  • Clean with a soft, damp cloth.
  • Minor scratches can often be buffed out with specialized acrylic polish.

4. Cleaning

Clean your watch regularly with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For the strap, use mild soap and water if necessary, then rinse thoroughly and dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals or solvents.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your watch, refer to the following common problems and solutions.

Problem Possible Cause Solution
Watch is not functioning / Dead display Depleted battery. The battery needs replacement. Contact an authorized service center for professional battery replacement.
Inaccurate compass readings Needs calibration; strong magnetic interference. Perform compass calibration in an open area away from electronics and metal objects. Ensure declination is set correctly.
Display is dim or hard to read Low battery; contrast setting; environmental lighting. Check battery level. Adjust display contrast (refer to Setup section). Use backlight in low light.
Buttons are unresponsive Watch is wet; temporary software glitch. Ensure watch is dry before operating buttons. Try a soft reset (if applicable, consult specific model instructions or remove battery if possible). If issue persists, seek professional service.
