4. Maintenance
Cleaning Your Watch:
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your watch, regular cleaning is recommended.
- For the stainless steel case and silicone band, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and grime.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the watch's finish or seals.
- For water-resistant models, a mild soap solution can be used, but ensure the crown is fully closed before cleaning and rinse thoroughly with clean water afterward.
Battery Replacement:
The watch is powered by an SR626SW battery. When the watch stops running, it indicates that the battery needs to be replaced. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure the watch's seals and water resistance are maintained.

5. Troubleshooting
Watch Not Running:
- Check the Crown: Ensure the crown is fully pushed in. If it's pulled out, the watch will not run.
- Battery: If the watch has stopped completely, the battery may need replacement. Refer to the 'Battery Replacement' section.
Incorrect Time:
- Reset Time: Follow the 'Setting the Time' instructions in the Initial Setup section to adjust the time.
Water Inside the Watch:
- If you notice condensation or water inside the watch, immediately take it to a qualified watch technician for inspection and repair. Do not attempt to open the watch yourself, as this will void the warranty and compromise water resistance.
