4. Second Time Zone
This watch supports a second time zone. Consult the full user manual (link provided in Warranty & Support) for detailed instructions on setting and switching between time zones, as this can vary by specific watch module.
5. Backlight (EL)
Press the EL button (bottom right) to illuminate the display for easy reading in low-light conditions. The backlight will remain active for a few seconds.

Maintenance
1. Battery Replacement
The watch requires one Lithium Metal battery (CR1616). Battery replacement should ideally be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance. If replacing yourself, carefully remove the four small screws on the back case using a precision screwdriver. Note the battery orientation. After replacement, ensure the gasket is properly seated before re-securing the back case. Some models may require short-circuiting a specific contact point after battery replacement to reset the module; refer to the full user manual for details.

2. Cleaning
To clean your watch, wipe the case and resin strap with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water and thorough drying. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the watch's finish or strap.
3. Storage
When not in use for extended periods, store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keeping it in its original packaging or a watch box can help protect it from dust and scratches.
