Maintenance

Cleaning: Clean your watch regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water and thorough drying.
Water Resistance: While water resistant to 200m, avoid pressing any buttons when the watch is submerged to prevent water ingress. After exposure to saltwater, rinse the watch with fresh water and dry thoroughly.
Temperature Extremes: Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures (hot or cold) for prolonged periods, as this can affect battery life and internal components.
Battery Replacement: When the display dims or functions become erratic, it may be time for a battery replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by an authorized Timex service center to ensure water resistance is maintained.
Strap Care: The resin strap is durable but can be cleaned with soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals that may degrade the material.
