Maintenance

Cleaning:

Wipe the watch case and strap with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the watch's finish or strap material. For leather straps, use a specialized leather cleaner if necessary.

Battery Replacement:

The watch is powered by 1 Lithium Metal battery. When the display dims or functions become erratic, it may be time to replace the battery. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.

Water Resistance:

This watch is water-resistant. However, avoid operating buttons while the watch is submerged in water to prevent water ingress. Water resistance ratings are not permanent and may diminish over time due to wear and tear or impact.

Troubleshooting

• Display is blank or dim: The battery may be low or depleted. Replace the battery.
• Buttons are unresponsive: Ensure the watch is not in a locked mode (if applicable). If the issue persists, a battery replacement or professional inspection may be required.
• Time is inaccurate: Reset the time and date as per the 'Setup' section. If the problem continues, the watch may require servicing.
• Water inside the watch: Immediately take the watch to a qualified service center. Do not attempt to open the watch yourself.
