Water Resistance
Your Calypso K5609/3 watch is water-resistant up to 100 meters (10 ATM). This means it is suitable for swimming and snorkeling. However, it is not recommended for scuba diving. Do not operate any buttons while the watch is submerged in water, as this can compromise the water seal.

Regularly clean your watch to maintain its appearance and function. Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to wipe the case and strap. For the plastic strap, mild soap and water can be used, but ensure no soap residue remains. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by a quartz battery. When the display becomes dim or the watch stops functioning, the battery may need replacement. Battery life varies depending on usage, especially backlight and alarm functions. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure the water resistance seal is properly maintained.
