4. Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning Your Watch
To clean your watch, wipe it with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the watch's finish or seals. For the resin band, mild soap and water can be used, followed by thorough rinsing and drying.
4.2 Water Resistance
The Timex Marathon Digital Watch T5K359 is water-resistant to 50 meters (WR50M). This means it is suitable for recreational swimming in shallow water and showering. It is not suitable for diving, snorkeling, or high-impact water sports. Do not operate the buttons while the watch is submerged in water.
4.3 Battery Replacement
The watch uses one Lithium Metal battery. When the display becomes dim or stops functioning, the battery may need replacement. It is highly recommended to have the battery replaced by an authorized Timex service center or a professional watch repair shop to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.

5. Troubleshooting
- Display is blank or dim: This usually indicates a low battery. Replace the battery as described in Section 4.3.
- Incorrect time/date: Refer to Section 2.2 for instructions on how to set the time and date. Ensure you save the settings before exiting the mode.
- Buttons not responding: Ensure the watch is not in a locked mode (if applicable, consult the full manual for specific lock features).
