Operating Instructions
Digital Display Functions
- Chronograph: To activate the stopwatch, cycle to the chronograph mode using the mode button. Use the start/stop button to begin and pause timing, and the reset button to clear the measurement.

Water Resistance
This watch is water-resistant to 100 meters (330 feet / 10 ATM). This rating makes it suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and recreational diving. Avoid operating buttons while the watch is submerged to prevent water ingress.
Maintenance
Care and Cleaning
- Clean the watch case and rubber band 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.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, or harsh chemicals, which can damage the materials.
- The mineral crystal window is scratch-resistant but not scratch-proof. Handle with care to prevent damage.
Battery Information
The watch is powered by a quartz movement, requiring a battery. When the display dims or functions become erratic, it may indicate a low battery. Battery replacement should ideally be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.
Troubleshooting
- Display is blank or dim: Check battery level. If low, replace the battery. Ensure the watch has not been exposed to extreme cold.
- Time is incorrect: Re-enter time setting mode and adjust the time and date as per the "Setup" section.
- Buttons are unresponsive: Ensure no debris is lodged around the buttons. If the watch has been submerged, ensure it is dry. If issues persist, a professional inspection may be required.
- Water inside the watch: Immediately seek professional service. Do not attempt to open the watch yourself, as this will void the warranty and compromise water resistance.
