3. Operating the Watch

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 resin case and strap or the mineral crystal lens. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water and thorough drying.
4.2 Battery Replacement
When the watch display dims or functions become erratic, it may be time to replace the battery. While it is possible to replace the battery yourself, it is recommended to have it replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance. Improper battery replacement can compromise the watch's water resistance.
4.3 Water Resistance
This watch is water resistant to 50 meters (5 ATM). This means it is suitable for showering, swimming in shallow water, and general water activities. It is not suitable for diving or high-impact water sports. Do not operate buttons while the watch is submerged in water, as this can allow water to enter the case.
5. Troubleshooting
- Blank Display: If the display is blank, the battery may be depleted. Refer to Section 4.2 for battery replacement.
- Incorrect Time/Date: If the time or date is incorrect, follow the steps in Section 2.2 to reset them. Ensure you are in the correct 12-hour or 24-hour format if applicable.
- Buttons Not Responding: Ensure the watch is not in a locked mode (if applicable, consult a more detailed model-specific manual). If buttons remain unresponsive, a battery issue or internal malfunction may be present. Try a soft reset by removing and reinserting the battery (if comfortable doing so, otherwise seek professional help).
- Fogging Under Crystal: If condensation appears under the crystal, it indicates a breach in the watch's water resistance. Avoid further water exposure and seek professional service immediately to prevent damage to the internal components.
