3. Maintenance
3.1 Water Resistance
This watch has a water resistance depth of 30 meters (3 ATM). This means it is suitable for daily use and can withstand splashes or brief immersion in water. It is not suitable for swimming, diving, or prolonged water activities. Do not operate buttons while the watch is wet or submerged.
3.2 Cleaning
To clean your watch, wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid using chemical cleaners, solvents, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the watch's finish or components.
3.3 Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by a product-specific battery. When the display becomes dim or functions become erratic, it may be time to replace the battery. Battery replacement should ideally be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and water resistance integrity. Attempting to replace the battery yourself may void the warranty and compromise water resistance.
