5. Maintenance

Regularly wipe your watch with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt and moisture. For the stainless steel band, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by drying. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

5.2 Eco-Drive Charging

To maintain optimal charge, expose your watch to light regularly. If stored in darkness for extended periods, the watch may stop. A brief exposure to bright light will typically restart it. For prolonged storage, ensure it receives sufficient light to maintain a full charge.

• Watch Not Running: Ensure the watch has been exposed to sufficient light for charging. Even a few minutes of bright light can restart a stopped watch.
• Incorrect Time/Date: Refer to the user guide for detailed instructions on how to correctly set the time and date.
