Water Resistance
This watch is water resistant to 50 meters (WR50M). This means it is suitable for recreational swimming in shallow water. It is not suitable for diving or snorkeling. Do not operate buttons underwater. Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature changes, which can affect the water-resistant seals.

Battery replacement should ideally be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure the water resistance is maintained. If replacing the battery yourself, ensure the gasket is properly seated and the case back is securely fastened.
