3. Operating Features
INDIGLO® Backlight:
To activate the INDIGLO® backlight, simply press the crown inwards. The entire dial will illuminate, allowing you to read the time clearly in low-light or dark conditions. Release the crown to turn off the backlight.
Water Resistance:
This watch is water resistant to 50 meters (165 feet). This means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming. It is not recommended for diving, snorkeling, or high-impact water sports. Avoid operating the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged to prevent water intrusion.
