Water Resistance (5ATM)

Your SKMEI 0989 watch is rated 5ATM (50 meters / 165 feet) water resistant. This means it is suitable for everyday use, including showering, swimming in shallow water, and light rain exposure. It is not suitable for diving, snorkeling, or high-pressure water activities.

Important: Do not operate any buttons while the watch is submerged in water, as this can compromise the water resistance seal.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the watch regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and mild soap, then dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals.
• Battery: The watch uses a Japanese battery. When the display becomes dim or functions become erratic, it may be time for a battery replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure the water resistance seal is maintained.
• Storage: Store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.

Troubleshooting

• Display is blank or dim: The battery may be low or depleted. Replace the battery.
• Time is incorrect: Re-set the time and date following the instructions in the 'Setup and Initial Settings' section.
• Buttons are unresponsive: Ensure the watch is not in a locked mode (if applicable, though this model typically does not have one). If issues persist, a battery replacement or professional inspection may be required.
• Water inside the watch: Immediately take the watch to a professional for inspection and repair to prevent further damage.
