5. Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning
To maintain the appearance of your watch, regularly wipe the case and band with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. For stainless steel bands, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid using detergents, solvents, or abrasive cleaners.
5.2 Battery Replacement
When the watch stops or the hands move erratically, the battery may need replacement. It is strongly recommended to have the battery replaced by an authorized Nixon service center or a professional watchmaker. This ensures the correct battery type is used and the watch's water resistance is properly resealed.
5.3 Storage
When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and strong magnetic fields. The original watch box provides suitable protection.
6. Troubleshooting
- Watch Not Running: Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If the watch still does not run, the battery may need replacement.
- Incorrect Time/Date: Refer to Section 3.1 for instructions on setting the time and date.
- Chronograph Hands Not Resetting to Zero: This may indicate a need for chronograph calibration or service. Consult a professional watch technician.
- Condensation Under Crystal: If condensation appears under the crystal, it may indicate a loss of water resistance. Have the watch inspected by a professional immediately to prevent internal damage.
