5. Water Resistance Guidelines

Your Armitron Sport watch is water resistant to 100 meters (330 feet). This rating means the watch is suitable for swimming and snorkeling. It is not suitable for scuba diving or high-impact water sports.

• Do not operate buttons while the watch is wet or submerged.
• Avoid exposing the watch to hot water, steam, or extreme temperature changes, as this can compromise the water seals.
• After exposure to salt water, rinse the watch with fresh water and dry it thoroughly.

6. Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: Clean your watch regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with fresh water and thorough drying.
• Avoid Chemicals: Do not expose your watch to solvents, detergents, perfumes, or cosmetic sprays, as these can damage the resin materials and seals.
• Temperature Extremes: Avoid prolonged exposure to very high or very low temperatures, which can affect battery life and watch accuracy.
• Battery Replacement: When the display becomes dim or functions become erratic, it's time to replace the battery. We recommend having the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper re-sealing and maintain water resistance. The watch uses 1 Lithium Metal battery.

7. Troubleshooting

• Display is blank or dim: The battery may be low or depleted. Replace the battery.
• Buttons do not respond: Try pressing all buttons firmly. If unresponsive, the battery may be very low, or a reset might be needed (consult a technician).
• Time is inaccurate: Reset the time as per Section 3. If the problem persists, the battery may be low, or the watch may require servicing.
• Condensation inside the watch: This indicates a breach in the water resistance. Avoid further water exposure and have the watch inspected by a professional immediately.
