Maintenance

Cleaning Your Watch

To maintain the appearance and functionality of your watch:

• Wipe the watch case and strap regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the watch's finish or seals.
• For watches with a resin strap, rinse with fresh water after exposure to saltwater or chlorine.

Battery Information

The watch is powered by a long-lasting 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 properly maintained.

Troubleshooting Guide

If you encounter issues with your watch, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Display is blank or flickering: This often indicates a low battery. Replace the battery as described in the Maintenance section.
• Buttons are unresponsive: Ensure the watch is not in a locked mode (if applicable, though this model typically does not have one). If the issue persists, a battery replacement might be needed, or a soft reset by removing and reinserting the battery (recommended to be done by a professional).
• Time is inaccurate: Re-set the time and date following the instructions in the Setup section. If the watch continues to lose or gain time significantly, it may require servicing.
• Water inside the watch: If moisture appears inside the watch, stop using it immediately and have it inspected by a professional. This indicates a compromised water resistance seal.
