Operating Instructions
Water Resistance:
Your Armitron 20/5118SVSVBN watch is water resistant to 50 meters (165 feet). This rating means the watch is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming. It is not suitable for diving or snorkeling. To maintain water resistance:
- Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.
- Do not operate the crown while the watch is wet or submerged in water.
- Avoid exposing the watch to hot water, steam, or extreme temperature changes, as this can compromise the seals.
Maintenance
Cleaning Your Watch:
- Wipe the watch case and crystal with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
- For the leather strap, avoid prolonged exposure to water, direct sunlight, and harsh chemicals, as these can cause damage or discoloration.
- If the watch comes into contact with saltwater, rinse it gently with fresh water and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
Strap Care:
The brown croco-grain leather strap is designed for durability and comfort. To extend its lifespan:
- Avoid excessive moisture and sweat.
- Allow the strap to air dry naturally if it gets wet.
- Periodically clean the strap with a specialized leather cleaner, following the product's instructions.
