4.3 Water Resistance

Your SKMEI 1189 watch is rated for 50 meters (5 ATM) of water resistance. This means it is suitable for daily use, showering, and swimming in shallow water. However, it is not suitable for diving, snorkeling, or high-impact water sports. To maintain water resistance, do not operate any buttons while the watch is submerged in water.

5. Care and Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the watch case and strap regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by drying.
• Avoid Chemicals: Do not expose the watch to solvents, detergents, perfumes, or other chemical agents, as these can damage the case, strap, or seals.
• Temperature Extremes: Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures (hot or cold) or sudden temperature changes, which can affect its accuracy and water resistance.
• Magnetic Fields: Keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields, as they can interfere with the movement and accuracy.
• Battery Replacement: When the digital display dims or the watch stops functioning, the battery may need replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your SKMEI 1189 watch, please refer to the following common solutions:

• Digital Display is Blank or Dim: This usually indicates a low battery. Replace the battery as described in the Maintenance section.
• Analog Hands Not Moving: Ensure the crown is fully pushed in. If it is, the analog battery may be depleted. Seek professional service for battery replacement.
• Time Inaccuracy: Re-set both the analog and digital time following the instructions in the Setup section. If inaccuracy persists, the watch may require servicing.
• Buttons Unresponsive: Ensure the watch is dry and free from debris around the buttons. If buttons are stuck, do not force them.
• Water Inside the Watch: If you notice condensation or water droplets inside the watch, immediately take it to a professional watch repair service. Do not attempt to open it yourself.
• Difficulty Operating Functions: Refer back to the detailed instructions in the Setup and Operating sections. The multi-functional nature of the watch requires careful attention to button presses.
