Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the watch case and strap with a soft, damp cloth. For the nylon strap, mild soap and water can be used, ensuring it is thoroughly rinsed and dried.

- Impact: While durable, avoid strong impacts or dropping the watch to prevent damage to the crystal or internal mechanism.
- Water Resistance: Ensure the watch is dry before pressing any buttons after exposure to water. If the watch is exposed to saltwater, rinse it with fresh water and dry thoroughly.
