Maintenance and Care

Cleaning Your Watch

To clean your watch, wipe it gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the resin case and strap or affect the watch's water resistance.

Water Resistance

This watch is water resistant to 50 meters (165 feet). This rating means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming. It is not suitable for diving, snorkeling, or high-impact water sports. Avoid pressing buttons underwater, as this can compromise the water seal.

Storage

When not in use, store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause the resin material to degrade over time.

Troubleshooting

• Display is blank or dim: The battery may be low or depleted. Replace the battery (professional service recommended).
• Buttons are unresponsive: Ensure the watch is not in a locked mode (if applicable, though not a common feature for this model). If the issue persists, a reset may be needed (consult professional service if no clear reset procedure is in manual).
• Time is incorrect: Re-enter the time setting mode and adjust the time and date as per the "Setting Time and Date" section. Check if the 12/24 hour format is set correctly.
• Water inside the watch: Immediately cease use and take the watch to a qualified watch repair professional. Do not attempt to dry it yourself, as this can cause further damage.
