Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the watch regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. For stubborn grime, use a slightly damp cloth and then dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Water Resistance: This watch is water resistant up to 50 meters (5 ATM). This means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming or showering. Do not press any buttons while the watch is submerged in water, as this can compromise the water seal. Avoid hot water, as temperature changes can affect the seals.
- Temperature: Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures (hot or cold) for extended periods, as this can affect battery life and accuracy.
- Impact: While durable, avoid strong impacts or dropping the watch, which can damage internal components or the case.
- Battery Replacement: When the display becomes dim or the watch stops functioning, the battery may need replacement. This should ideally be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and functionality.
