5. Maintenance

Water Resistance:

The SKMEI Model 1268 watch is water-resistant up to 50 meters (5 ATM). This means it is suitable for showering, swimming in shallow water, and general water exposure. However, it is not recommended for diving or prolonged submersion. Do not operate buttons while the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise the water seal.

Cleaning:

To clean your watch, wipe it with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the watch's finish or strap material.

Battery Replacement:

When the display becomes dim or the watch stops functioning, the battery may need replacement. Battery replacement should ideally be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure the water resistance seal is properly maintained. The watch uses a standard watch battery (e.g., CR2025 as indicated on the case back).

6. Troubleshooting

Display Issues (Dim or Missing Segments):

• Cause: Low battery or internal circuit issue.
• Solution: Replace the battery. If the issue persists after battery replacement, contact customer support.

Incorrect Time:

• Cause: Time was not set correctly or buttons were accidentally pressed.
• Solution: Re-set the time and date following the instructions in Section 3.

Buttons Not Responding:

• Cause: Watch may be in a locked mode, or internal issue.
• Solution: Try pressing all buttons firmly. If unresponsive, a battery reset (removing and reinserting the battery) might be necessary, but this should be done by a professional.

Water Damage:

• Cause: Exceeding water resistance limits or operating buttons underwater.
• Solution: Immediately dry the watch. If moisture is visible inside the display, seek professional repair to prevent further damage.
