5. Maintenance and Care

5.1. Water Resistance

Your Skechers SR5116 Ardmore 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 suitable for diving or high-impact water sports.

• Do not operate buttons while the watch is submerged in water.
• Avoid exposing the watch to hot water or steam, as this can compromise the water-resistant seals.
• After exposure to saltwater, rinse the watch with fresh water and dry thoroughly.

5.2. Cleaning

To clean your watch, wipe it with a soft, damp cloth. For the strap, use mild soap and water if necessary, then rinse and dry completely. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

5.3. Storage

When not in use, store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

6. Troubleshooting

• Display is blank or dim: The battery may be low or depleted. Contact a qualified technician for battery replacement.
• Buttons are unresponsive: Ensure the watch is not in a locked mode (if applicable, though not a feature on this model). If issues persist, a reset may be required (consult a service center).
• Water inside the watch: Immediately take the watch to a professional watch repair service. Do not attempt to open it yourself.
• Incorrect time/date: Refer to Section 3.2 for instructions on how to set the time and date.
