Maintenance

General Care

• Clean the watch regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

• Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight for prolonged periods.

Battery Replacement

The watch uses a Lithium Metal battery. When the display fades or stops functioning, the battery needs replacement. The back case is secured with screws, allowing for user replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure water resistance is maintained.
