Maintenance

Cleaning Your Watch

To keep your watch looking its best, wipe it regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the resin case and strap.

Water Resistance

This watch is water resistant to 100 meters (330 feet). This means it is generally suitable for swimming and snorkeling. However, it is not suitable for scuba diving. Avoid pressing buttons underwater, as this can compromise the water resistance seal.

Important: Exposure to hot water (e.g., hot tubs, showers) can damage the watch's seals and is not recommended, even for water-resistant watches.

Battery Replacement

The watch uses 1 Lithium Metal battery (included). When the display dims or functions become erratic, it may be time to replace the battery. It is recommended to have battery replacement performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure the water resistance seal is properly re-installed.
