Maintenance
1. Cleaning Your Watch
To clean your watch, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry cloth. Avoid using chemical cleaners, solvents, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the watch case and strap.
2. Battery Replacement
The watch uses a Lithium Ion battery. When the display becomes dim or functions become erratic, it may be time for a battery replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure the water resistance seal is properly maintained.
3. Storage
When not in use for extended periods, store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and strong magnetic fields. This helps preserve battery life and the integrity of the watch materials.
