Maintenance
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 resin case and strap.
Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by a single product-specific battery (e.g., CR2016). When the display becomes dim or functions become erratic, it's time to replace the battery. It is recommended to have battery replacement performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.
Water Resistance
This watch is designed with a certain level of water resistance. Refer to the specifications section for details. Avoid pressing buttons underwater, as this can compromise the water resistance. Do not expose the watch to hot water or steam, as this can damage the seals.
