Setup

1. Initial Inspection

Upon unboxing, inspect your watch for any visible damage. Ensure all components, including the watch face, nylon band, and buckle, are present and securely attached.

2. Adjusting the Strap

The watch features a durable nylon strap with a tang buckle closure. Adjust the strap to fit comfortably around your wrist. Ensure it is snug enough to prevent excessive movement but not so tight as to restrict circulation.

Maintenance

Cleaning Your Watch

To clean the watch case and crystal, use a soft, damp cloth. For the nylon strap, a mild soap solution and a soft brush can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water and air drying. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Water Resistance

Your watch is water resistant to 100 meters (330 feet / 10 ATM). This means it is suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and showering. However, avoid operating buttons underwater, as this can compromise the water seal. Always ensure the crown (if present) is pushed in completely after setting the time.

Battery Replacement

The watch is powered by a battery. When the display becomes dim or stops functioning, the battery may need replacement. It is recommended to have battery replacement performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure the water resistance seal is properly maintained.

Troubleshooting

• Display is blank or dim: The battery may be low or depleted. Refer to the 'Battery Replacement' section.
• Buttons are unresponsive: Ensure the watch is not in a locked mode (if applicable). If the issue persists, a battery reset or replacement might be necessary.
• Water inside the watch: If moisture appears inside the watch, cease use immediately and have it inspected by a professional. This indicates a compromised water seal.
• Incorrect time display: Re-set the time following the 'Setting Time and Date' instructions. Ensure the correct AM/PM setting is selected if applicable.
