Safety Information
- Water Resistance: This watch is water-resistant up to 100 meters. Avoid operating the crown or pushers when the watch is wet to prevent water ingress. Do not expose the watch to hot water or steam, as this can compromise the seals.
- Battery: The watch uses a quartz movement powered by a battery. Do not attempt to open the watch case or replace the battery yourself, as this may damage the watch and void the warranty. Contact an authorized service center for battery replacement.
- Temperature: Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures (below 0°C or above 60°C) or sudden temperature changes, as this can affect accuracy and battery life.
- Magnetic Fields: Keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields, such as those produced by speakers, refrigerators, or mobile phones, as they can affect the watch's accuracy.
