Water Resistance
This watch is water resistant to 50 meters (165 feet). This rating means it is generally suitable for short periods of recreational swimming. However, it is not suitable for diving or snorkeling. Avoid pressing any buttons or operating the crown while the watch is wet or submerged to prevent water intrusion.
Maintenance
Cleaning Your Watch
To clean your watch, wipe the case and strap with a soft, damp cloth. For silicone straps, mild soap and water can be used. Ensure the watch is completely dry before wearing. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the watch's finish.
Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by one lithium metal battery. When the watch stops or the Indiglo light dims significantly, the battery may need replacement. Battery replacement should ideally be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.
Water Resistance Care
To maintain the water resistance of your watch, ensure the crown is always pushed in completely. Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature changes, such as moving from a hot sauna to cold water, as this can affect the seals. Have the water resistance seals checked periodically by a professional, especially after battery replacement.
Troubleshooting
- Watch not running or digital display blank: The battery may be depleted. Replace the battery.
- Analog hands not moving: Check if the crown is pushed in completely. If it is, the battery may be low or the movement may require service.
- Digital display showing incorrect time: Refer to the 'Setting Digital Time and Date' section to reset the digital time.
- Water inside the watch: Immediately take the watch to a qualified service center. Do not attempt to open the watch yourself, as this will void the warranty and likely cause further damage.
