Maintenance

Cleaning:

To clean your watch, wipe it with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, which can damage the resin case and strap.

Water Resistance Care:

After exposure to saltwater, rinse the watch with fresh water and dry it thoroughly. Ensure the watch is completely dry before pressing any buttons.

Battery Replacement:

The watch uses one Lithium Metal battery. When the display dims 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 maintained.

Troubleshooting

Display is blank or dim:

• The battery may be low. Consider professional battery replacement.
• Ensure the watch has not been exposed to extreme temperatures.

Buttons are unresponsive:

• Ensure the watch is not wet. Do not press buttons underwater.
• A soft reset might be needed. If available, look for a small recessed button on the back or side that can be pressed with a paperclip. Otherwise, a battery removal/reinsertion by a professional may be required.

Time is inaccurate:

• Re-set the time following the "Setting Time and Date" instructions.
• If inaccuracy persists, the battery may be weak, or the internal module may require service.
