Water Resistance:

Maintenance
Cleaning Your Watch:
To clean your watch, wipe it with a soft, damp cloth. For resin straps, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water and drying thoroughly. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the watch case or strap.
Battery Replacement:
As mentioned, the watch uses one CR2 battery. When the battery needs replacement, it is strongly recommended to take your watch to an authorized Timex service center or a reputable watch repair shop. This ensures that the watch is opened and sealed correctly, preserving its water resistance and preventing damage to internal components.
Storage:
When not in use for extended periods, store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid storing it near strong magnetic fields, which can affect the watch's accuracy.
