3.5 Water Resistance

4. Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning Your Watch
To clean your watch, wipe it gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the resin case and strap. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water and thorough drying.
4.2 Battery Replacement
The watch uses one CR2 battery. When the display dims or functions become erratic, it may be time to replace the battery. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure the water resistance seal is properly maintained. Improper battery replacement can void the warranty and compromise water resistance.
4.3 Strap Care
The resin strap is durable but can be affected by prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, or harsh chemicals. Clean the strap regularly to prevent buildup of dirt and oils. If the strap becomes damaged, replacement straps may be available through authorized Timex service centers.
