5. Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning Your Watch
To keep your watch in good condition:
- Wipe the watch case and strap regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the plastic and rubber materials.
- For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water and drying thoroughly.
5.2 Water Resistance
The Alfajr Sport Watch WY-16 is water resistant. This means it can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water (e.g., washing hands). However, it is not suitable for swimming, diving, or prolonged exposure to water under pressure. Do not operate buttons while the watch is wet.
5.3 Battery Replacement
The watch features a battery level indicator. When the battery is low, it is recommended to have it replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and water resistance. Attempting to replace the battery yourself may void the warranty or compromise the watch's integrity.
