4. Maintenance

4.1. Battery Replacement

The watch is powered by one alkaline button battery. When the display becomes dim or functions become erratic, it is time to replace the battery. It is recommended to have battery replacement performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.

4.2. Water Resistance

This watch has a water resistance rating of 30 meters (3 ATM). This means it is suitable for daily use and can withstand splashes or brief immersion in water. It is not suitable for swimming, diving, or showering with hot water, as steam and pressure changes can compromise the seals.

4.3. Cleaning

Clean the watch case and bracelet regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid using chemical cleaners or abrasive materials.

5. Troubleshooting

  • Display is blank or dim: The battery may be low or depleted. Replace the battery.
  • Buttons are unresponsive: Ensure the watch is not in a locked mode (if applicable). If the issue persists, a battery replacement might be needed, or the watch may require servicing.
  • Time is inaccurate: Re-set the time according to Section 2.2. If the inaccuracy continues, the battery may be low, or the quartz movement may require inspection.
  • Water condensation inside the crystal: This indicates a breach in the water resistance. Avoid further contact with water and seek professional service immediately.
