Maintenance and Care

Water Resistance

This watch is rated for 5 ATM (50 meters) water resistance. This means it is suitable for swimming, showering, and hand washing. However, to prevent water ingress:

  • DO NOT press any buttons while the watch is submerged in water.
  • AVOID using the watch in extremely hot water, such as hot springs or saunas, as this can damage the seals.

Battery Replacement

The watch uses 1 CR2 battery (included). The battery life is approximately 18-24 months. When the display dims or functions become erratic, it's time to replace the battery. We recommend having the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure water resistance is maintained.

Cleaning

Wipe the watch case and strap with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water and drying thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
