Solar Power Functionality

This SKMEI watch is equipped with a solar panel that converts light energy into electricity to power the watch and charge its internal battery. This feature extends battery life and reduces the need for frequent battery replacements.

• Charging: Expose the watch face to direct sunlight or strong artificial light for optimal charging.
• Storage: When not in use, store the watch in a well-lit area to maintain its charge. Avoid prolonged storage in dark places, which may deplete the battery.

Care and Maintenance

Water Resistance (5 ATM / 50 Meters)

Your SKMEI watch is water-resistant to 5 ATM (50 meters), meaning it can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water, such as during hand washing or showering. It is suitable for swimming in shallow water.

Important Warning:

• DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS UNDERWATER. Pressing buttons underwater can compromise the watch's water resistance and lead to water ingress.
• Not suitable for diving, snorkeling, or high-pressure water activities.
• Avoid exposing the watch to hot water or steam, as this can damage the seals.

Cleaning

Wipe the watch case and strap regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by drying. Avoid using chemical cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the watch materials.

Battery

The watch uses 1 Lithium Ion battery (included). While the solar power feature significantly extends battery life, eventual replacement may be necessary. Battery replacement should ideally be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.

Troubleshooting

• Digital Display is Dim or Blank:

  Ensure the watch is adequately charged by exposing it to bright light for several hours. If the issue persists, the battery may need replacement.

• Buttons are Unresponsive:

  Check if the watch is in a specific mode that restricts button functionality. If the watch was recently exposed to water, ensure it is completely dry. If unresponsive after drying, there might be an internal issue.
• Time is Inaccurate:

  Re-set the time and date following the instructions in the "Setting Time and Date" section. Ensure the watch is not exposed to strong magnetic fields, which can affect accuracy.

• Water Inside the Watch:

  If you notice condensation or water inside the watch, stop using it immediately and seek professional repair. Continued use can cause irreversible damage.
