Operating Instructions
Using the Chronograph Function
The chronograph allows you to measure elapsed time with precision.

Water Resistance
Your LIGE watch is rated for 3ATM/30M water resistance. This means it is suitable for daily use, such as hand washing and light rain. It is not suitable for showering, bathing, swimming, diving, or any activities involving prolonged immersion in water.
Important: Do not press any buttons or pull out the crown while the watch is in contact with water, as this can compromise the water resistance and lead to internal damage.

Maintenance
Cleaning Your Watch
- Wipe the watch case and band regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt.
- For the stainless steel mesh band, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure the watch is completely dry afterwards.
- Avoid using chemical cleaners, solvents, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the watch's finish.
Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by a quartz movement and requires one LR44 battery (included). When the watch stops or the time becomes inaccurate, it may be time to replace the battery. It is recommended to have battery replacement performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.
General Care
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures (hot or cold) or sudden temperature changes.
- Keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields, as these can affect the accuracy of the quartz movement.
- Protect the watch from strong impacts or shocks.
- If the watch is not worn for an extended period, store it in a dry, cool place, preferably in its original box.
Troubleshooting
