4.1 Water Resistance

This watch is water resistant to 50 meters (165 feet). This rating means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming. It is not suitable for diving or snorkeling. Avoid pressing buttons underwater to prevent water ingress.

4.2 Cleaning Your Watch

To clean your watch, wipe it gently with a soft, damp cloth. For the resin strap, mild soap and water can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the watch case or strap.

4.3 Battery Replacement

The watch uses one Lithium Metal battery. When the display becomes dim or the watch stops functioning, the battery may need replacement. Battery replacement should ideally be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance. Attempting to replace the battery yourself may void the warranty or compromise the watch's water resistance.
