Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the watch regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt and smudges. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by drying. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Water Resistance (WR5ATM): Your watch is water resistant to 50 meters (5 ATM). This means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming. Do not operate buttons while the watch is submerged in water. Avoid exposure to hot water, steam, or sudden temperature changes, as this can compromise the water seals.
- Battery Replacement: When the display becomes dim or functions irregularly, the battery may need replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
