4. Maintenance
4.1 Battery Life
The watch is powered by a CR123A battery with an approximate lifespan of 5 years. When the display becomes dim or functions become erratic, it may indicate a low battery. Battery replacement should ideally be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure water resistance is maintained.
4.2 Water Resistance
The Casio DBC-611-1VT is water-resistant, offering protection against minor splashes and moisture exposure. It is not intended for swimming, diving, or prolonged water immersion. Avoid operating buttons while the watch is wet to prevent water ingress.
4.3 Cleaning
To clean the watch, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid using chemical cleaners, solvents, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the watch's finish or components.
