Maintenance

Cleaning Your Watch

The watch case and silicone strap can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly with clean water. Ensure the watch is completely dry before wearing it again. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Water Resistance

This watch is rated for 5 ATM (50 meters) daily life water resistance. This means it is suitable for everyday use and can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water. It is not suitable for swimming, diving, or showering with hot water, as steam and temperature changes can compromise the seals.

Battery Replacement

The watch is powered by a quartz battery. When the display becomes dim or functions become erratic, it may be time to replace the battery. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure the water resistance seal is maintained. Attempting to replace the battery yourself may void the warranty and damage the watch.
