4.5 Water Resistance (5 ATM / 50 m)

Your Fastrack watch is water resistant to 5 ATM or 50 meters. 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 pressure changes can compromise the seals. Do not operate buttons or the crown when the watch is wet or submerged.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning Your Watch

Wipe the watch case and strap regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt and perspiration. For the metal strap, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid using chemical cleaners, solvents, or abrasive materials.

5.2 Battery Replacement

When the watch stops or the digital display fades, the battery may need replacement. It is highly recommended to have the battery replaced by an authorized service center or a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.

5.3 Water Resistance Care

To maintain the water resistance of your watch:

• Ensure the crown is always pushed in completely.
• Do not operate buttons or the crown when the watch is wet or submerged.
• Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature changes (e.g., hot showers, saunas).
• Have the water resistance seals checked periodically (e.g., every 2-3 years) by a professional, especially after battery replacement.

6. Troubleshooting

6.1 Analog Hands Not Moving

• Check if the crown is fully pushed in.
• The battery may be depleted. Refer to Section 5.2 for battery replacement.
