Maintenance
1. Cleaning Your Apple Watch
Regular cleaning helps maintain your watch's appearance and functionality.
- Wipe the watch and bands with a non-abrasive, lint-free cloth.

- Do not use soaps, cleaning products, abrasive materials, or compressed air.
2. Water Resistance
The Apple Watch Series 6 has a water resistance rating of 50 meters under ISO standard 22810:2010. This means it may be used for shallow-water activities like swimming in a pool or ocean. However, it should not be used for scuba diving, waterskiing, or other activities involving high-velocity water or submersion below shallow depth.

- Watch Not Responding: Force restart by holding both the Digital Crown and the Side Button for at least 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
- Pairing Issues: Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your iPhone and both devices are charged. Try unpairing and re-pairing the watch.
- Battery Drain: Review app usage, disable unnecessary notifications, and adjust display brightness.
