4. Care and Maintenance

4.1 Water Resistance

This watch is rated for 30 meters (3 ATM) of water resistance. This means it is suitable for everyday use and can withstand splashes, rain, or brief immersion in water. It is not suitable for swimming, showering, or diving. Avoid pressing buttons while the watch is wet or submerged.

4.2 Cleaning

To clean your watch, wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by drying. Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the watch's finish or internal components.

4.3 Battery Replacement

When the display becomes dim or functions become erratic, it may be time to replace the battery. Battery replacement should ideally be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and water resistance integrity.

5. Troubleshooting

  • Display is blank or dim: The battery may be low or depleted. Consider professional battery replacement.
  • Buttons are not responding: Ensure the watch is not in a locked mode (if applicable). If wet, dry the watch thoroughly. If the issue persists, the internal mechanism may require inspection.
  • Time is incorrect: Re-set the time following the instructions in Section 2.1. If the time consistently loses or gains, the battery may be weak or the internal module may need service.
  • Water inside the watch: Immediately stop using the watch and seek professional service. Do not attempt to dry it yourself, as this can cause further damage.
