6. Water Resistance Guidelines

Your Timex Ironman Classic 30 Oversized watch is water-resistant to 100 meters (328 feet). This makes it suitable for showering, swimming, and snorkeling. However, it is crucial to follow these guidelines:

• Do not press any buttons underwater. Pressing buttons underwater can compromise the watch's water resistance.
• Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature changes (e.g., hot showers followed by cold water).
• After exposure to saltwater, rinse the watch with fresh water and dry it thoroughly.
