6. Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning Your Watch

  • Wipe the watch case and strap with a soft, damp cloth.
  • For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly with a damp cloth. Ensure no water enters the watch.
  • Dry the watch completely with a soft, dry cloth.
  • Important: Do not use chemical cleaners, solvents, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the watch's finish and seals. Do not wash the watch under running water or submerge it for cleaning.

6.2 Battery Replacement

The watch is powered by a battery. 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 the water resistance seal is properly maintained. Attempting to replace the battery yourself may void the warranty and compromise water resistance.

6.3 Water Resistance Care

  • Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.
  • Do not operate buttons while the watch is wet or submerged.
  • After exposure to saltwater, rinse the watch with fresh water and dry it thoroughly.
  • Water resistance is not a permanent condition and may decrease over time due to wear and tear or impact. It is recommended to have the water resistance checked periodically by a professional, especially after battery replacement.

7. Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Cause Solution
Digital display is dim or blank. Low battery. Replace the battery (recommended by a professional).
Analog hands are not moving. Crown is pulled out; low battery. Push the crown back in. If still not moving, replace the battery.
Time is incorrect. Time not set correctly; impact. Re-set the analog and digital time as per Section 4. If problem persists after impact, seek professional service.
Water inside the watch. Crown not fully pushed in; buttons operated underwater; damaged seal. Immediately take the watch to a professional for inspection and repair to prevent further damage.
