Water Resistance
Your watch is water resistant to 100 meters (330 feet). This means it is suitable for showering, swimming, and snorkeling. It is not suitable for scuba diving. Do not operate buttons while the watch is submerged in water, as this can compromise the water resistance seal.
Maintenance
Cleaning Your Watch
To clean your watch, wipe it with a soft, damp cloth. For the resin strap, mild soap and water can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, which can damage the watch's finish or strap.
Battery Replacement
The watch uses one product-specific battery. When the display dims or functions become erratic, it may be time for a battery replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure the water resistance seal is properly maintained.
Strap Care
The resin strap is durable but can be affected by prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, or certain chemicals. Clean regularly and avoid unnecessary exposure to harsh conditions to maintain its appearance and integrity.
