5. Maintenance
Cleaning:
- Wipe the watch case and strap regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt.
- For silicone straps, a mild soap solution and water can be used, followed by thorough rinsing and drying.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the watch's finish.
Water Resistance:
This watch is water resistant up to 100 meters (10 ATM). This means it is suitable for:
- Everyday use and showering.
- Swimming in pools and shallow snorkeling.
Important Considerations:
- Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged.
- Avoid exposing the watch to hot water, steam, or sudden temperature changes, as this can compromise the water seals.
- 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 qualified watch technician.
Battery Replacement:
When the watch stops or the second hand moves erratically (e.g., skipping seconds), it indicates a low battery. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and function.
