- Cleaning: Wipe the watch case and strap with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by drying.
- Battery: The watch is powered by a battery. When the display dims or functions become erratic, it may be time for a battery replacement. This should be done by a qualified watch technician to maintain water resistance.
- Storage: Store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Avoid Chemicals: Do not expose the watch to solvents, detergents, perfumes, or other chemical sprays, as they can damage the case, strap, or seals.
