Water Resistance
The Sportech Digital Watch SP147 is rated for 50 meters (5 ATM) water resistance. This means it is suitable for:
- Daily splashes
- Rain
- Showering (brief exposure)
- Swimming (surface swimming)
Important Note:
- DO NOT press any buttons while the watch is wet or submerged. This can compromise the water seals.
- The watch is NOT suitable for diving, snorkeling, or high-pressure water activities (e.g., hot tubs, saunas, high-pressure washing).
- Exposure to hot water or steam can damage the seals and lead to water ingress.
- If condensation appears inside the watch, have it checked by a professional immediately.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the watch regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Battery Replacement: The watch uses 1 product-specific 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.
- Storage: Store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
- Avoid Impacts: While the watch is shock-resistant, excessive impacts can still cause damage. Handle with care.
