Maintenance and Care
Water Resistance
The Sportech SP147 watch is rated for 50 meters (5 ATM) water resistance. This means it is suitable for showering, rain, and swimming. It is not suitable for diving or prolonged submersion in hot water. Avoid pressing any buttons while the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise the water seal.

Cleaning
To clean your watch, wipe it with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents, as these can damage the watch case or strap.
Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by a standard watch battery. When the display becomes dim or the watch stops functioning, the battery may need replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure the water resistance seal is properly maintained.
Troubleshooting
