- Slide the clasp along the mesh strap to your desired length.
- Press the locking plate back down firmly until it clicks into place, securing the clasp.

Maintenance
1. Cleaning Your Watch
To maintain the appearance of your watch, wipe the case and strap regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
2. Water Resistance
Your GUESS watch is water resistant to 50 meters (165 feet). This means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming. However, it is not suitable for diving, snorkeling, or prolonged water activities. Avoid pressing buttons while the watch is wet or submerged to prevent water intrusion.
3. Battery Replacement
The watch uses one Lithium Metal battery. When the display becomes dim or stops functioning, it is time to replace the battery. Battery replacement should ideally be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Display is blank or dim. | Low or depleted battery. | Replace the battery. |
| Time is incorrect. | Time was not set correctly or was reset. | Refer to the 'Setting Time and Date' section to reset the time. |
