5. Water Resistance Guidelines

Important Precautions:
- DO NOT press any buttons while the watch is submerged in water.
- AVOID exposure to hot water, such as hot showers, saunas, or hot tubs, as this can compromise the watch's seals.
- DO NOT use for diving or snorkeling.
- Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.

6. Maintenance
Proper care will ensure the longevity and performance of your Gosasa watch.
- Cleaning: Wipe the watch regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and mild soap, then dry thoroughly.
- Avoid Chemicals: Do not expose the watch to strong chemicals, solvents, or detergents, as these can damage the case, strap, or seals.
- Temperature Extremes: Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures (both hot and cold) for extended periods.
- Shock Resistance: While the watch is shock-resistant, avoid unnecessary impacts or drops.
- Battery: The watch uses a standard watch battery. When the display dims or functions become erratic, it may be time for a battery replacement. It is recommended to have battery replacement performed by a professional watch repair service to ensure water resistance is maintained.
