Beyond the basic time display (hour, minute, second), the watch offers world time functions and dual time display. It also includes a countdown timer (up to 99:59:59) and a stopwatch (up to 0~:59:59).

Maintenance
Water Resistance
The watch is 50M waterproof, suitable for swimming. Do not press any buttons while the watch is submerged in water. Avoid wearing the watch during hot water baths or showers, as hot water and steam can compromise the water resistance seals and reduce its lifespan.
Battery Replacement
The watch uses a CR2032 battery. When the battery life reminder indicates low power, replace the battery promptly to ensure continued functionality. It is recommended to have battery replacement performed by a qualified technician to maintain water resistance.
Cleaning and Care
Clean the watch case and band regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Store the watch in a cool, dry place when not in use.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your NORTH EDGE Apache watch, consider the following common solutions:
- Display is blank or dim: The battery may be low or depleted. Replace the CR2032 battery.
- Inaccurate sensor readings (Altimeter, Barometer, Compass, Thermometer): Ensure the watch is properly calibrated according to the operating instructions. For temperature, remove the watch from your wrist for a few minutes to allow it to acclimate to ambient air temperature.
- Buttons are unresponsive: Ensure the watch is not in a locked mode. If submerged, do not press buttons. Allow the watch to dry completely if it has been in water.
- Watch strap issues: The watch comes with an extra silicone band. If the current band is damaged, replace it using the provided spare.
For persistent issues not resolved by these steps, please contact customer support.
