4.3 Water Resistance Care
- Avoid operating the crown while the watch is wet or submerged.

5. Troubleshooting
5.1 Watch Not Keeping Accurate Time
- Check the crown: Ensure the crown is fully pushed in. If it is pulled out, the watch will not operate.
- Battery: Although designed for 10 years, extreme temperatures or prolonged use of certain functions can affect battery life. If the watch stops, the battery may need replacement.
- Impact: A severe impact may affect the internal mechanism. If issues persist, consult a watch repair specialist.
5.2 Date Not Changing Correctly
- Time setting: Ensure the time is set correctly for AM/PM. The date changes once every 24 hours.
- Manual adjustment: If the date is incorrect, manually adjust it as described in Section 2.2.
5.3 Condensation Inside the Watch
- Small amounts of condensation may appear temporarily when the watch is exposed to sudden temperature changes (e.g., moving from a cold to a warm environment). This is usually not an indication of a problem and should clear up within a short time.
- If condensation is heavy or persists, it may indicate a compromised water resistance seal. Seek professional inspection immediately to prevent damage.
