The watch tracks steps, distance, and calories burned. These metrics are displayed on the watch face or accessible through specific modes. Ensure the watch is worn consistently for accurate data collection.

5. Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning Your Watch
Regularly clean your watch with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, which can damage the case or strap. For the heart rate sensor, gently wipe it with a clean, dry cloth.
5.2 Battery Replacement
The watch uses a CR2032 Lithium Metal battery. When the battery is low, the display may dim or functions may become erratic. Battery replacement should ideally be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure water resistance is maintained. If replacing yourself, carefully follow the instructions on the watch back for opening and closing the battery compartment.

5.3 Water Resistance
Your watch is water resistant to 50 meters. This means it is suitable for recreational swimming in shallow water. It is not suitable for diving or snorkeling. Do not press any buttons while the watch is submerged, as this can compromise the water seal.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Watch display is blank or dim. | Low battery. | Replace the battery (CR2032). |
| Heart rate readings are inaccurate. | Watch not snug, sensor dirty, or dry skin. | Ensure watch is snug. Clean sensor. Moisten skin under sensor. |
| Buttons are unresponsive. | Watch may be in a locked mode or require a reset. | Refer to the operating section for button functions. If unresponsive, a soft reset (if available) or battery removal/reinsertion may be needed. |
