Maintenance

Cleaning

• Wipe the watch case and strap with a soft, damp cloth.
• For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly with clean water.
• Ensure the watch is completely dry before wearing or storing.
• Avoid using chemical cleaners, solvents, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the watch's finish or seals.

Water Resistance

The NORTH EDGE APACHE watch is water-resistant to 50 meters (164 feet). This rating means it is suitable for:

• Daily use and splashes.
• Swimming in shallow water.
• Cold showers.

Important Precautions:

• Do not press any buttons underwater.
• Avoid exposure to hot water, steam, or saunas, as this can compromise the watch's seals.
• Not suitable for prolonged underwater activities such as diving or snorkeling.

Battery Replacement

The watch uses a 1 C battery (CR2032, as seen on the watch back image). When the low power indicator appears, it is recommended to replace the battery promptly.

• Battery replacement should ideally be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure the water resistance seal is properly maintained.
• If replacing yourself, carefully open the back case, replace the CR2032 battery, and ensure the gasket is correctly seated before securely closing the case.
