3.2 Water Resistance

This watch is water-resistant up to 100 feet (3 ATM). This means it is suitable for splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water, such as showering or swimming in shallow water. It is not suitable for diving, snorkeling, or high-impact water sports. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before exposing the watch to water.

4. Maintenance

4.1 Cleaning

To maintain the appearance of your Swatch watch, clean it regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For the silicone strap, mild soap and water can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the case or strap.

4.2 Battery Replacement

The watch is powered by one CR2 battery (included). When the watch stops running, the battery may need replacement. Swatch offers free battery exchange at authorized Swatch retail locations. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a professional to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.

5. Troubleshooting

• Watch Not Running: Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If it is, the battery may need replacement. Refer to Section 4.2 for battery information.
• Time Inaccuracy: If the watch is consistently fast or slow, the battery may be low, or the movement may require servicing.
• Date (Outfit Color) Not Changing: The automatic color change occurs over 3-4 days. If no change is observed after this period, or if you wish to change it manually, refer to Section 2.3.
• Condensation Under Crystal: If condensation appears under the watch crystal, it may indicate a breach in water resistance. Avoid further exposure to water and seek professional inspection immediately.
