5. Care and Maintenance
- Water Resistance: The watch is 50M water-resistant, suitable for splashes and rain. Do not press any buttons underwater. Avoid exposure to hot water or steam, as this can damage the waterproof seal.
- Cleaning: Wipe the watch regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt and sweat. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by drying.
- Storage: Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
- Battery: When the display becomes dim or functions are erratic, the battery may need replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a professional watch technician to ensure the water resistance seal is maintained.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Digital display is dim or blank. | Low battery. | Replace the battery. |
| Time is inaccurate. | Incorrect setting or battery issue. | Re-set the time. If problem persists, replace battery. |
| Water inside the watch. | Water resistance compromised (e.g., buttons pressed underwater, exposure to steam). | Immediately take the watch to a professional for inspection and repair to prevent further damage. Avoid further water exposure. |
