Maintenance

Cleaning Your Watch

To clean your watch, wipe it with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the watch's finish or seals.

Battery Replacement

When the display dims or the watch stops functioning, the battery may need replacement. Battery replacement should ideally be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure the water resistance seal is properly maintained.

Water Resistance Guidelines

Your SMAEL Model 8038 watch is rated for 50 meters (5 ATM) water resistance. This means it is suitable for everyday use, such as splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water. However, to maintain the integrity of the water resistance:

  • Do not press any buttons underwater. Pressing buttons underwater can compromise the watch's seals and allow water to enter.
  • Avoid exposure to hot water or steam. Hot water, saunas, and hot tubs can cause the watch's seals to expand and contract, leading to water leakage.
  • While rated for 50M, it is recommended to avoid prolonged swimming or diving to prevent potential issues.

Troubleshooting

  • Digital Display is Dim or Blank: This usually indicates a low battery. Replace the battery as soon as possible.
  • Analog Hands Not Moving: Check if the crown is pushed in completely. If it is, the battery for the analog movement might be depleted.
  • Time is Inaccurate: Re-set the time following the instructions in the Setup section. If inaccuracy persists, the battery may be weak or the movement may require servicing.
  • Buttons Unresponsive: Ensure the watch is not in a locked mode (if applicable, though not a common feature for this model). If unresponsive, a battery issue or internal malfunction may be present.
  • Moisture Inside the Watch: If you observe condensation or moisture under the glass, this indicates a compromised water resistance seal. Stop using the watch immediately and seek professional repair to prevent further damage.
