4. Maintenance

4.1 Water Resistance

Your Armitron Sport watch is water resistant up to 100 meters (330 feet). This means it is suitable for showering, swimming, and snorkeling. However, it is NOT suitable for diving. Do not operate any buttons while the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise the water resistance seal.

Important: Water resistance is not a permanent condition. Gaskets and seals can wear out over time, reducing the watch's water resistance. It is recommended to have the water resistance checked periodically by a qualified watch technician, especially after battery replacement.

4.2 Cleaning Your Watch

To clean your watch, wipe it with a soft, damp cloth. For the resin strap, a mild soap solution can be used, but ensure to rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry completely. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the watch's finish or strap material.

4.3 Battery Replacement

The watch uses a product-specific battery. When the display becomes dim or functions become erratic, it is likely time to replace the battery. Battery replacement should ideally be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance. Attempting to replace the battery yourself may void the warranty and compromise the watch's integrity.

5. Troubleshooting

• Display is blank or dim: The battery may be low or depleted. Refer to the "Battery Replacement" section.
• Buttons are unresponsive: Ensure the watch is not wet. If it is dry and still unresponsive, try resetting the watch (if a reset button is available, usually a small recessed button requiring a pointed object). If issues persist, the internal mechanism may require professional inspection.
• Time is incorrect: Re-set the time and date following the instructions in "Setting Time and Date". Ensure you have selected the correct 12/24-hour format.
• Water inside the watch: Immediately stop using the watch and take it to a qualified watch technician. Do not attempt to dry it yourself, as this can cause further damage.
