Maintenance and Care

Water Resistance (5 ATM)

Your PINDOWS watch is rated for 5 ATM (50 meters) water resistance. This means it is suitable for daily use, including hand washing, light rain, and showering. It is not recommended for swimming, diving, or prolonged submersion in water, especially hot water, as steam can penetrate the seals.

• Do not operate buttons while the watch is submerged in water.
• Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature changes.
• After exposure to saltwater, rinse the watch with fresh water and wipe it dry.

Cleaning

Wipe the watch case and band with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and mild soap, then wipe dry immediately.

Battery Replacement

When the display becomes dim or functions become erratic, it may be time to replace the battery. Battery replacement should ideally be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.

Troubleshooting

• Watch display is blank or dim:

  This usually indicates a low battery. Replace the battery as described in the Maintenance section.

• Time is incorrect:

  Re-set the time and date following the instructions in the Setup section. Ensure the 12/24-hour format is correctly selected.

• Buttons are unresponsive:

  Ensure the watch is not in a locked mode (if applicable, though not specified for this model). If the issue persists, a low battery might be the cause, or there could be an internal malfunction. Consult a technician.

• Water appears inside the watch:

  Immediately stop using the watch and seek professional service. This indicates a breach in the water resistance seals, which can lead to permanent damage.
