5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning

Regularly wipe your watch with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. For the silicone band, a damp cloth with mild soap can be used, followed by thorough drying.

5.2 Battery Replacement

When the watch stops running or the second hand begins to jump erratically, it indicates a low battery. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure the watch's water resistance is maintained.

5.3 Water Resistance Guidelines

Your watch is water resistant up to 100 meters (10 ATM). This means it is suitable for recreational swimming, snorkeling, and showering. However, it is important to:

• Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.
• Avoid operating the pushers or crown while the watch is wet or submerged.
• Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to salt water or chlorinated water.
• Avoid exposing the watch to hot water or steam, as this can compromise seals.

6. Troubleshooting

6.1 Watch Not Running

• Check if the crown is fully pushed into position 0.
• If the watch still does not run, the battery may need replacement. Consult a professional watch technician.

6.2 Date Not Changing

• Ensure the time is set correctly, especially the AM/PM cycle, as the date changes around midnight.
• If the issue persists, consult a professional watch technician.
