Maintenance

1. Cleaning

Wipe the watch case and strap regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, which can damage the finish.

2. Water Resistance

The watch is 5ATM (50 meters / 164 feet) water resistant. This means it is suitable for daily use, such as hand washing, rain, and splashes. Important: Do not press any buttons while the watch is submerged in water. Prolonged exposure to hot water (e.g., in showers or saunas) can compromise the water resistance seals.

3. Battery Replacement

The watch uses an internal battery. When the display dims or functions become erratic, it may be time for a battery replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.
