Water Resistance
This watch is water resistant to 50 meters (5 ATM). This means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, but not for diving or snorkeling. Avoid operating the crown while the watch is wet or submerged to prevent water ingress.
- 50 Meters (5 ATM): Suitable for showering, bathing, and shallow swimming.
- Avoid: Hot water, steam, high-pressure water jets, diving, or prolonged submersion.
Maintenance and Care
Cleaning Your Watch
To maintain the appearance of your watch:
- Wipe the case and silicone strap with a soft, damp cloth.
- For stubborn dirt on the silicone strap, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water and thorough drying.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the watch's finish and strap material.
Storage
When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and strong magnetic fields. The original watch box is ideal for storage.
Battery Replacement
Your watch is powered by a quartz movement and requires a product-specific battery. When the battery needs replacement, it is highly recommended to take your watch to an authorized GUESS service center or a reputable watchmaker. Attempting to replace the battery yourself may void the warranty and compromise the watch's water resistance.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Watch not running | Battery depleted or crown not pushed in. | Ensure crown is fully pushed in. If not, battery may need replacement by a professional. |
| Time is inaccurate | Watch exposed to strong magnetic fields or low battery. | Keep watch away from magnets. If problem persists, battery may be low or watch requires servicing. |
| Condensation under crystal | Temperature change or water ingress. | If condensation persists, water resistance may be compromised. Seek professional inspection immediately. |
