Operating Instructions
Basic Operation
Your Sekonda Minimalist Watch is designed for straightforward timekeeping. Once the time is set, the watch will continuously display the current time. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in to maintain water resistance and accurate timekeeping.
Maintenance
Cleaning
To keep your watch looking its best, wipe the case and strap regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For the leather strap, avoid excessive moisture and harsh chemicals, which can damage the material.
Water Resistance
This watch is water resistant. This means it can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water, such as hand washing. It is not suitable for swimming, diving, or showering, as prolonged exposure to water or high-pressure water jets can compromise its seals. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in to maintain water resistance.
Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by a non-standard battery. When the watch stops running, it indicates that the battery needs replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.
