4. Maintenance and Care

4.1 Water Resistance

Your SMAEL 1237 watch is water-resistant up to 50 meters (5 ATM), making it suitable for everyday use, splashes, and short periods of swimming. However, please observe the following precautions:

• Do not press any buttons underwater. This can compromise the water resistance seals.
• Avoid exposing the watch to hot water or steam (e.g., hot showers, saunas), as this can damage the waterproof ring.
• After exposure to saltwater, rinse the watch with fresh water and dry it thoroughly.

4.2 Cleaning

To clean your watch, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid using chemical cleaners or solvents.

4.3 Battery Replacement

When the display becomes dim or the watch stops functioning, the battery may need replacement. Battery replacement should ideally be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.

5. Troubleshooting

5.1 Display is Blank or Dim

• Check if the battery needs replacement.
• Ensure the watch has not been exposed to extreme temperatures.

5.2 Buttons are Unresponsive

• Ensure the watch is not in a locked mode (if applicable).
• Avoid pressing buttons with excessive force.
• If the watch was recently exposed to water, ensure it is completely dry.

5.3 Time is Inaccurate

• Re-set the time and date according to Section 2.2.
• If inaccuracy persists, the battery may be low, or the movement may require servicing.
