3. Maintenance

3.2 Cleaning
Clean the watch case and strap with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, which can damage the finish. For the rubber strap, mild soap and water can be used.
3.3 Battery Replacement
When the display becomes dim or stops functioning, the battery may need replacement. This watch uses one nonstandard battery. Battery replacement should ideally be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance. Opening the watch yourself may void the warranty and compromise its water resistance.
