Maintenance
Water Resistance:
This watch is rated 50M water resistant, suitable for swimming, handwashing, and light rain. It is not suitable for diving, snorkeling, or hot water activities (e.g., hot showers, saunas) as steam can penetrate the seals. Do not press any buttons while the watch is submerged in water.

Cleaning:
Wipe the watch regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, then wipe dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Battery Replacement:
When the display dims or functions become erratic, the battery may need replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.
