Maintenance
Cleaning Your Watch
Wipe the watch case and strap with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water and drying thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Water Resistance (30 Meters / 10 ATM)
Your ICE Digit Retro watch is water resistant up to 30 meters (10 ATM). This means it is suitable for everyday use, splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water, such as swimming or water sports. It is not suitable for diving or high-pressure water activities. Do not operate buttons while the watch is wet or submerged to prevent water ingress.

Battery Replacement
The watch uses one Lithium metal battery. When the display dims or functions become erratic, it may be time for a battery replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.
Strap Care
The plastic strap is durable but can be affected by prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, or harsh chemicals. Clean it regularly and avoid bending it excessively to prolong its lifespan.
