The primary timekeeping is handled by the digital display.
6. Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning Your Watch
To maintain the appearance of your watch, wipe it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry cloth. Avoid using chemical cleaners, as they may damage the watch's finish or strap material.
6.2 Water Resistance
Your SKMEI Model 1868 watch is rated for 50 meters (5 ATM) water resistance. This means it is suitable for swimming, showering, and general water exposure. However, it is not suitable for diving or high-pressure water activities. Do not operate buttons while the watch is submerged in water, as this can compromise the water seal.
6.3 Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by a CR2032 battery. When the display becomes dim or functions become erratic, it may be time to replace the battery. Battery replacement should ideally be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure the water resistance seal is properly maintained. The battery compartment is located on the back of the watch.
