Care and Maintenance
Cleaning
Regularly clean your watch with a soft, damp cloth. For metal parts, a soft brush can be used to remove dirt from crevices. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the watch's finish or seals.
Strap Care
The watch features a durable strap. To maintain its condition, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and harsh chemicals. If the strap becomes wet, allow it to air dry completely before wearing.
