Maintenance

Water Resistance:

Your Armitron Sport watch is water resistant to 100 meters (330 feet). This means it is suitable for showering, swimming, and snorkeling. Important: Do not press any buttons while the watch is submerged in water, as this can compromise the water resistance and cause damage.

Battery Replacement:

The watch uses one product-specific battery (included). 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 proper sealing and maintain water resistance.

Cleaning and Care:

To clean your watch, wipe it with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, which can damage the resin strap or watch case. Store your watch in a cool, dry place when not in use.
