To clean your watch, wipe it with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the watch's finish or seals. For resin straps, mild soap and water can be used, then rinse thoroughly and dry.

The watch uses a CR2025 cell battery. Battery life varies depending on usage. 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 water resistance.
