Water Resistance

This watch is rated 50M water resistant. This means it is suitable for handwashing, rain, and short swimming sessions. It is not suitable for diving, snorkeling, or hot water activities (e.g., hot showers, saunas) as steam can penetrate the seals.

• Do not operate buttons while the watch is submerged in water.
• Ensure the crown (if present) is pushed in completely before exposure to water.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning

Wipe the watch case and strap regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For silicone straps, a damp cloth with mild soap can be used, followed by thorough drying.

2. Battery Replacement

The watch uses a C battery (included). 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.
