Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the watch regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. For the leather strap, avoid excessive moisture and harsh chemicals.
- Water Resistance: The watch is 50M water-resistant. This means it can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water (e.g., swimming). Do not press any buttons while the watch is submerged in water. Avoid hot water, steam, and prolonged exposure to water to prevent damage to seals.
- Battery Replacement: The watch uses one CR2032 battery. When the digital display dims or functions become erratic, it's time to replace the battery. It is recommended to have battery replacement performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure water resistance is maintained.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
