4. Maintenance
Proper care will ensure the longevity and performance of your SKMEI 1796 watch.
4.1 Water Resistance (30M)
Your watch is water resistant up to 30 meters (3 ATM). This means it is suitable for daily use, splashes, and brief immersion in water. It is not recommended for swimming, diving, or prolonged water activities. Do not operate buttons while the watch is wet or submerged.
4.2 Cleaning
Wipe the watch case and strap regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by drying. Avoid using chemical cleaners, which can damage the watch's finish or strap material.
4.3 Battery Replacement
The watch uses 1 CR123A battery. When the display becomes dim or functions become erratic, it may be time to replace the battery. It is recommended to have battery replacement performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure water resistance is maintained.
