Maintenance
Water Resistance:
The PINDOWS Digital Sports Watch is water-resistant up to 50 meters (5ATM). This means it is suitable for everyday use, including splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water. However, it is not recommended for diving, snorkeling, or showering, as steam and high-pressure water jets can compromise the seals.

Cleaning and Care:
- Wipe the watch regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and sweat.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, or harsh chemicals.
- Do not press buttons underwater.
Battery Replacement:
The watch uses a Lithium Metal battery with an estimated life of up to 3 years. When the display dims 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.
