Safety Information

To ensure the longevity and proper function of your watch, observe the following safety guidelines:

  • Water Resistance: The watch is water resistant up to 50 meters. This makes it suitable for light swimming.
  • Important: Do not press any buttons while the watch is submerged in water. Pressing buttons underwater can compromise the water resistance seal and lead to internal damage.
  • This watch is not suitable for snorkeling, scuba diving, or high-impact water sports.
  • Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures or sudden temperature changes.

Setup and Initial Configuration

1. Setting Time and Date

Your watch may require initial time and date setting. Refer to the buttons on the side of the watch for adjustment. Typically, a "MODE" or "SET" button is used to cycle through settings, and "START/STOP" or "RESET" buttons are used to adjust values.

Maintenance

Cleaning Your Watch

To maintain the appearance of your watch, wipe the case and band regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the finish or acrylic lens.

Water Resistance Care

While your watch is water resistant, it is recommended to rinse it with fresh water after exposure to salt water or chlorinated water to prevent corrosion and maintain the integrity of the seals.

Battery Replacement

When the battery needs replacement, it is recommended to have it done by a qualified watch technician. This ensures the water resistance seal is properly re-installed. The watch uses a CR2025 Lithium Metal battery.
