Maintenance
Cleaning Your Watch
To maintain the appearance and functionality of your Timex watch:
- Wipe the watch case and strap with a soft, damp cloth.
- For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, but ensure to rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry immediately.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the watch's finish or seals.
Water Resistance
Your watch is water resistant to 100 meters (330 feet). This means it is suitable for recreational swimming and showering. However, it is not suitable for scuba diving. Do not press any buttons while the watch is submerged in water, as this can compromise the water resistance.
Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by one CR2025 battery. When the display dims or functions become erratic, it may be time to replace the battery. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.
