Maintenance
Water Resistance
The SKMEI Model 2098 is rated for 50M (5 ATM) water resistance. This means it is suitable for showering, swimming in shallow water, and general water exposure. It is not suitable for diving, snorkeling, or high-pressure water activities. Do not operate buttons while the watch is submerged in water.

Cleaning Your Watch
To clean your watch, wipe it with a soft, damp cloth. For the silica gel band, mild soap and water can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the watch case or crystal.
Battery Replacement
The watch uses a standard watch battery. When the display dims or functions become erratic, it may be time for a battery replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.
