Maintenance and Care

Water Resistance

Your Armitron Sport watch is water resistant to 100 feet (30 meters). This means it is suitable for everyday use and can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water. It is not suitable for swimming, diving, or prolonged water activities. Do not operate buttons while the watch is wet or submerged.

Cleaning

To clean your watch, wipe it gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the resin case and strap. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water and drying thoroughly.

Battery Replacement

The watch uses a product-specific battery (included). When the display becomes dim 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.
