Maintenance
Water Resistance (5 ATM / 50 Meters)
Image: Rear view of the watch displaying water resistance rating.
Your SKMEI Model 2022 watch is water resistant up to 5 ATM (50 meters). This means it is suitable for daily use, showering, bathing, and swimming in shallow water. Do not press any buttons while the watch is submerged in water, as this can compromise the water seal. Avoid exposure to hot water or steam, as this can also affect the water resistance.
Cleaning Your Watch
To clean your watch, wipe it gently with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water and drying thoroughly. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, which can damage the watch's finish or components.
Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by a Japanese original battery with an approximate life of 2 years. When the display becomes dim or the watch stops functioning, the battery may need replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure the water resistance seal is properly maintained.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Display is blank or dim. | Low or dead battery. | Replace the battery. |
| Time is incorrect. | Time not set correctly or accidental button press. | Refer to the "Setting Time and Date" section to reset the time. |
| Alarm does not sound. | Alarm is turned off or set incorrectly. | Ensure the alarm is activated and set to the correct time in Alarm Mode. |
| Water inside the watch. | Buttons pressed underwater or seal compromised. | Immediately take the watch to a professional for inspection and repair to prevent further damage. Avoid pressing buttons underwater. |
