Care and Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Michael Kors watch.
Cleaning

Water Resistance
This watch has a specific level of water resistance. Refer to the specifications section for details. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before exposing the watch to water. Avoid operating the crown or pushers when the watch is wet.
Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by a quartz movement requiring a battery. When the watch stops or the second hand begins to jump erratically (indicating low battery), it is time for a battery replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by an authorized service center to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.
