6. Water Resistance Guidelines
Your SKMEI 2225 watch is rated for 50 meters (5 ATM) water resistance. This means it is suitable for:
- Daily use, such as handwashing and splashes.
- Showering (cold water only).
- Swimming in shallow water.
It is not suitable for:
- Hot water activities (e.g., hot showers, saunas, hot tubs), as steam can penetrate seals.
- Diving or snorkeling.
- Operating buttons underwater, as this can compromise the water seal.
Always ensure the crown (if present) is pushed in completely after setting the time to maintain water resistance.
