Maintenance
Cleaning Your Watch
To keep your watch in good condition, wipe it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For more thorough cleaning, a slightly damp cloth can be used. Ensure the watch is completely dry before storing or wearing. Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the watch's finish and seals.
Water Resistance Care
The watch is rated for 50m water resistance. This means it can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water, such as during hand washing or shallow swimming. However, it is not designed for diving or prolonged underwater activities. To maintain water resistance:
- Do not press any buttons while the watch is submerged in water.
- Avoid exposing the watch to hot water, steam, or extreme temperature changes (e.g., hot showers, saunas), as this can compromise the water-resistant seals.
- If the watch is exposed to saltwater, rinse it with fresh water and dry it thoroughly.
- Have the water resistance seals checked periodically by a professional, especially after battery replacement.
