5. Maintenance

5.1 Water Resistance

Your NAVIFORCE watch has a water resistance rating of 5ATM (50 meters). This means it is suitable for:

  • Daily use
  • Splashes
  • Rain
  • Washing hands

It is not recommended for swimming, diving, or hot water bathing, as steam and temperature changes can compromise the seals. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.

5.2 Cleaning

To maintain the appearance of your watch:

  • Wipe the case and crystal with a soft, dry cloth.
  • For the leather strap, avoid prolonged exposure to water, direct sunlight, and harsh chemicals. Clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.

5.3 Battery Life

The solar-powered battery is designed for long-term use, with an approximate life of 10-15 years, provided it receives adequate light exposure.

6. Troubleshooting

  • Watch Not Running: Ensure the watch has been sufficiently charged by exposing it to light. If it still does not run, the battery may need professional inspection.
  • Incorrect Time/Date: Refer to Section 3.2 for instructions on how to correctly set the time and date.
  • Chronograph Hands Not Resetting to Zero: If the chronograph hands do not return to the 12 o'clock position after resetting, consult a professional watch repair service.
