Water Resistance Guidelines
Your COSSINIGE CG-8901 watch is water-resistant up to 5 ATM (50 meters / 164 feet). This means it is suitable for daily use, showering, and swimming in shallow water. However, it is important to observe the following precautions:
- Do not press any buttons underwater. Pressing buttons underwater can compromise the watch's water seal.
- Avoid exposing the watch to hot water or steam, such as in saunas or hot showers. Extreme temperature changes can affect the watch's seals.
- After exposure to saltwater, rinse the watch with fresh water and dry it thoroughly.

Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: Wipe the watch case and strap regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For the silicone strap, a mild soap solution and water can be used, followed by thorough drying.
- Storage: Store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
- Battery: The watch uses a standard watch battery. When the display becomes dim or functions are erratic, it may be time for a battery replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a professional to ensure the water resistance seal is maintained.
- Avoid Chemicals: Do not expose the watch to solvents, detergents, perfumes, or cosmetic sprays, as these can damage the case, strap, or internal components.
