4. Maintenance and Care
4.1 Water Resistance
This watch is water resistant to 50 meters (165 feet). This rating means the watch is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, but not for diving or snorkeling. Avoid operating the crown or pushers when the watch is wet or submerged.

4.2 Cleaning
To maintain the appearance of your watch, wipe the case and band with a soft, dry cloth regularly. For silicone bands, a mild soap and water solution can be used, followed by thorough rinsing and drying. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
4.3 Battery Replacement
The VD53 quartz movement is powered by 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 this service performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.

5. Troubleshooting
- Watch not running: Check if the crown is fully pushed in to position 1. If the watch still does not run, the battery may need replacement.
- Incorrect time/date: Refer to section 2.1 for proper time and date setting procedures. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in after adjustment.
- Chronograph hands not resetting to zero: If the chronograph hands do not reset to the 12 o'clock position, they may need calibration. Consult a professional watch technician for this adjustment.
