5. Care and Maintenance
Cleaning
Wipe the watch case and strap with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Water Resistance
The watch is water-resistant up to 50 meters (5 ATM). This means it is suitable for showering, swimming in shallow water, and rain exposure. It is not suitable for diving, snorkeling, or hot water activities (e.g., hot showers, saunas) as steam can penetrate the seals. Do not operate buttons underwater.
Battery Replacement
The watch uses a CR2016 battery. When the display dims or functions become erratic, it may be time for a battery replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.
