Water Resistance Guidelines
The SKMEI 2499 watch is rated for 50 meters (5 ATM) of water resistance. This means it is suitable for daily use, hand washing, rain, and short periods of swimming in shallow water. It is not suitable for diving, snorkeling, or high-pressure water activities.
- Do not press any buttons while the watch is submerged in water.
- Avoid exposing the watch to hot water or steam, as this can compromise the seals.
- After exposure to saltwater, rinse the watch with fresh water and dry it thoroughly.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the watch regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying.
- Storage: Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Battery: When the display dims or functions become erratic, the battery may need replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a professional to maintain water resistance.
- Avoid Chemicals: Do not expose the watch to solvents, detergents, perfumes, or other chemical agents, as they can damage the case, strap, or seals.
