5. Maintenance

5.1. Water Resistance

The Shark Classic Tide 600 is water resistant to 100 meters (330 feet). This makes it suitable for swimming, surfing, snorkeling, and other water sports. However, it is not recommended for scuba diving at depths requiring helium gas. Always ensure the watch is clean and free of debris around the buttons after exposure to saltwater.

5.2. Cleaning

Clean the watch regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For saltwater exposure, rinse the watch thoroughly with fresh water and dry it with a soft cloth. Avoid using chemical cleaners or abrasive materials, as these can damage the watch's finish or seals.

5.3. Battery Replacement

When the display becomes dim or functions become erratic, the battery may need replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure the water resistance seal is properly maintained.
