Maintenance
Cleaning Your Watch
Wipe the watch case and strap regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For silicone straps, a mild soap solution and water can be used, followed by thorough rinsing and drying. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the watch's finish.
Water Resistance
This watch is water-resistant to 10 ATM (100 meters), making it suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and water sports. It is not suitable for diving. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water. Do not operate the buttons while the watch is submerged or wet, as this can compromise the water resistance.

The watch is powered by a quartz battery. When the battery runs low, the digital display may dim or the watch may stop functioning. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.
