5. Maintenance

Water Resistance:

The watch is rated for 30 meters (3ATM) water resistance, meaning it can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion like hand washing. It is not suitable for swimming, showering, or diving. Important: Do not press any buttons underwater. Pressing buttons underwater can compromise the watch's water resistance and lead to internal damage.

Temperature Exposure:

Avoid exposing the watch to extreme hot or cold temperatures, as this can affect its performance and battery life.

Cleaning:

To clean your watch, wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth. For the stainless steel band, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Battery Replacement:

When the display dims or functions become erratic, it may be time to replace the battery. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.

6. Troubleshooting

Display is blank or dim:

• The battery may be low. Consider replacing the battery.
• Ensure the watch is not exposed to extreme temperatures.

Buttons are unresponsive:

• Check if the watch is in a specific mode that restricts button functionality.
• If the watch has been exposed to water, ensure it is completely dry.

Mist or droplets inside the watch:

If mist or droplets are found inside the watch surface, contact the manufacturer or a qualified service center immediately for maintenance. This prevents moisture corrosion of the internal components.

Time is inaccurate:

• Re-set the time following the instructions in the 'Setting Time and Date' section.
• A low battery can sometimes affect timekeeping accuracy.
