5. Water Resistance Guidelines

Your PINDOWS PDS-8021 watch is rated for 5ATM (50 meters) water resistance. This means it is suitable for:

• Splashes
• Rain
• Showering (cold water)
• Swimming in shallow water

Caution:

• DO NOT press any buttons underwater.
• DO NOT expose the watch to hot water, steam, or extreme temperature changes (e.g., hot showers, saunas).
• Not suitable for diving or high-speed water sports.

Water resistance is not a permanent condition and may weaken over time with normal wear and tear. Avoid exposing the watch to chemicals, soaps, or detergents, as these can damage the seals.

6. Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: Wipe the watch regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and then dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Storage: Store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
• Battery: The watch is powered by a long-lasting battery. When the display becomes dim or functions become erratic, it may be time for a battery replacement. This should be performed by a qualified watch technician to maintain water resistance.
• Impact: While durable, avoid strong impacts or dropping the watch, as this can damage internal components or the transparent case.
