4. Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning Your Watch
Regularly clean your watch with a soft, damp cloth. For the silicone strap, mild soap and water can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the watch finish or strap.
4.2 Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by a CR2016 battery. When the display dims or functions become erratic, it may be time for a battery replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.
4.3 Water Resistance Care
To preserve the water resistance of your watch, avoid exposing it to extreme temperature changes (e.g., hot showers followed by cold water). Ensure the crown and pushers are fully depressed before exposing the watch to water.
5. Troubleshooting
5.1 Display is Dim or Blank
If the display is dim or blank, the battery may need replacement. Refer to section 4.2 for battery replacement recommendations.
5.2 Buttons Are Unresponsive
Ensure the watch is not in a locked mode. If buttons remain unresponsive, a soft reset may be required. This typically involves holding down a combination of buttons; consult the full manual for your specific model if this issue persists.
5.3 Time Inaccuracy
If the watch is losing or gaining time significantly, the battery might be low, or the internal module may require service. Consider battery replacement first.
