5. Maintenance

Water Resistance

This watch is rated for 30 meters (3 ATM) water resistance. This means it is suitable for daily use, such as hand washing, splashes, and brief immersion in water. It is not suitable for prolonged underwater activities like swimming, diving, or showering with hot water. Do not press any buttons while the watch is submerged in water.

Cleaning

To clean your watch, wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry cloth. Avoid using chemical cleaners or abrasive materials, as these can damage the watch's finish.

Battery Replacement

The watch is powered by 1 Lithium Ion battery (included). When the display becomes dim or functions become erratic, it may be time to replace the battery. Battery replacement should ideally be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.

6. Troubleshooting

  • Digital display is blank or dim: The battery may be low or depleted. Replace the battery.
  • Analog hands are not moving: Check if the crown is pushed in completely. If it is, the battery might need replacement or there could be a mechanical issue.
  • Buttons are unresponsive: Ensure the watch is not in a locked mode (if applicable, though this model typically does not have a lock function). Try resetting the watch by pulling out the crown and pushing it back in, or if possible, temporarily removing and reinserting the battery (consult a professional).
  • Water inside the watch: Immediately take the watch to a professional for inspection and repair to prevent further damage.
