Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: Regularly wipe the watch and band with a damp cloth to remove sweat and dirt. For deeper cleaning, use mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly. Ensure the charging contacts are clean and dry.
- Solar Charging: To maximize solar charging, ensure the watch face (specifically the solar ring) is exposed to direct sunlight. Avoid storing it under clothing or in shaded areas when trying to charge.
- Storage: Store the device in a cool, dry place, away from extreme temperatures.
