FAQs

What is the water resistance rating of this watch?

This watch is water-resistant for daily use, meaning it can withstand splashes and rain. It is not suitable for swimming, diving, or prolonged submersion in water.

How do I adjust the stainless steel band?

Adjusting a stainless steel watch band typically requires special tools to remove or add links. It is best to have this done by a professional watch repair service to ensure it is done correctly and without damage.

Does the auto calendar account for leap years?

The auto calendar is pre-programmed for accuracy up to February 28 days. It does not automatically account for leap years, so you will need to manually adjust the date in a leap year.

The specific battery type is not listed in the product details. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to prevent damage to the watch mechanism.

Can I use the stopwatch while the time is displayed?

Yes, you can switch between the time display and the stopwatch function by pressing the MODE button. The watch will maintain its timekeeping even when the stopwatch is not actively being used.

What is the accuracy of the watch?

The watch has an accuracy of +/- 30 seconds per month.
