Yes, the silicone strap is designed for durability and comfort. However, proper care is recommended to maintain its condition over time.

Can I swim with this watch?

The water resistance rating varies. Please check the specific rating for your model. Generally, it is suitable for splashes and brief immersion, but not for swimming or diving unless explicitly stated.

How do I set the chronograph?

Consult the user manual for detailed instructions on operating the chronograph functions, including starting, stopping, and resetting.

How often does the battery need to be replaced?

Troubleshooting

Watch is not running.

The battery may be depleted. Replace the battery following manufacturer guidelines or consult a professional watchmaker.

Chronograph hands are misaligned.

Reset the chronograph function. Consult the user manual for specific instructions on how to reset the sub-dials to their zero position.

Strap feels uncomfortable or is causing irritation.

Ensure the strap is not too tight. Clean the strap regularly to remove sweat and oils. If irritation persists, consider consulting a watch professional about alternative strap materials.

Care:
