Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Clean the watch case and strap regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. For the silicone strap, mild soap and water can be used, followed by thorough rinsing and drying.
- Water Resistance: The 10 ATM water resistance rating allows for swimming and showering. Rinse with fresh water after exposure to salt water or chlorine and dry thoroughly. Avoid exposing the watch to high-velocity water (e.g., water skiing) or deep immersion beyond its rating.
- Storage: Store the watch in a cool, dry place when not in use for extended periods. Ensure the battery is partially charged before long-term storage.
