Care
- Display Care: The spherical sapphire glass AMOLED display is highly durable. To clean, gently wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth. For smudges, a slightly damp cloth can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Water Resistance: The watch has a 5 ATM water resistance rating, meaning it is suitable for activities like swimming in a pool or shallow open water. It is *not* suitable for scuba diving, waterskiing, or other activities involving high-velocity water or submersion below shallow depth.
- Strap Care: The white composite leather strap should be cleaned regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and excessive moisture to maintain its integrity and appearance. Allow the strap to air dry completely after cleaning or exposure to water.
- Sensor Maintenance: Keep the sensors on the back of the watch clean and free of debris (e.g., sweat, dust) to ensure accurate health tracking. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe them down periodically.
