Care
- Cleaning: Regularly wipe your watch, including the strap and the sensors on the back, with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Water Exposure: While 5 ATM water resistant, avoid exposing the watch to high-velocity water (e.g., jet skiing) or hot water (e.g., hot tubs, saunas), as this can compromise seals over time.
