Important Notes

While the watch includes a lithium-ion battery, it is primarily powered by automatic winding through wrist motion and does not require frequent battery changes. The mineral crystal offers good scratch resistance but may show wear over time with heavy impact. Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures or magnetic fields to preserve movement accuracy. The leather strap should be kept dry and conditioned periodically to maintain its texture and longevity. For warranty details, customers should refer to the manufacturer’s official policy. This model ranks among the top men’s wrist watches in its category, reflecting its popularity and customer satisfaction.
