Important Notes
Although the watch is water-resistant to 100 meters, it is not suitable for scuba diving or high-pressure underwater activities. The pre-installed lithium battery is expected to last up to 10 years under normal usage conditions. The product remains in active production and is not discontinued by the manufacturer. To maintain water resistance, always ensure the buckle is securely fastened. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures or strong magnetic fields, as these may affect the watch’s accuracy and longevity.
