Important Notes
This watch is designed for active use and is water resistant up to 200 meters, making it suitable for swimming and snorkeling but not recommended for scuba diving or high-impact water sports. To maintain optimal performance, expose the watch to light regularly—direct sunlight for a few hours per week is ideal. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures or strong magnetic fields. The stainless steel bracelet may require occasional cleaning to preserve its finish. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in and secured before water exposure. No battery replacement is ever needed thanks to Eco-Drive technology.
