Important Notes
This watch is water resistant to 50 meters, meaning it can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water during recreational swimming. However, it should not be used for diving, snorkeling, or high-impact water sports. Prolonged exposure to water, especially saltwater or chlorinated pools, may affect the strap and internal components over time. To maintain optimal performance, rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to salt or chemicals and allow it to dry completely. The nylon strap may show signs of wear with extended use but can be replaced if needed. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in to maintain water resistance. Packaging includes the watch only; no additional accessories or tools are provided.
