- Accidental damage, impact damage, unauthorised repairs, or modifications void the warranty.

Care Guide
- Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to saltwater, chlorine, or sweat to prevent residue buildup on the resin case and strap.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, or strong chemicals such as solvents, detergents, or insect repellents, which may damage the resin material.
- Wipe the case and strap regularly with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove dirt and oils. For stubborn grime, use mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly.
- Do not press any buttons while the watch is submerged in water, as this may compromise the water resistance seals.
- Check the battery indicator on the display periodically. When the battery requires replacement, have it changed by an authorised service centre to maintain water resistance and warranty coverage.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use for extended periods.
- Have the watch inspected by a professional if you notice moisture under the crystal, as this indicates compromised water resistance that requires immediate attention.
