Care Guide
- Wipe the case and resin strap regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt and perspiration
- For deeper cleaning of the resin strap, use a soft brush with mild soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and dry completely
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, as resin can become brittle in very cold conditions or soften in excessive heat
- Do not expose the watch to chemicals, solvents, detergents, or perfumes, as these can damage the resin case and strap
- Avoid impact and dropping the watch, as the resin glass is more susceptible to scratching than mineral or sapphire crystal
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use
- Have the battery replaced by a professional watchmaker when it runs low to prevent potential leakage damage
- During battery replacement, have the water-resistance gaskets checked and replaced if necessary
- Do not attempt to open the case yourself, as this will void the warranty and may compromise water resistance
- Keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields, which can affect quartz movement accuracy
