Care Guide
- Daily Wear: Rinse the watch and strap with fresh water after exposure to chlorine, salt water, sunscreen, or chemicals to prevent residue buildup and skin irritation.
- Strap Maintenance: Clean the silicone strap regularly with mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly. Remove the watch periodically to allow your skin and the strap to breathe and prevent moisture accumulation.
- Screen Care: Wipe the chemically strengthened glass display with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints, dust, and smudges. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Sensor Care: Keep the optical heart rate sensor on the case back clean and free from dirt or debris. Gently wipe with a damp cloth and ensure the sensor maintains good contact with your skin for accurate readings.
- Charging: Use only the official Garmin charging cable provided with the watch. Ensure the charging contacts on both the watch and cable are clean and dry before connecting.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Charge the battery to approximately 50% before long-term storage to preserve battery health.
- Water Resistance: While water-rated to 100 metres, avoid pressing buttons underwater and do not expose the watch to high-pressure water jets or hot water, which may compromise seals.
- Software Updates: Regularly update the watch firmware via the Garmin Connect app to ensure optimal performance, new features, and bug fixes.
- Impact Protection: Although built to military standards for shock resistance, avoid deliberate impacts or dropping the watch onto hard surfaces to maintain its integrity and performance.
