Care Guide
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe the case and strap with a soft, slightly damp cloth after wear to remove perspiration, dust, and oils. Dry thoroughly with a lint-free cloth.
- Strap Maintenance: The silicone strap is durable but can attract dust. Clean periodically with mild soap and water, rinse well, and dry completely before wearing.
- Water Exposure: While the watch is water-resistant to 3 Bar, avoid submerging it in water. Never operate the crown when wet, as moisture can enter the case.
- Crown Care: Ensure the crown is pushed fully in against the case after setting the time or date. This maintains the watch's water resistance seal.
- Avoid Impacts: Although robust, the plastic crystal can scratch. Remove your watch during activities involving heavy impact or contact with hard surfaces.
- Chemical Exposure: Avoid contact with solvents, detergents, perfumes, cosmetics, and other chemicals, as these may damage the polymer case and silicone strap.
- Storage: When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and magnetic fields. Keep it in its original box if possible.
- Battery Replacement: When the watch stops or the seconds hand jumps in 4-second intervals, it's time for a battery change. Have this done by a professional watchmaker to maintain water resistance.
- Professional Servicing: We recommend having your Swatch inspected every 3-4 years by our qualified technicians to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
