Maintaining Your Watch's Water Resistance

For all models, follow these care instructions:

• Rinse with fresh water after exposure to salt water, chlorine, or chemicals
• Dry properly with a soft, lint-free cloth before storage or charging
• Avoid temperature extremes that could compromise seals
• Keep charging ports clean and dry
• Regularly inspect for visible damage to seals, buttons, or the case

Remember that water resistance naturally degrades over time, and your warranty covers water damage only when the watch is used within its specified rating limits.
