Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the watch involves using the side push-buttons to cycle through modes and increment digits. Consult the digital manual to set the base time, dual time, and alarm schedules correctly. For compatibility, the silver-tone finish pairs well with both casual denim and business-casual attire. To maintain the watch, avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or extreme temperatures, which may degrade the seals or finish. If the screen becomes smudged, use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to wipe the surface gently. While the watch is water-resistant for daily use, avoid submerging it during swimming or showering to preserve the internal module.
