Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your GM-6900YRA-8, use the side-mounted buttons to cycle through the mode, adjust, and light functions. Pressing the 'Adjust' button allows you to set time, date, and 12/24-hour formats. The watch is compatible with any lifestyle that requires water resistance and high durability. For maintenance, rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to saltwater or pool chemicals to prevent mineral buildup on the bezel and strap. Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the glass and casing regularly. Avoid exposing the watch to extreme heat or strong magnetic fields, as these can affect the quartz movement's accuracy.
