Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your watch, place it in a location with a clear view of the sky overnight to facilitate the initial Multi-Band 6 synchronization. Use the mode button to toggle through the intuitive menu to set your home city and check the battery level. For care, rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to saltwater to prevent salt crystallization on the buttons. While the resin strap is durable, avoid exposing it to harsh chemicals or extreme heat, which can cause the material to degrade over time. The watch is highly compatible with casual and outdoor apparel, fitting seamlessly into an active lifestyle.
