HANDLING AND USAGE
Temperature Protection: Avoid exposing your MINI watch to extreme hot or cold temperatures. Sudden temperature changes can affect the internal mechanisms.
Magnetic Fields: Keep your watch away from strong magnets like speakers, laptops, or other electronic devices. Magnetic fields can disrupt the timekeeping accuracy.
-
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Regular Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe away any dirt, sweat, or smudges from the watch face and bracelet.
Metal Bracelets: Clean metal bracelets occasionally with a mixture of warm water and mild soap. Use a soft brush to reach crevices. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
Silicon and PU Straps: These can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents that might degrade the material.
-
STORAGE
Safe Environment: Store your watch in a cool, dry place, preferably in its original box or a watch case to prevent scratches.
Avoid Prolonged Sun Exposure: Direct sunlight can fade the color of the watch and heat can shorten battery life.
-
SERVICING
Routine Checks: Mechanical and automatic watches should be serviced every 3-5 years by a professional to ensure longevity and optimal performance.
Battery Replacement: Quartz watches require battery replacements every 2-3 years, or when the second hand starts moving in 4-second intervals.
-
WATER RESISITANCE
Understanding Limits: Even if your watch is labeled as water-resistant, avoid submerging it unless it's specifically designed for deep diving.
After Exposure: Always rinse your watch with fresh water after exposure to saltwater or chlorine.
Avoid Adjustments Underwater: Never adjust the watch settings, like the date or time, while underwater to prevent water from entering the mechanism.
-
ADDITIONAL TIPS
Chemical Exposure: Avoid direct contact with solvents, detergents, perfumes, or cosmetics, as they can damage the bracelet, case, or gasket.
Shock Protection: While many watches are designed to withstand everyday bumps, they're not immune to extreme shocks. Avoid dropping your watch or subjecting it to violent impacts.
