•Water Resistance Rating:Check the water resistance rating (e.g., 30m, 50m, 100m) before using it in water. While these watches may be waterproof, they are typically not suited for diving or prolonged exposure to water under pressure.
•Avoid Sudden Temperature Changes:Rapid changes in temperature (e.g., moving from hot to cold environments) can potentially damage the watch or reduce its water resistance.
•Avoid Chemicals and Solvents:Keep the watch away from harsh chemicals, perfumes, or cleaning agents, as they can degrade the rubber strap or affect the functionality.
•Regular Cleaning:To maintain its appearance and performance, clean the rubber strap and watch face regularly with mild soap and water, especially after exposure to sweat, saltwater, or dirt.
•Batteries:Digital watches often use batteries, so ensure the battery is replaced when it runs low. Some waterproof models may require specific care when changing the battery to maintain water resistance.
•Not for High-Pressure Water Activities:Avoid wearing the watch while engaging in activities that involve high-pressure water, such as scuba diving or high-speed water sports, unless explicitly rated for such use.
•Strap Care:Over time, rubber straps may wear out. Keep an eye out for cracks or signs of damage, and replace the strap if necessary.
•Shock Resistance:While many rubber digital watches are shock-resistant, they may not withstand extreme impacts or drops. Avoid dropping the watch or exposing it to violent impacts.
