• Resistència a l'aigua: Your watch is water-resistant to 100 meters (10 ATM). This means it is suitable for swimming and snorkeling. No feu funcionar la corona ni els polsadors mentre el rellotge estigui mullat o submergit a l'aigua. Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature changes, such as moving from a hot sauna directly into cold water, as this can compromise the seals.
• Substitució de la bateria: As a quartz watch, it is powered by a battery. When the battery runs low, the second hand may start to jump in two-second intervals (End-of-Life indicator). Have the battery replaced by an authorized Bulova service center or a qualified watchmaker to ensure proper sealing and function.
• Camps magnètics: Avoid exposing your watch to strong magnetic fields, as this can affect the accuracy of the quartz movement.
