The device is a mini colour watch, designed for personal timekeeping. It comes with a 2-year warranty and is distributed by ALDI Stores in Australia. The watch is intended for private use only and is not suitable for commercial purposes.
The primary function of this device is to indicate the time. It features a crown for setting the time and a bezel that indicates minutes in increments of ten. The watch is equipped with a button cell battery, which is pre-inserted upon purchase.
To set the time, the user needs to pull the crown out to position 1, turn it until the hands are set to the current time, and then push the crown back to position 0 to start time measurement. The watch is designed to be watertight to a limited extent, making it suitable for activities like rain and splashes, and washing hands. However, it is not recommended for showering, bathing, swimming, or water sports. The manual explicitly warns against immersing the watch in water or other liquids for prolonged periods. It also advises against wearing the watch in a sauna due to potential condensate build-up from temperature differences, which could damage the watch mechanism.
The manual emphasizes several safety warnings. A critical warning concerns the button cell battery, which poses a chemical burn hazard if ingested. Users are instructed to keep batteries out of reach of children and to seek immediate medical attention if a battery is swallowed. The battery compartment must close securely; if not, the product should not be used and kept away from children. Used batteries should be disposed of immediately and properly. Users are warned not to charge, reactivate, disassemble, or short-circuit batteries, nor to dispose of them in fire.
The watch contains small parts and protective films, which could pose a suffocation hazard to children. These items should be kept away from children. The device can be used by children aged eight and over, as well as persons with impaired physical, sensory, or mental capacities, provided they are supervised or have been instructed on safe use and understand the associated risks. Children should not play with the watch, and cleaning or maintenance should not be performed by unsupervised children.
The watch should not be used if it exhibits visible damages. It should be protected from extreme temperatures, dust, shocks, impacts, and pressure. The manual advises against placing heavy objects on the watch. Cleaning should be done with a soft, damp, lint-free cloth or a soft brush. Aggressive cleaners, sharp, or metallic cleaning utensils should not be used as they could damage the surfaces. The watch should not be immersed in water or other liquids during cleaning.
Battery replacement should always be performed by a specialist, as a special tool is required, and correct polarity must be ensured. The manual states that watertightness is not a lasting property, as sealing elements can deteriorate over time due to daily use or damage from impacts. If condensate forms inside the housing due to temperature differences (e.g., after swimming in cool water after sunbathing), it is mandatory to promptly remove the moisture, even if it doesn't necessarily indicate water leaks.
Packaging materials should be sorted and disposed of according to type, with cardboard for waste paper recycling and films with recyclables collection. Old devices that are no longer functional should be disposed of in accordance with local regulations. Batteries and rechargeable batteries, regardless of whether they contain harmful substances, must be taken to a communal collection point or retailer for environmentally friendly disposal. The manual specifies that batteries labeled with Cd (cadmium), Hg (mercury), or Pb (lead) must be disposed of properly.
