Wear And Care
All iTech Wearable products are meant to be worn all day and night, so it’s
important to follow a few simple guidelines as you wear and care for your
smartwatch.
To keep your band clean and your skin happy, we recommend the following
tips:
- Clean your band and wrist regularly – especially after intense workouts or sweating.
- Rinse the band with water or wipe it with a small amount of rubbing alcohol. Do NOT use hand soap, dish soap, hand sanitizer, cleaning wipes or household cleaners, which could get trapped beneath the band and irritate your skin.
- Always pat dry the band before putting it back on.
Although the iTech Gladiator 2 Smartwatch is IP67 water-resistant, it is not
IP68 waterproof which means you should not submerge your smartwatch in water
deeper than one meter for longer than 30 minutes. We advise you not to swim
with your smartwatch. However, your iTech Gladiator 2 Smartwatch can withstand
many splashes, rain, and daily activities such as washing dishes. If your
smartwatch gets wet, we advise you to remove it until dry. It is not good for
your skin to wear a wet band for long periods of time.
