After exposure to water, we recommend drying your Aktiia Bracelet using a soft cloth.

To maintain its optimal functionality, it's crucial to handle your bracelet with care and minimize unnecessary exposure to humidity.

Adhering to these guidelines will contribute to the durability and consistent performance of your Aktiia Bracelet.

The water resistance and the dust resistance are not permanent and may decrease over time with normal use due to the aging of the material.
