Is this watch suitable for swimming?

Does the watch have a backlight?
The Promaster Skyhawk utilizes highly legible markers, but please refer to your specific model manual regarding digital display illumination.
How often does the perpetual calendar need adjustment?
It is pre-programmed, meaning it will automatically account for months of different lengths and leap years, requiring no manual adjustment.
Troubleshooting
Digital display is difficult to read
Ensure the watch is in a well-lit area; if the display remains faint, check the internal power levels or contact an authorized service center.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Promaster Skyhawk, begin by ensuring the crown is in the correct position for mode selection. Use the pushers to cycle through the digital functions to set your local time and alarm preferences. Because this is a high-function piece, keep the instruction manual nearby for the initial setup of the perpetual calendar. For care, wipe the case and bracelet down with a soft, dry cloth after exposure to salt water or perspiration. While the watch is rated for 200 metres, avoid pressing the pushers while the watch is submerged to maintain the integrity of the seals.
