Regular Cleaning:
Periodically clean your Moto Watch 120 and the strap to remove dirt, sweat, or other residues. Use clean, lukewarm water and a soft cloth or microfiber cloth. This helps maintain both the aesthetic appearance and hygiene of your watch.
Drying:
After cleaning, gently dry your Moto Watch 120 with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid rubbing the device, as this can cause scratches. Ensure that the watch is completely dry before charging or wearing it again.
Avoid Chemicals:
DO NOT use shampoo, soap, or any other chemical cleaners to clean the watch, as they may irritate your skin or damage the surface. Harsh chemicals can also corrode the watch’s materials and may cause damage to the display or sensors. Use only water and a microfiber cloth for cleaning.
Screen Protection:
The screen may collect smudges or fingerprints, which can affect visibility. Clean the screen gently with a microfiber cloth to remove fingerprints and keep it clear.
Wipe After Workout:
After exercise, wipe your wrist and the Moto Watch 120 with a dry cloth or tissue. Sweat may affect the watch’s sensors and performance. Keeping the watch dry also prevents skin irritation and buildup of sweat, which can cause discomfort or bacteria growth.
Band Care:
If you’re using a leather strap, be cautious of sweat accumulation, as it can affect the leather's appearance and integrity over time. Regularly wipe the leather strap after each workout and ensure it is completely dry before wearing it again.
Hot Shower or Sauna:
It’s best to remove your Moto Watch 120 before taking a hot shower or visiting a sauna. The exposure to excessive steam can compromise the device's water resistance by impacting the watch's seals. The heat and moisture may also affect the performance of the touchscreen.
Swimming & Submersion:
Although the Moto Watch 120 is rated IP67 for water resistance (protection against immersion in water up to 1 meter for up to 30 minutes), avoid using it in high-pressure water environments like diving or high-speed water sports. Over time, repeated exposure to water may weaken the seals and cause water damage.
Avoid Extreme Temperatures:
Keep your Moto Watch 120 away from extreme heat or cold. Avoid leaving it in direct sunlight for long periods, especially on hot days, as prolonged exposure to high temperatures can shorten battery life and cause internal damage. Similarly, do not store the device in places where the temperature drops below freezing, as this can also affect performance and battery health.
Prevent Scratches:
Protect the watch from sharp objects or rough surfaces that may cause scratches. If the watch is not in use, store it in a soft pouch or on a safe surface to prevent accidental damage.
Avoid Heavy Impacts:
The Moto Watch 120 is built to withstand everyday activities, but it is not designed to endure heavy impacts. Avoid dropping or knocking the watch against hard surfaces to prevent damage to the screen, body, or internal components.
Band Care:
For watches with silicone or leather bands, make sure to keep them clean and dry to avoid bacterial growth. Leather straps should not be exposed to excessive moisture, while silicone straps should be cleaned regularly to prevent the buildup of dirt and grime.
Avoid Full Discharge:
It’s ideal to keep the battery charge between 20% and 80% to prolong its lifespan. Avoid letting the watch battery completely discharge to 0% on a regular basis, as this can shorten its long-term performance.
Charging Practices:
Only use the approved charging cable and adapter provided with your Moto Watch 120. Ensure that the charging port is dry and free from dirt or debris before plugging in. Avoid overcharging your device, and unplug it once fully charged to maintain the battery’s longevity.
Update Software Regularly:
Make sure your Moto Watch 120 is always running the latest software version for optimal performance and new feature enhancements. Regular software updates can also help fix any bugs or issues that may arise with the device.
Perform Regular Reset:
If you notice performance issues, you may want to try restarting your Moto Watch 120 to clear any temporary glitches. If problems persist, consider performing a factory reset (after backing up any important data).
Protect from External Interference:
Avoid placing the watch near strong magnetic fields or electronics that may disrupt its sensors or communication with your paired phone (e.g., speakers, large metal objects, or industrial equipment).
By following these thorough care and maintenance guidelines, you can help ensure that your Moto Watch 120 remains in top condition for long-term use, providing you with reliable performance for years to come.
