What should I do if the buttons on my Polar Favor sport watch are not functioning properly underwater?

To troubleshoot if the buttons on your Polar Favor sport watch are not functioning properly underwater, follow these steps: 1. Avoid operating buttons underwater: The buttons on the Polar Favor sport watch are not designed to be operated underwater. To prevent any issues, avoid pressing the buttons while submerged. 2.

This helps to prevent any potential water damage that could affect the button functionality. 3. Check for debris or blockage: Inspect the buttons for any debris or blockage that may be hindering their operation. Gently clean the buttons using a soft cloth or a cotton swab dipped in water, if necessary. Ensure that there is no dirt or residue that could be causing the buttons to stick or malfunction. 4.
