Avoid deep-sea diving or high-pressure water sports. Always ensure the crown is pushed in completely before entering the water to maintain the internal seal and protect the movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eHow do I adjust the bracelet size?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe stainless steel bracelet uses a pin-and-collar system. You can remove individual links to shorten the band. We recommend using a dedicated watch tool or visiting a professional to ensure the gold-tone finish remains free of marks during the sizing process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat type of battery does it require?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThis Bulova Marine Star uses a standard silver oxide button cell battery. Under normal conditions, the battery lasts approximately two to three years. You can replace the battery yourself with a case opener tool or have it serviced at any watch repair shop in your area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eIs the gold finish durable for daily wear?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe gold-tone accents use an ion-plating process. This method bonds the color to the stainless steel at a molecular level. It resists fading and peeling much better than traditional gold plating, even with daily contact with skin, sweat, and moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eDoes the chronograph track split times?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eYes, the six-hand quartz movement allows you to measure both total elapsed time and split intervals. This is useful for timing laps or specific tasks while the main clock continues to track the current time of day on the primary dial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want to change the look of your 98B230, check our \u003ca href=\"\/en-gb\/blogs\/watchband-installation-guides\/watch-bracelet-replacement-guide-to-changing-watch-bands\"\u003ewatch band replacement guide\u003c\/a\u003e for step-by-step instructions.
