WARRANTY INFORMATION
RIGHTEOUS WELCOME!
Congrats on joining the FREESTYLE
Team with your ownership of this gnarly
FREESTYLE Timepiece. All
FREESTYLE products utilize the highest
quality materials and timekeeping
technology to provide the highest
performance under Earth's elements!
FREESTYLE Timepieces are designed
by Southern California Natives with you,
the core rider, in mind.
OUR ROOTS...
Born in 1981, Freestyle was the
brainchild of friendly Surfers whose
mission was to create a watch line that
could withstand the abusive conditions
of their beach lifestyle. Their experience
told them no watches in the market could
stand up to their standards. Their goal
was to fill the void. The result was
FREESTYLE!
They created timepieces which were
extremely durable with high quality
standards such as 100% Stainless Steel,
H20 resistance from 5ATM to 20ATM,
salt-water durable nylon and
polyurethane bands, in addition to other
quality materials all molded by the
highest quality craftsmanship. As
FREESTYLE has grown successfully in
the last 25 years, the core vibe remains
the same – SOCAL RAISED, SOCAL
BASED! And so does our core goal –
KEEPING YOU ON TIME, WHEN
YOU'RE LOSING YOUR MIND!

10 POINTS FOR LIFE AND CARE OF
FREESTYLE TIMEPIECES
1. Avoid exposing your FREESTYLE
to extreme temperatures such as in
a hot shower, Jacuzzi, sauna or hot
tub. The combination of extreme
heat and water may cause your
watch to lose some of its water
resistance.
2. Avoid exposing your watch to
strong chemicals, soap or
solvents as they may cause
discoloration, deterioration or
damage to strap, rubber seals
and lubricants essential to the life of
the watch.
3. Be aware of the water resistance
of your FREESTYLE timepiece.
4. Do not operate buttons or pull
out crown under water or when
the watch is wet.
5. Make sure your crown is returned
to its original position before you
hit the surf or expose your watch
to water.
6. Always rinse your FREESTYLE
watch in fresh water after exposure
to salt water, wipe dry with a soft
cloth and store in a dry place.
7. Do not wear leather bands in the
water.
8. Avoid sever impacts, or drops onto
hard surfaces.
9. Do not attempt to repair the watch
yourself. It is strongly recommended
that a certified jeweler, watch repair
technician or FREESTYLE service
center replace your battery. This will
help in preventing water leakage
from improper battery replacement,
which is not covered in your warranty.
