Band
The band touches the skin directly and becomes dirty from
sweat or dust. Therefore, lack of care may accelerate
deterioration of the band or cause skin irritation or stain on the
sleeve edge. The watch requires a lot of attention for long usage.
Metallic band
○ Moisture, sweat or soil will cause rust even on a stainless steel band
if they are left for a long time.
○ Lack of care may cause a yellowish or gold stain on the lower sleeve edge of shirts.
○ Wipe off moisture, sweat or soil with a soft cloth as soon as possible.
○ To clean the soil around the joint gaps of the band, wipe it out in water
and then brush it off with a soft toothbrush (Protect the watch body from
water splashes by wrapping it up in plastic wrap etc.).
○ Because some titanium bracelets use pins made of stainless steel, which
has outstanding strength, rust may form in the stainless steel parts.
○ If rust advances, pins may poke out or drop out, and the watch case
may fall off the bracelet, or the clasp may not open.
○ If a pin is poking out, personal injury may result. In such a case, refrain
from using the watch and request repair.
Leather band
○ A leather band is susceptible to discoloration and deterioration from
moisture, sweat and direct sunlight.
○ Wipe off moisture and sweat as soon as possible by gently blotting
them up with a dry cloth.
○ Do not expose the watch to direct sunlight for a long time.
○ Please take care when wearing a watch with light-colored band, as dirt
is likely to show up.
○ Refrain from wearing a leather band watch other than Aqua Free bands while
bathing, swimming, and when working with water even if the watch itself is
water-resistant enforced for daily use (10-BAR/20-BAR water resistant).
Polyurethane band
○ A polyurethane band is susceptible to discoloration from light, and may
be deteriorated by solvent or atmospheric humidity.
○ Especially a translucent, white, or pale colored band easily adsorbs
other colors, resulting in color smears or discoloration.
○ Wash out dirt in water and clean it off with a dry cloth. (Protect the
watch body from water splashes by wrapping it up in plastic wrap etc.)
○ When the band becomes less flexible, have the band replaced with a new one. If you
continue to use the band as it is, the band may develop cracks or become brittle over time.
Notes on skin irritation and allergy
Skin irritation caused by a band has various reasons such as allergy to metals
or leathers, or skin reactions against friction on dust or the band itself.
Notes on the length of the band
Adjust the band to allow a little clearance with your wrist to
ensure proper airflow. When wearing the watch, leave enough
room to insert a finger between the band and your wrist.

Magnetic resistance (Magnetic influence)
Affected by nearby magnetism, a watch may temporarily gain or lose time or stop operating.
Indication on the case back
Condition of use
Keep the watch more than 5cm
away from magnetic products.
Keep the watch more than 1 cm
away from magnetic products.
The watch can maintain its performance in
MAGNETIC RESISTANT
most cases where it is brought close to (at
40000A/m
least 1cm spaced from) magnetic products
MAGNETIC RESISTANT
not only in normal daily life circumstances
80000A/m
but also in a special work environments.
※ A/m (ampere meter) is the International unit (SI unit) for indicating the magnetic field.
Examples of common magnetic products that may affect watches
If the watch becomes magnetized and its accuracy deteriorates to an
extent exceeding the specified rate under normal use, the watch may need
to be demagnetized. In this case, you will be charged for demagnetization
and accuracy readjustment even if it happens within the guarantee period.
The reason why this watch is affected by magnetism
The built-in speed-regulating mechanism is provided with a magnet, which
may be influenced by a strong external magnetic field.
