Precautionary items and usage limitations
CAUTION
• Even if your watch has a high level of water resistance, please be careful of the following.
• If your watch is immersed in sea water, rinse thoroughly with fresh water and wipe with a
dry cloth.
• Do not pour water from a tap directly onto your watch.
• Take off your watch before taking a bath.
CAUTION
<Band>
• Leather, genuine skin and rubber (urethane) bands will deteriorate over time due to
perspiration, body oils and dirt. Be sure to replace the band periodically.
• The durability of a leather band may be affected when wet (fading, peeling of adhesive), owing
to the properties of the material. Moreover, wet leather may cause a rash.
• It is recommended to take off the watch if it gets wet, even if the watch itself is water-resistant.
• Do not wear the band too tightly. Try to leave enough space between the band and your skin to
allow adequate ventilation.
