Precautionary items and usage limitations
• Do not wear the band too tightly. Try to leave enough space between the band and your skin to
allow adequate ventilation.
• The rubber (urethane) band may be stained by dyes or soil present in or on clothing or other
accessories. Since these stains may not be removable, caution is required when wearing your watch
with items that tend to easily transfer color (articles of clothing, purses, etc.). In addition, the band
may be deteriorated by solvents or moisture in the air. Replace with a new one when it has lost
elasticity or become cracked.
• Please request adjustment or repair of the band in the following cases:
- You notice an abnormality with the band due to corrosion.
- The pin of the band is protruding.
• We do not recommend attempting to adjust the watch band yourself. Special expertise and
experience is required for proper adjustment. If not adjusted correctly, the band may become
detached leading to loss of your watch. (Some retailers may supply a band adjustment tool with
your purchase).
For band adjustment, we recommend you consult the retailer from where the watch was purchased
or your nearest Authorized Service Center. Some repair shops may charge a nominal fee for
adjustment if the watch was not purchased directly from them.
<Temperature>
• The watch may stop or the function of the watch may be impaired in extremely high or low
temperature. Do not use the watch in places where the temperature is outside the operating
temperature range as stated in the specifications.
