Precautionary items and usage limitations
CAUTION
<Band>
• Leather bands and rubber (urethane) bands will deteriorate over time due to perspiration or
dirt.
In addition, they are made of natural material and will be worn, deformed and discolored over
time. It is recommended 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.
• Do not stain a leather band with substances containing volatile materials, bleach, alcohol
(including cosmetics). Discoloration and premature aging may be occurred. Ultraviolet light
such as direct sunlight may cause discoloration or deformation.
• 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.
• 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.
