WATER RESISTANCY RATINGS AND WATCH CARE

*RINSE WATCH WITH SOAP AND WATER AFTER EXPOSURE TO SALT WATER OR SAND.

Replace the battery at least every two years. Dead or low batteries left in a watch may leak and destroy the movement of your watch. If you have a water resistant watch, know that the water resistancy is attained using rubber or plastic seals which will deteriorate under normal conditions and reduce the water resistancy of your watch. These seals should be checked by an authorized jeweler at least every two years to ensure the rated water resistancy. Do not expose your watch to extreme temperatures (over 60ºC or 140ºF, under -10ºC or 14ºF). No hot tubs or saunas. Sorry, but do you really need to know the time when you're tubbing?

Avoid extreme shocks.
