Cautions For Accuracy; Handling Cautions - Seiko Cal. 9S85 Operating Instructions Manual

■CAUTIONS FOR ACCURACY

○ Normal usage accuracy of a mechanical watch varies depending on individual customer's
use conditions such as winding state of the mainspring by movement amount of the
customer's arm per day, temperature environment, and posture (direction of the watch).
Accordingly, the actual normal usage accuracy when the watch is used by a customer
may differ from the numerical value of each item specified in the Grand Seiko Standard.
○ The target range of normal usage accuracy when the watch is actually used by a
customer is set to –1 to +10 seconds (in the case of Cal. 9S86 and 9S85, -1 to +8
seconds) per day.
To correctly judge the normal usage accuracy, please use the watch for not only one day,
but also approximately one week to 10 days under normal use conditions to check loss
or gain of time. If the average value per day exceeds the target range, we will adjust the
watch. (Adjustment is provided Free of charge for two years after purchase, then
charged thereafter. For more details, please refer to the instruction manual.)
○ The enclosed Grand Seiko Standard Inspection Certificate certifies the values of a
movement single unit before assembly in a case which are measured under an artificially
controlled environment in the production factory passed the Grand Seiko standard
inspection.
Should the certificate be lost or after repair or adjustment, it cannot be reissued.

■HANDLING CAUTIONS

To indicate the risks of serious consequences such as severe injuries
WARNING
unless the following safety regulations are strictly observed.
Immediately stop wearing the watch in the following cases.
○ If the watch body or band becomes edged by corrosion etc.
○ If the pins protrude from the band.
※ Immediately consult the retailer from whom the watch was purchased or
SEIKO CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER.
Keep the watch and accessories out of the reach of
babies and children.
Care should be taken to prevent a baby or a child accidentally swallowing the
accessories. If a baby or child swallows the battery or accessories, immediately
consult a doctor, as it will be harmful to the health of the baby or child.
WARNING
Do not use the watch in scuba diving or
saturation diving.
The various tightened inspections under simulated harsh environment, which
are usually required for watches designed for scuba diving or saturation
diving, have not been conducted on the water-resistant watch with the BAR
(barometric pressure) display. For diving, use special watches for diving.
2
To indicate the risks of light injuries or material damages unless
CAUTIONS
the following safety regulations are strictly observed.
Avoid wearing or storing the watch in the following places.
○ Places where volatile agents (cosmetics such as polish remover, bug repellent,
thinners etc.) are vaporizing
○ Places where the temperature drops below 5 ºC or rises above 35 ºC for a long time
○ Places of high humidity ○ Places affected by strong magnetism or static electricity
○ Dusty places ○ Places affected by strong vibrations
If you observe any allergic symptoms or skin irritation
Stop wearing the watch immediately and consult a specialist such as a dermatologist or an allergist.
Other cautions
○ Replacement of the metal band requires professional knowledge and skill. Please ask the retailer
from whom the watch was purchased for replacement of the metal band, as there is a risk of hand
or finger injury and fear of losing parts.
○ Do not disassemble or tamper with the watch.
○ Keep the watch out of the reach of babies and children. Extra care should be taken to avoid risks
of any injury or allergic rash or itching that may be caused when they touch the watch.
○ If your watch is of the fob or pendant type, the strap or chain attached to the watch may damage
your clothes, or injure the hand, neck, or other parts of your body.
○ Please keep in mind that if a watch is taken off and placed down as it is, the case back, the band and
the clasp will rub against each other possibly causing scratches on the case back. We recommend
placing a soft cloth between the case back, the band and the clasp after taking off your watch.
CAUTIONS
Do not turn or pull out the crown when the
watch is wet.
Water may get inside of the watch.
※ If the inner surface of the glass is clouded with condensation or water droplets appear inside of the watch
for a long time, the water resistant performance of the watch is deteriorated. Immediately consult the retailer
from whom the watch was purchased or SEIKO CUSTMER SERVICE CENTER.
Do not leave moisture, sweat and dirt on the
watch for a long time.
Be aware of a risk that a water resistant watch may lessen its water
resistant performance because of deterioration of the adhesive on the
glass or gasket, or the development of rust on stainless steel.
Do not wear the watch while taking a bath or a sauna.
Steam, soap or some components of a hot spring may accelerate
the deterioration of water resistant performance of the watch.
Do not pour running water directly from the faucet.
The water pressure of tap water from a faucet is high enough to
degrade the water resistant performance of a water resistant
watch for everyday life.
