※ 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 .
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 leave moisture, sweat and dirt on the
watch for a long time.
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.

Band
The band touches the skin directly and becomes dirty with sweat or dust.
Therefore, lack of care may accelerate deterioration of the band or cause skin irritation
or stain on the sleeve edge. The watch requires a lot of attention for long usage.
● Metallic band
・ Moisture, sweat or soil will cause rust even on a stainless steel band if they are left for a long time.
・ Lack of care may cause a yellowish or gold stain on the lower sleeve edge of shirts.
・ Wipe off moisture, sweat or soil with a soft cloth as soon as possible
・ To clean the soil around the joint gaps of the band, wipe it out in water and then brush it off with a soft toothbrush.
(Protect the watch body from water splashes by wrapping it up in plastic wrap etc.)
・ Because some titan bracelets use pins made of stainless steel, which has
outstanding strength, rust may form in the stainless steel parts.
・ If rust advances, pins may poke out or drop out, and the watch case may fall off the bracelet, or the clasp may not open.
・ If a pin is poking out, personal injury may result. In such a case, refrain from using the watch and request repair.
● Leather band
・ A leather band is susceptible to discoloration and deterioration from moisture, sweat and direct sunlight.
・ Wipe off moisture and sweat as soon as possible by gently blotting them up with a dry cloth.
・ Do not expose the watch to direct sunlight for a long time.

TO PRESERVE THE QUALITY OF YOUR WATCH
・ Please take care when wearing a watch with light-colored band, as dirt is likely to show up.
・ Refrain from wearing a leather band watch other than Aqua Free bands while bathing, swimming, and when working
with water even if the watch itself is water-resistant enforced for daily use (10- or 20-BAR water resistant).
● Polyurethane band
・ A polyurethane band is susceptible to discoloration from light, and may be deteriorated by solvent or atmospheric humidity.
・ Especially a translucent, white, or pale colored band easily adsorbs other colors, resulting in color smears or discoloration.
・ Wash out dirt in water and clean it off with a dry cloth.
(Protect the watch body from water splashes by wrapping it up in plastic wrap etc.)
・ When the band becomes less flexible, have the band replaced with a new one. If you
continue to use the band as it is, the band may develop cracks or become brittle over time.
● Silicone band
・ As for material characteristics, the band is easily dirtied, and may be stained
and discolored. Wipe off dirt with a wet cloth or cleaning tissue.
・ Unlike bands of other materials, cracks may result in the band being cut. Take
care not to damage the band with an edged tool.
Notes on the
length of the
band
Notes on skin
irritation and allergy
Skin irritation caused by a band has various reasons such as allergy to metals
or leathers, or skin reactions against friction on dust or the band itself.
Adjust the band to allow a little clearance with your wrist to
ensure proper airflow. When wearing the watch, leave enough
room to insert a finger between the band and your wrist.
Remarks on Battery
1. Notes on the battery
(1) Battery life
This watch keeps operateing for approximately 3 years if a new normal battery
is inserted in it.
※ If the alarm is used more than 20 seconds a day, the Panelight (illuminating light) more
than 3 seconds a day and/or the stopwatch more than 1 hour a day, however, the watch
may run down in less than 3 years.
(2) Monitor battery

・Once the case back is opened for battery replacement or other purposes, the
original water resistant quality designed for the watch may deteriorate when
it is closed. When you have the battery replaced with a new one, also request
the water resistance test pertaining to the water resistant quality of your
watch. If your watch has 10-bar or higher water resistant quality, be sure to
have such test performed on the watch every time the battery is replaced.
Please note that it takes several days to check the water resistant quality
of your watch. When requesting the checking, therefore, please confirm the
period required for it.
2. Battery life indicator
The watch is equipped with a battery life indicator that enables you to know
when the battery needs to be replaced.

・ Periodic inspection and adjustment by disassembly and cleaning
(overhaul) is recommended approximately once every 3 to 4 years in order
to maintain optimal performance of the watch for a long time.
According to use conditions, the oil retaining condition of your watch
mechanical parts may deteriorate; abrasion of the parts due to
contamination of oil may advance or delay the time significantly; or the
watch itself may stop.
As the parts such as the gasket may deteriorate, water-resistant
performance may be impaired due to intrusion of perspiration and
moisture.
Please contact the retailer from whom the watch was purchased for
inspection and adjustment by disassembly and cleaning (overhaul). For
replacement of parts, please specify "SEIKO GENUINE PARTS." When
asking for inspection and adjustment by disassembly and cleaning
(overhaul), make sure that the gasket and push pin are also replaced with
new ones.
・When your watch is inspected and adjusted by disassembly and cleaning
(overhauled), the movement of your watch may be replaced.
● Inspection and adjustment by disassembly and cleaning (overhaul)
● Panelight(EL: electroluminescence)
The brightness of the electroluminescence (EL) panel used for the Panelight
(illuminating light) will decrease when the battery voltage becomes low. It
will also decrease gradually with use.
※The brightness of the EL panel will decrease by half after a total of approximately
120 hours of lighting. If the Panelight (illuminating light) becomes too dark while
in use, first replace the battery with a new one. If it is still too dark after battery
replacement, replace the EL panel with a new one. Consult the retailer from
whom the watch was purchased for panel replacement. A fee will be charged for
replacement.
The normal life expectancy for the liquid panel of the watch is approximately
7 years. After that, it may decrease in contrast, becoming difficult to read.
