2. Band Adjustment
The NIXON Fremont 40 features a stainless steel 3-link band with a deployment clasp. For proper fit, the band may need to be adjusted by adding or removing links. It is recommended to have this adjustment performed by a professional watchmaker or jeweler to prevent damage to the band or clasp.

Operating the Watch
Timekeeping

Water Resistance (100 Meters / 10 ATM)
This watch is designed with a water resistance rating of 100 meters (10 ATM). This means it is suitable for recreational swimming, snorkeling, and showering.
