Handling the Watch
(1) Water Resistance
- Water-resistant (30m): Suitable for daily use such as washing hands or being in the rain. Not suitable for swimming or submersion in water.
- Water-resistant Category I (50m): Suitable for daily use and can be worn in water. Not suitable for diving or swimming without a diving suit.
- Water-resistant Category II (100m, 150m, 200m): Suitable for diving without a diving suit. Not suitable for scuba diving with compressed air (e.g., helium mixtures).
(2) Shock Resistance
- Always remove the watch during strenuous sports. Light sports like golf will have minimal impact.
- Avoid strong impacts, such as dropping the watch.
(3) Magnetic Properties
- If the watch is left near objects with strong magnetic fields for extended periods, its components may become magnetized, leading to malfunction. Be cautious.
- Strong magnetic fields may cause the watch to run fast or slow temporarily. The time will normalize once the watch is removed from the magnetic field. In such cases, re-set the correct time.
(4) Vibration
- Strong vibrations (e.g., riding a motorcycle, operating a pneumatic hammer or chainsaw) may cause the watch to run fast or slow.
Water Resistance Table
The following table provides recommendations for using the watch according to its water resistance category, as indicated on the dial or case back.
| Category | Usage Conditions | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Daily Use (Washing, Rain, etc.) | Water Sports (Swimming, Yachting, Fishing) | Diving (without suit) | Scuba Diving (with suit/air) | Crown Operation Underwater | ||
| Non-water-resistant | On the case back, there is no WATER RESISTANT marking. | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ |
| Water-resistant (Daily Use) | On the case back, there is a WATER RESISTANT marking. | ⭕ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ |
| Water-resistant Category I (50m / 5 bar) | On the case back or dial, there is a 50M (5 bar) marking. On the case back, there is a WATER RESISTANT marking. | ⭕ | ⭕ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ |

It is recommended to use the watch in accordance with the water resistance category indicated on the dial or case back.
(5) Temperature
The watch may malfunction in environments with temperatures below 5°C or above 50°C.
(6) Chemicals, Gases, etc.
Avoid contact with gases, mercury, and chemical substances (solvents, gasoline, various solvents containing such components, glue, paints, medicines, perfumes, cosmetics, etc.). This may cause discoloration of the watch case, strap, and dial. It may also cause discoloration, deformation, and damage to components on a rubber base.
Battery Replacement
The battery (SEIKO SR927W, Maxell SR927W, or SONY972W) is the power source for your watch and is expected to function for approximately 3 years. However, as it is installed at the factory, the actual battery life from the time of purchase may be less than 3 years.
Be sure to replace the battery as soon as it runs out to prevent possible malfunctions.
For battery replacement, it is recommended to contact a local watch repair shop.
"Luminous Light"
In some models, "luminous light" is used for the hands and dial. "Luminous light" is a safe, light-accumulating paint that does not contain radioactive materials.
Water-resistant Strap
Some models are equipped with a leather and nylon strap that has been treated with a special composition to prevent sweat and moisture penetration. It should be noted that over time and depending on usage conditions, the water-resistant effect may decrease.
