CARE OF YOUR WATCH
Avoid Harmful Chemicals:
Avoid wearing your watch in the presence of harmful chemicals, solvents and gases.
If your watch does encounter materials such as gasoline, benzine, paint thinner, alcohol, spray cosmetics,
nail polish, nail polish remover, adhesives or paint; this may result in discolouration, deterioration or damage to the case, band and other components.
Avoid Temperature Extremes:
Avoid leaving your watch in direct sunlight or in extremely warm locations for long periods of time: this will cause malfunctioning and shorten the life of the battery.
Do not leave your watch for long periods of time in extremely cold places; this may cause your watch to gain or lose time.
Avoid Strong Shock:
Avoid dropping your watch or subjecting it to any form of severe shock.
Keep Your Watch Clean:
It may become difficult to pull out the crown due to dirt and dust getting caught between the crown and the watch case when the watch is worn for long periods of time. To help prevent this from happening turn the crown freely back and forth occasionally, while it is in the normal running position.
Avoid Strong Magnetic Fields:
Keep your watch out of the immediate vicinity of strong magnets.
Generally, your watch is not affected by magnetic fields from such household appliances as television sets and stereo equipment.
Battery Replacement:
Batteries should be replaced by a reputable watch / jewellery specialist. Do not attempt to replace the battery yourself, as this will invalidate your warranty.
Safety Note:
Always be sure to keep watch type batteries out of reach of infants and small children, should accidental ingestion occur, consult a doctor at once.
