If “WATER RESISTANT 5 BAR” is inscribed on the case back, your watch is designed and manufactured to withstand up to 5 bar and is suitable for wearing while swimming, yachting and taking a shower.
●Water resistance (10 bar/15 bar/20 bar)*
If “WATER RESISTANT 10 BAR”, “WATER RESISTANT 15 BAR” or “WATER RESISTANT 20 BAR” is inscribed on the case back, your watch is designed and manufactured to withstand up to 10 bar/15 bar/20 bar, respectively, and is suitable for wearing while taking a bath or shallow diving, but not for scuba diving. We recommend that you wear a SEIKO Diver’s watch while scuba diving.
*Before using a water resistant 5, 10, 15 or 20 bar watch in water, make sure the crown is pushed in completely.
Do not operate the crown when the watch is wet or in water. If used in sea water, rinse the watch in fresh water and dry it completely.

*When taking a shower while wearing a water resistant 5 bar watch, or taking a bath while wearing a water resistant 10, 15 or 20 bar watch, make sure to observe the following:
•Do not operate the crown when the watch is wet with soapy water or shampoo.
•If the watch is left in warm water, a slight time loss or gain may be caused. This condition, however, will be corrected when the watch returns to normal temperature.
NOTE:
Pressure in bar is a test pressure and should not be considered as corresponding to an actual diving depth since swimming movements tend to increase the pressure at a given depth. Care should also be taken when wearing and diving into water.
PRECAUTIONS ON WEARING YOUR WATCH
•There is a possibility of injury caused by wearing the watch on your wrist especially if you fall down or bump into other people or objects.
•Exercise care when you hold an infant or small child while wearing the watch on your wrist, as the infant or child may be injured or develop an allergic reaction caused by direct contact with the watch.
•Avoid undue shocks such as dropping or scratching against hard surfaces or playing active sports, which may cause temporary malfunctions.
