RIGHTEOUS WELCOME!
Congrats on joining the FREESTYLE Team with your ownership of this gnarly FREESTYLE Timepiece. All FREESTYLE products utilize the highest quality materials and timekeeping technology to provide the highest performance under Earth’s elements! FREESTYLE Timepieces are designed by Southern California Natives with you, the core rider, in mind.
OUR ROOTS…
Born in 1981, Freestyle was the brainchild of friendly Surfers whose mission was to create a watch line that could withstand the abusive conditions of their beach lifestyle. Their experience told them no watches in the market could stand up to their standards. Their goal was to fill the void. The result was
FREESTYLE!
They created timepieces which were extremely durable with high quality standards such as 100% Stainless Steel, H20 resistance from 5ATM to 20ATM,
KEEPING YOU ON TIME, WHEN YOU’RE LOSING YOUR MIND!

10 POINTS FOR LIFE AND CARE OF FREESTYLE TIMEPIECES
1.Avoid exposing your FREESTYLE to extreme temperatures such as in a hot shower, Jacuzzi, sauna or hot tub. The combination of extreme heat and water may cause your watch to lose some of its water resistance.
2.Avoid exposing your watch to strong chemicals, soap or solvents as they may cause discoloration, deterioration or damage to strap, rubber seals and lubricants essential to the life of the watch.
3.Be aware of the water resistance of your FREESTYLE timepiece.
4.Do not operate buttons or pull out crown under water or when the watch is wet.
5.Make sure your crown is returned to its original position before you hit the surf or expose your watch to water.
6.Always rinse your FREESTYLE watch in fresh water after exposure to salt water, wipe dry with a soft cloth and store in a dry place.
7.Do not wear leather bands in the water.
8.Avoid sever impacts, or drops onto hard surfaces.
9.Do not attempt to repair the watch yourself. It is strongly recommended that a certified jeweler, watch repair technician or FREESTYLE service center replace your battery. This will help in preventing water leakage from improper battery replacement, which is not covered in your warranty.
