REMARKS ON USING THE WATCH

This watch is not water resistant, and care should be taken not to get it wet.

Also, do not touch the hour and minute hands with wet fingers, as this will adversely affect the time accuracy.

If the watch becomes wet, have it checked by an AUTHORIZED SEIKO DEALER or

As the front cover is opened and closed every time you read the time, we recommend that the push pin supporting it be replaced with a new one once a year.

Years

The miniature battery which powers your watch should last approximately 2 years (Cal. 2A27 and Cal. 4J27) / 5 years (Cal. 7C17). However, because the battery is inserted at the factory to check the function and performance of the watch, its actual life once in your possession may be less than the specified period. When the battery expires, be sure to replace it as soon as possible to prevent any malfunction. For battery replacement, we recommend that you contact an AUTHORIZED SEIKO DEALER and request SEIKO SR621SW (Cal. 2A27) / SEIKO SR521SW (Cal. 4J27) / SEIKO SR43SW (Cal. 7C17) battery.
