TO PRESERVE THE QUALITY OF YOUR WATCH
■WATER RESISTANCE
• Non-water resistance
If “WATER RESISTANT” is not inscribed on the case back, your watch is not water resistant, and care should be taken not to get it wet as water may damage the movement. If the watch becomes wet, we suggest that you have it checked by an AUTHORIZED SEIKO DEALER or SERVICE CENTER.
• Water resistance (3 bar)
If “WATER RESISTANT” is inscribed on the case back, your watch is designed and manufactured to withstand up to 3 bar, such as accidental contact with splashes of water or rain, but it is not designed for swimming or diving.
• Water resistance (5 bar)*
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 swimming, yachting and taking a shower.
• Water resistance (10 bar/15 bar)*
If “WATER RESISTANT 10 BAR” or “WATER RESISTANT 15 BAR” is inscribed on the case back, your watch is designed and manufactured to withstand up to 10 bar/15 bar and is suitable for taking a bath and shallow diving, but not for scuba diving. We recommend that you wear a SEIKO Diver’s watch for scuba diving.
*Before using the water resistance 5, 10, or 15 bar watch in water, be sure the crown is pushed in completely.
Do not operate the crown and buttons 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 with the water resistance 5 bar watch, or taking a bath with the water resistance 10 or 15 bar watch, be sure to observe the following:
•Do not operate the crown or push the buttons 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 actual diving depth since swimming movement tends to increase the pressure at a given depth. Care should also be taken on diving into water.
■TEMPERATURES
Your watch works with stable accuracy between a temperature range of 5°C and 35°C (41°F and 95°F).
Temperatures over 60°C (140°F) may cause battery leakage or shorten the battery life.
