Care of your watch
Avoid temperature extremes
1. Avoid leaving your watch in direct sunlight or in extremely warm conditions
for long periods of time: this will cause malfunctioning and shorten the life of
the battery.
2. Do not leave your watch for long periods of time in extremely cold places;
this may cause your watch to gain or lose time. Should it begin to gain or lose
time, place your watch on your wrist to restore its original accuracy.
Avoid wet conditions
1. Do not operate the buttons when your watch is wet, even on models marked
'Water Resistant'
2. Check case back markings and refer to the Resistance to water section.
