Before using this watch
Protective stickers
Be sure to remove any protective stickers that may be on your watch (case
back, band, clasp, etc.). Otherwise, perspiration or moisture may enter the
gaps between the protective stickers and the parts, which may result in a
skin rash and/or corrosion of the metal parts.
Band adjustment
We do not recommend attempting to adjust the watch band yourself. If not
adjusted correctly, the band may become detached leading to an injury or
loss of your watch. (Some retailers may supply a band adjustment tool with
your purchase).
For band adjustment, we recommend you consult the retailer where the
watch was purchased or your nearest Authorized Citizen Service Center.
Some repair shops may charge a nominal fee for adjustment if the watch
was not purchased directly from them.
