as well as the climate of the place where the person lives. An
original replacement on straps is possible to be re-ordered
through an authorized service center.
• PU straps are usually very hardwearing, please wash them with
mild soapy water only.
• There may be discoloration for light color and transparent
straps after normal wear for some time.

severe redness, itching, rash or hives, you should stop wearing
this watch, and consult your doctor.
