expertise and experience is required for proper adjustment. If not adjusted
correctly, the band may become detached leading to loss of your watch. (Some
retailers may supply a band adjustment tool with your purchase).
For band adjustment, we recommend you consult the retailer from 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.
<Temperature>
•The watch may stop or the function of the watch may be impaired in extremely
high or low temperature. Do not use the watch in places where the temperature
is outside the operating temperature range as stated in the specifications.
<Magnetism>

Subjecting the watch to strong magnetism from the outside can cause
the motor to operate improperly and prevent the watch from keeping time
accurately. Do not allow the watch to come into close proximity to magnetic
health devices (magnetic necklaces, magnetic elastic bands, etc.) or the
magnets used in the latches of refrigerator doors, clasps used in handbags, the
speaker of a cell phone, electromagnetic cooking devices and so on.
