Precautionary items and usage limitations

Caring for Your Watch

• Wipe any dirt or moisture such as perspiration from the case and crystal with a soft cloth.

• For metallic, plastic or synthetic rubber (polyurethane) band, clean it with soap and a soft 

toothbrush. Be sure to thoroughly rinse the band after cleaning to remove any soap residue.

• For a leather band, wipe off dirt using a dry cloth.

• If you will not be using your watch for an extended period of time, carefully wipe off any 

perspiration, dirt or moisture and store in a proper location, avoiding locations subject to 

excessively high or low temperatures and high humidity.

<When Luminous Paint is used for your watch>

The paint on the dial and hands helps you with reading the time in a dark place. The luminous 

paint stores light (daylight or artificial light) and glows in a dark place.  

It is free from any radioactive substance or any other material harmful to a human body or 

environment.

• The light emission will appear bright at first and then diminish as time passes.

• The duration of the light (“glow”) will vary depending on the brightness, types of and 

distance from a light source, exposure time, and the amount of the paint.

• The paint may not glow and/or may dissipate quickly if exposure to light was not sufficient.
