Water resistance applies only to the watch case; some watch straps should not be worn under water or
subjected to wet conditions. Please see Strap Care.
Avoid exposing your watch to sudden and excessive temperature variations.
Do not drop your watch or bang it against a hard surface. Water resistance must be rechecked after every
violent shock.
Clean your watch regularly by wiping it with a soft cloth dampened with fresh water, especially after exposure
to seawater.
STRAP CARE
While the life span of a watch strap depends on your care and wearing habits, as well as the climate in which
you live, proper care will extend its life.
Leather straps should be kept dry. Exposure to water may cause a leather watch strap to become brittle and
eventually break. To preserve the finish of the leather, contact with perfumes should be avoided. Following
exposure to chlorinated or salt water, gently damp wipe your leather strap with fresh water, and air dry.
To help preserve the natural elasticity and quality of a rubber, silicone or polyurethane strap, rinse it using a
soft cloth soaked in fresh water following exposure to salt water, chemicals or abrasive substances. Contact
with acetone and ethyl alcohol should be avoided.
Use warm water and a neutral pH soap applied to a soft cloth to gently clean a white silicone strap; then wipe
with a second clean cloth dipped in warm water, or rinse carefully under warm running water.
NOTE: ESQ Movado watch straps are not covered by the ESQ Movado watch warranty.
BATTERY INFORMATION
An ESQ Movado quartz timepiece has a 1.55 Volt silver-oxide battery that is specially designed for watches.
It will last approximately 18-36 months under normal use.
NOTE: Frequent use of special functions, like the stopwatch timer on chronograph models, may shorten battery
life.
End-of-life feature: The seconds hand on many models will start to move haltingly in 4-second increments when
the battery is almost exhausted, signaling the need to have it replaced.
Battery replacement: It is important to use only the replacement battery recommended by ESQ Movado.
Take or send your watch to an Authorized Service Center to have battery changed – your old battery will be
disposed of/recycled properly. Do not attempt to change the battery yourself.
